Solar Power Project: Part 1, The Batteries…

Posted on 17/02/201308/03/2023 by Phil

Introduction

When choosing to have solar Panels  you can either plug the 12 volt ends in to your 12 volt application and have it run while the sun is out or, direct the power in to a battery bank, for using at a later date.

There are 3 main ways to connect your batteries Series, Parallel, and Series+ Parallel

Series

Connecting your batteries together in series, IE connect the + to the – and then the remaining open ends to your application/inverter. this will increase the voltage coming from the battery but keep the AMPs the same.

Series

Parallel

connect all the + and all the – up and connect these to your application or inverter. This will increase the AMPs and keep the voltage the same

Parallel

Series Parallel

Connect 2 sets of 2 batteries in parallel and then connect the + from one in to the – of another, connect the remaining – and + to your application. This will increase both AMPs and VOLTs.

Series-Parallel
