SOLAR PANEL DIY WIRING CONFIGURATIONS SOLAR POWER DIY GET OFF THE GRID 2 PV PHOTOVOLTAIC
By Solar Expert
WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY FOR DIAGRAMS This is a simple explanation of “Series” and “Parallel” configurations for solar panels and DC batteries.
Video Rating: 4 / 5



Hey EXPERT, it’s called series and parallel, not “positive and negative configuration” and “all the positive to one terminal and all the negative to the other.”
Dear Brother,
I have seen you video, and really appreciate for this. I will be very much obliged to you, if you kindly help me to know – what do I need for 1(one) Kw system for my house. Kindly note I am living in Karachi, Pakistan.
Waiting for your kind reply please.
Kind regards.
Your faithfully,

Perhaps my book “small scale solar energy systems” (lulu website, nr 10542952) can help you to solve this problem. Dont tie the positives and negatives together.
@samcamfilms Hope you got that right DO NOT TIE THE BLACKS WITH THE REDS KEEP THEM SEPARATE.
@samcamfilms Tie the positives and negatives (usually Red pos black neg) together from each panel. You want to make a parallel circuit to increase the amps keep voltage the same. Series circuits increase voltage amps stay the same. This is basic electronics 101…Google series circuit and parallel circuit…you want parallel.
Hi guys check out my offgrid workshop which runs on solar panels and a generator.
Dan, thanks, both you and your wife for placing these videos on the web. I really appreciate them and learn quite a lot. Thank you again so much!
will this battery work well, XS Power D3100
with some solar paners?
Awesome Video, I have 12v 120 Watt Panel and a 12v 80 watt panel, what do i need to do to have a total output of 12v into my solar controller? not sure on the wireing there..
Excellent method.
I noticed how you said that it’s not good to directly connect a higher voltage pv module to a lower voltage motor… How would you get max current from a pv module without raising the voltage? How would u connect a pair of modules with a total of 34 volts/ .54a max(12-17v each) to a motor that runs 6-12v/.5a??
@mr00engineer I just recently got into solar power, so I may be incorrect. I don’t have my battery yet, so I haven’t tested this. My solar charge controller needs a minimum of 13 volts to charge the battery. If your panel puts out 18-20 volts in good sun, then it should put out 13 volts in marginal sun. I am not sure if there is any other good reason for 18 volts. From what I have seen, 12 volt panels will go up to 21 or 22 volts in full sun. My charge controller will take up to 22 volts.
thanks for sharing
Thank you i made my rc car solar powerd and the voltege is a little under this well help me alote thumbs up.
@GREENPOWERSCIENCE Thanks for your valuable informations ,but why 18v is the goal for charging 12v?

Can you mix series and parallel wiring if you need to increase both voltage and amps?
Can you mix series and parallel wiring?
like this video. See my home energy stuff using Rooftop Wind Turbines and solar panels on my roof. I won a Green Design Contest with my product on EarthDay

************ Very Important Safety *************
But Until Now Most of the Inverter Around the World Still Can’t Pass The RCD Most Inverter Are Problem With RCD Safety .I Have an Experiment For About 12 Years Already until Today About 16 Inverter Experiment Most Of Them Are Not Pass Home RCD ???? It Was Unsafe.
