How To Connect Two Solar Panels Together

Wiring solar panels in a parallel circuit connect all the positive terminals of all the solar panels together and all the negative terminals of all the panels together.

How to connect two solar panels together.

Maximum rated current 5 8a. Nonetheless it is possible to wire them in parallel. Then they are connected to the charge controller or to the inverter of the solar system. There are 3 ways to connect solar panels.

Wiring solar panels in parallel implies connecting positive terminals of each panel together and wiring the negative terminals of each panel together as well. You connect solar panels in series when you want to get a higher voltage. For more information visit the page how to wire solar panels in parallel. For example our 115w sunpower solar blanket has the following ratings.

The parallel connection allows to increase the current keeping the same voltage. If we have two or more solar panels with the same voltage but with different current it is not possible to wire them in series. Maximum rated voltage 19 8v. There are two main types of connecting solar panels in series or in parallel.

For this example i am showing you connecting panels that are for a 12 volt system. The first way i am going to talk about is parallel because this is probably the most common way that panels will be connected. Parallel series and a combination of parallel and series. If both panels are rated at the same maximum voltage then you ll get maximum output.

If you however need to get higher current you should connect your panels in parallel.
