Connecting 360v Solar Panels

The following wiring diagram shows that the two 12v 10a 120w solar panels connected in parallel will charge the two 12v 100ah parallel connected batteries as well as power up the ac load through batteries and inverter during the day in normal sunshine.

Connecting 360v solar panels.

Connecting solar panels in series. Never connect a solar panel directly to a battery. This is important because a solar power system needs to operate at a. The video will go over the basic installation and can apply directl.

This is the first part of our video on how to connect your panels in series and parallel. 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. It needs a regulator between the panel and the battery. Connecting solar panels in parallel is just the opposite of series connection and is used to increase the total output current of the array and hence the total output power while keeping the same voltage.

During shading night when there is no generating power from solar panels the battery stored energy will be used as a backup power and it. The regulator regulates funny that the voltage from the solar panel and protects the battery from over voltage. The same voltage is the system voltage which for off grid solar panels systems is usually as low as either 6v or 12v. So if you connect two solar panels with a rated voltage of 40 volts and a rated amperage of 5 amps in series the voltage of the series would be 80 volts while the amperage would remain at 5 amps.

The regulator will either be mounted on the back of the solar panel or within a battery management system bms.
