The solar panels are of voltage rating higher than the system voltage. You have two different higher voltage solar panels, i.e., one 100W/24V and one 200W/24V that you want to connect to the already working 12 V solar power system comprising the two 12V 50 W solar panels connected in parallel from the previous scenario (see the picture above).
Mixing solar panels of various voltage or wattage, or produced by different manufacturers, is a frequently asked question by most DIYers. Though mixing different solar panels is not recommended, it’s not forbidden and things would be ok as long as each panel’s electrical parameters (voltage, wattage, amps) are carefully considered.
Connecting solar panels in parallel is just the opposite of series connection and is used to increase the total output current of the array, and hence the total output power while keeping the same voltage. ‘The same voltage’ is the system voltage which for off-grid solar panels systems is usually as low as either 6V or 12V.
When you connect solar panels in series, the total output current of the solar array is the same as the current passing through a single panel, while the total output voltage is a sum of the voltage drops on each solar panel. The latter is only valid provided that the panels connected are of the same type and power rating.
Our photovoltaic systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
