Page 4: Parallel Solar Panel Connections
Planning & Starting The Installation Layout & Configuration 1. Figure out how many panels you will need, and the amount of panels you can actually fit on the space you will be installing them. 2. Measure how much wire you will need, by measuring where and how the wire will run to the charge controller than to the batteries. 3. -
Page 5: Serial Solar Panel Connections
Planning & Starting The Installation MPPT Charge Controller Serial & Parallel Connections This diagram shows two 37 Volt Solar Panels connected in series which increases the voltage to 74 Volts. The MPPT charge controller will match the battery voltage and convert the rest into Amperage allowing it to use up to 97 % of the solar panel power. -
Page 6: Inverter Connection Diagram
Inverter Connection Diagram Inverter Installation Diagram - Batteries fasten to inverter terminals using 3/8 connectors normally. (Terminal size is based on inverter & Battery Type) - Cable thickness is determined by Length Volts and Amperage. Good Practice to use 00AWG Wire no longer than 4 feet. 12 Volt Controller - Any wires/cables coming from battery power source need to have a protective fuse with the positive line. -
Page 7: Mounting Kit Installation
Mounting Kit Installation Solar Panel Mounting (12" Mounting kit installation example) Layout & Configuration - Install mounting on solar panel frame (12" mounting kit comes with Z-Bracket, nuts and bolts to fasten directly onto solar panel) - Find a spot that you can run down your cable easily (ventilation or drill a hole through the roof top) - Place solar panel as close to your wire drop down spot as you can. -
