can i connect a series solar panel to a Parallel solar panel?
I’m trying to get more power or watts out of my system. Mabe someone has a diagram showing how to do that.All panels are 18 volt.
You cannot increase the power or watts. Power = Watts = amps x volts. You can increase the volts by wiring in series, or increase the amps by wiring in parallel, but the watts output by 2 panels, regardless of how they are wired, will not increase. See the example:
Two 180W panels, 18V 10A each.
Wired in Series = 36V x 10A = 360W. Wired in Parallel = 18V x 20A = 360W.
Wiring in parallel = the pluses are connected to each other and the minus are connected to each other.
Wiring in series = the plus from one is wired to the minus of the other.
