Typically solar panels of specific or matching current needs to be connected with each other in series.
Connecting solar panels in parallel and series.
Connecting your solar panel in series vs parallel affects current flow and is dictated by your installation s setup.
Connecting solar panels in parallel.
Should you connect a 3a solar panel to a 3 5a solar panel the all round current will probably be pulled down to 3a.
The series connection is done by wiring the positive terminal of each panel to the negative terminal of the next panel a connection similar to the ones of the christmas lights until the final panel is connected to the charge controller or inverter.
The capacity of a solar panel to produce energy is measured in watts which is calculated by multiplying a solar panel s voltage by the amps of current it produces when a solar installer builds a solar energy system they need to find the right balance of voltage and amps to ensure that the system performs well.
