Solar Panel Wiring vs Volts and Amps

In this video, we show you how the wiring configuration of a solar panel array affects its voltage and amperage — and why that matters for your system’s performance and safety. You’ll learn how wiring panels in series causes the volts to add up while the amps stay the same, and how wiring in parallel keeps the volts the same while the amps add up. We also touch on how to decide between series, parallel or a hybrid setup.
