Comparing solar panels in series vs.
Connecting solar panels in parallel and series.
Should you connect a 3a solar panel to a 3 5a solar panel the all round current will probably be pulled down to 3a.
Connecting your solar panel in series vs parallel affects current flow and is dictated by your installation s setup.
The series connection is done by wiring the positive terminal of each panel to the negative terminal of the next panel a connection similar to the ones of the christmas lights until the final panel is connected to the charge controller or inverter.
Typically solar panels of specific or matching current needs to be connected with each other in series.
This kind of a lowering of current would of course cause a loss of power output and eventually loss in equipment efficiency.
