This is wild, never thought adding a panel would hurt the efficiency of the system. Thank you for info!
-
Thank you for posting a educational video.
-
Been watching tons of solar videos so far but no one told me this. Thank you.
-
Although I have a good grasp off this topic Your explanations are far and above the easiest too follow on the Internet Very good explanation 👏
-
Your video helped me immensely. Thank you so much
-
Running through your content. I know how much time it takes to put this stuff together so appreciate the explanations
-
Bro thank u soooo much that helped me so much. im working on a 12v system rn i can double it to make 24 but I'm not quite there and all the different Configurations is absolutely what I have been searching for 4 like the last 5 to 10 days. Tully thank u.
-
Thank you for showing the effects of different serial & parallel configurations, very helpful!
-
I understood before that wiring dissimilar capacity panels would impact array output but never understood why, or how to design around that constraint. This explanation is very clear and simple, and may show me how to address a problem I’m working on now to upgrade my current installation. THANKS!!
-
Excellent. Content that isn't other available on YouTube! Congrats.
-
Thanks you for bringing this information to our memory.
-
Thank you for your time I learned a lot
-
Very infirmative and educative explanation with great presentation ,Thank you, all the best.
-
Excellent video. Clear explanation about solar wiring.series,parallel,series-parallel of different solar panels Thanks Sir.watching from Philippines
-
Sir ,You had very good knowledge of circuits. 👌👌👌👌

Hello, great to hear you're enjoying the videos! One question, can I use a set of 4 panels of 330W (2 in parallel) and add (2 in parallel) 4 panels of 550W, all in pairs, then in series, and connect them in a combiner box? I don't want to discard the old panels.
-
Well illustrated and explained, thanks
-
Thank you you made it very easy to understand solar
-
Awesome video, sir. Well done 👏

Thanks for this information. I’ve always been told that you can’t use a 100w & 50w in parallel. Not so if the voltage is the same. I had to try it for my self. Connected both panels. One 21.8v and 20.0v. Works great.
