Solar Panel Wiring Configurations

Solar Panels Wired in Series
When solar panels are wired in series, the positive terminal of one solar panel is wired to the negative terminal of the next solar panel.
When panels are connected in series:
• Voltage accumulates (adds) for each panel in series.
• Wattage accumulates (adds) for each panel in series.
• Current (Amps) remains the same as a single panel in the series.
Solar Panels Wired in Parallel
When solar panels are wired in parallel, the positive terminal of one solar panel is wired to the positive terminal of the next solar panels.
Likewise, the negative terminals are connected together to the negative terminals of the next solar panel.
When panels are connected in parallel:
• Voltage remains the same as a single panel in the parallel connection.
• Wattage accumulates (adds) for each panel added.
• Current (Amps) accumulates (adds) for each panel wired in parallel.
