What does it mean to wire solar panels in series.
How to wire 2 solar panels in series.
If we have two or more solar panels with the same voltage but with different current it is not possible to wire them in series.
Moreover you can power up the dc load directly connected to the dc output terminals in the solar charge controller.
The parallel connection allows to increase the current keeping the same voltage.
When you wire in series there is just a single wire leading from the roof for each string.

Stringing solar panels in series involves connecting each panel to the next in a line as illustrated in the left side of the diagram above.
Wiring solar panels in series.
Nonetheless it is possible to wire them in parallel.
When a solar installer wires your solar panels in a series each panel is connected to the next in a string the total voltage of each solar panel is summed together but the amps of electrical current stay the same.
One positive and one negative.
When you connect two or more solar panels like this it becomes a pv source circuit.
When you connect the positive terminal of one panel to the negative terminal of another panel you create a series connection.
To wire two or more solar panels and batteries in series simply connect the positive terminal of solar panel or battery to the negative terminal of solar panel or battery and vise versa respectively as shown in the fig below.
