Solar panels don’t always have the same voltage. They can be wired in various arrangements, such as parallel and series, to increase the voltage and current. For example, a 12V solar panel usually has a voltage of 17.0 Volts, but with a regulator, it can lower between 13 to 15 volts.
Maximum Power Voltage (Vmp): This is the voltage at which your panel operates most efficiently. If voltage is pressure, current (measured in amps) is the flow rate. Voltage is how steep the river is, while current is how much water flows past you each second. Some key points about current for solar panels:
When your panels have the same current but different voltage, you need to wire your panels in series. This is because the voltage gets added up, while the current stays the same. You can see this in the following diagram. When your panels have the same voltage but different current, you need to wire in parallel.
These are current and voltage. As previously mentioned, when we connect solar panels in series, the voltage gets added up. When we wire multiple solar panels in parallel, the current gets added up. Now, how can we use these characteristics to our advantage when we are mixing solar panels?
