How to Connect Your Solar Panels in Series and Parallel
Apr 20th 2023
These videos show how to connect two 100 watt solar panels in parallel and series using MC4 branch connectors. For a parallel connection, connect positive leads with one adapter and negative leads with another adapter, and then connect to the adapter kit. For a series connection, connect the negative lead from one panel with the positive lead from the other, and then connect the remaining positive and negative leads to the adapter kit. A parallel connection maintains a 12-volt system, while a series connection creates a 24-volt system. These can be connected to a 12-volt or 24-volt battery bank, respectively, using a PWM charge controller.
