FAQS 4

Why do solar panels need to be connected in parallel?

The connection of multiple solar panels in parallel arises from the need to reach certain current values at the output, without changing the voltage. In fact, by wiring several solar panels in series we increase the voltage (keeping the same current), while wiring them in parallel we increase the current (keeping the same voltage).

Can solar panels be wired in parallel?

No, it’s not advised to wire solar panels with different current in series. They should be wired in parallel if they have different current. Can you put solar panels of different voltage in parallel?

What is the effect of parallel wiring in photovoltaic solar panels?

Thus the effect of parallel wiring is that the voltage stays the same while the amperage adds up. Photovoltaic solar panels generate a current when exposed to sunlight (irradiance) and we can increase the current output of an array by connecting the pv panels in parallel.

Why do I need to wire my solar panels in series?

When your panels have the same current but different voltage, you need to wire your panels in series. This is because the voltage gets added up, while the current stays the same. You can see this in the following diagram. When your panels have the same voltage but different current, you need to wire in parallel.
