How do i wire solar panels to charge controller.

An inverter is connected to the battery. As you see in the connection diagram at first the solar panel is connected to the solar charge controller and then a 24v battery is connected to the charge controller. See the following image for reference. I purchased two et 185w solar panels a few weeks back and it did not include any instructions on how to properly wire the panels together or to another source.

The output of the inverter is connected to ac loads like fans lights tv etc. Connect the solar battery. From here you can wire it directly to the inverter or to a busbar. Charge controller to battery and loads.

Solar power system wiring steps. Calculate the wire size you need for this from a determination of the output current and the length of wire you need keeping in mind the charge controller should be located near the batteries. Dc wire with gauges from 16 to 10 are typical for this. When solar panels are wired in series the voltage of the panels adds together but the amperage remains the same.

I am planning on using these panels to power a submersible pump and the panels will be be connected to a charge controller. Connect the outgoing leads from the panels to a charge controller. Solar panels are wired in series when you connect the positive terminal of one panel to the negative terminal of another. If you have a device that can draw a lot of amps like an inverter or battery charger you need to attach the wires directly to the battery terminals.
