How To Install Multiple Solar Panels

Any solar power application starts of course with solar panels.

How to install multiple solar panels.

Consider having a set of four solar panels. Install a micro inverter and grounding wire for each solar panel. If you connect these four panels in parallel all of them must have the same voltage and therefore will generate at the maximum possible voltage for one of the panels which means 9v. This essentially creates a parallel rather than series circuit meaning the whole system won t break down if one panel stops functioning.

Solar panels are wired in series when you connect the positive terminal of one panel to the negative terminal of another. Installing the solar panels to the roof without spending a fortune. As clearly visible in the picture it will be enough to wire the positive pole of one panel to the positive pole of the other one and then wire the negative pole of one panel to the negative pole of the other one. Parallel series and a combination of parallel and series.

When solar panels are wired in series the voltage of the panels adds together but the amperage remains the same. Theses are the diodes that i use they are the same ones that are used when building the panels. We chose to use 2 150 watt. Here is a quick look at how we installed our system including a simple and inexpensive way to install solar panels to any roof.

Connecting multiple solar panels. If we have two solar panels with same voltage and power the connection will be very simple.
