Buying a solar kit: Avoid these common mistakes

A solar kit consists of key hardware, primarily solar panels, inverter, charge controller (if applicable) and battery. The most important benefit of a kit is that the components that have been put together are known to work together. A solar kit is a good way to implement a good solar PV project at an affordable pace

Wiring solar panels: Series or parallel?

Wiring solar panels: Series or parallel?

How you wire your panels impacts the performance of your system, and determines the choice of inverter and charge controller. First, let's remember that: W = V x A. The important difference between wiring panels in series or in parallel is that it affects the voltage and amperage of the resultant circuit. In a series circuit, you sum the voltage of each panel to get the overall voltage of the array. However, the amperage of the overall circuit stays the...
