Feeling lost in the jungle with solar panels, Ahki . gnubie Solar Wizard. Joined Sep 20, 2019 Messages 3,844. Jun 11, 2020 Lets try 3 in series and 3 in parallel using 9 panels. You drawing do not show the solar panels in series (to increase the volts), which is probably why you are getting such poor performance.

For panels wired in parallel: The maximum amps produced by the array is the sum of the Isc(A) of each panel. This is because in parallel connections, the amps of each panel add up, but the voltages do not.

If we have two solar panels with the same voltage but different wattage, there is no problem; they can be wired in parallel. On the other hand, if our two solar panels have both different wattage and different voltage, then parallel connection is not possible, since the panel with the lowest voltage would behave like a load, and would begin to absorb current instead of producing it, with the

On the other side, parallel solar panel connections involve linking all the positive terminals together and all the negative terminals together. This creates multiple paths for the electric current to flow. In a parallel configuration, the voltage remains the same as that of a single panel, but the current (measured in amps) is higher.

OK. your drawing only shows one battery so I will assume you are talking about series vs parallel solar panels (I originally thought you were talking about series vs parallel batteries). @Supervstech is correct that series panels will hit the ''turn-on'' voltage quicker than parallel. However, you show two series strings of 4 in parallel.

You repeat that for as many panels as you have and then connect the strings together in parallel. For example, if you had 6 panels with Vmpp= 22.5, Impp=5.75 and an MPPT with 60 volts and 20 amps max; then you might arrange your panels into three parallel strings of 2 panels in series.

The other benefit is during overcast or lower light conditions... lets say the voltage drops to somewhere 8-10 volts per panel as the sun disappears.. in parallel the voltage is still the 8-10 volts, not enough for anything useful as most* MPPT controllers require the input voltage to be above the batteries, but in series we double this to 16-20 volts..

Learn MoreIn order to connect solar panels in parallel, you will have to connect the positive (+) terminals of all the solar panels together and the negative (-) terminals together. The total voltage of the solar panel array will be the same as that of a single solar panel, while the current will be the sum of the currents of each solar panel.
When using identical solar panels, it's important your series strings be identical length. If they aren't, the voltages of the strings will be different. Generally, I recommend wiring solar panels in series first, then parallel. This limits the number of branch connectors needed and can reduce your wiring costs.
The following figure shows solar panels connected in parallel configuration. If the current IM1 is the maximum power point current of one module and IM2 is the maximum power point current of other module then the total current of the parallel-connected module will be IM1 + IM2.
Connecting PV modules in series and parallel are the two basic options, but you can also combine series and parallel wiring to create a hybrid solar panel array. Some solar panels have microinverters built-in, which impacts how you connect the modules together and to your balance of system. What Are They?
For identical solar panels wired in a series-parallel configuration, for each series string the voltages are summed and the current stays the same. Then, for each series string of identical length wired in parallel, the currents are added and the voltage stays the same.
When you connect solar panels in parallel, you connect the positive (+) terminals of all the solar panels together and the negative (-) terminals together. The total voltage of the array will be the same as that of a single solar panel, while the current will be the sum of the currents of each solar panel.
