Connected Solar Panels

It stops working when the sun goes down.

Connected solar panels.

This means that the home will get electricity both from its solar panels and the electric grid. This power inverter converts the solar energy into energy that is consumable at home. The first way i am going to talk about is parallel because this is probably the most common way that panels will be connected. The connection of multiple solar panels in parallel arises from the need to reach certain current values at the output without changing the voltage.

For this example i am showing you connecting panels that are for a 12 volt system. This is important because solar energy is intermittent. Then they are connected to the charge controller or to the inverter of the solar system. Connecting solar panels in parallel wiring solar panels in parallel implies connecting positive terminals of each panel together and wiring the negative terminals of each panel together as well.

There are 3 ways to connect solar panels. Connecting solar panels to charge controller. Connect the solar panels either directly to a power inverter and then connect it to the home grid or connect the inverter to the battery and then to the home power grid. This is necessary because the current produced by the sun my vary depending on the intensity of the sunshine.

A charge controller is basically an appliance that regulates or stabilizes the voltage produced by the solar panel the direction of current and prevents overcharging.
