In this comprehensive tutorial, we guide you through the process of installing solar panels using readily available materials like unistrut from Home Depot. Learn how to securely mount solar panels and select the appropriate hardware for your setup. We also delve into the intricacies of wiring eight solar panels into two arrays using series wiring to optimize wattage output while managing voltage and amperage. Additionally, we demonstrate how to connect the arrays to a fused combiner box to ensure safety and efficiency. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned DIY enthusiast, this video provides valuable insights and practical tips for harnessing solar energy effectively.
One of the most important steps in building and designing a solar panel power system is to not overload the charge controllers.
In this video we show you how to avoid do that with wiring the panels in series.
(Once wired in series they are now called solar panel arrays.)
Then using the combiner boxes to hook up the groups of panels that are wired in series now hook them up into a parallel setup.
Wiring in series adds the wattages of the panels up and the voltages of the panels up.
Wiring the solar panel arrays in parallel within the combiner boxes
keeps the voltages the same but increases the wattage.
Example: If you have 8 solar panels that are 440 watts and 50 volts.
You wire them into 2 arrays.
4 in series (positive to negative, then positive to negative...)
you now have 2 arrays that equal 1760 watts and 200 volts each.
Now wire the 2 arrays into a combiner box and you should end up with 3520 watts and 200 volts.
These are the numbers you want to make sure are not greater then what your charge controllers can handle...
