4 sections • 7 lectures • 51m total length

Introduction: Contents0:49
Explore solar panels, focusing on calculations and installations in series and parallel, covering frame installs, power and voltage calculations, and combining series and parallel configurations.

3.1 Power calculation7:31
Learn how solar panels in series increase voltage while current stays the same, and how power adds when panels are combined, with a focus on DC voltage, loads, and regulation.
3.2 Solar panel: panels in series15:26
Learn how connecting solar panels in series increases voltage while keeping current constant, and how total power adds across panels, with practical calculations and MPPT charger considerations.
3.3 Solar panel: panels in parallel6:36
Connect solar panels in parallel to keep the same voltage while the current adds, boosting total power; positives join together and negatives join together.
3.4 Solar panel: panels in parallel and series5:17
Connect solar panels in series and parallel to control voltage, current, and power; two in series and three in parallel produce 60 v, 30 a, and 1800 w to mppt.

The content in this course aims to teach you the meaning of installing solar panels in series and parallel.

Is there a maximum amount of power we can install depending on the solar box (charger and inverter) that we have or choose?

The above are some of the questions that you will be able to answer after taking this brief course.

The course is complementary to other courses we offer, including:

Practical course on Photovoltaic Solar Power

The above teaches you about solar systems with a focus on off-grid solar systems. These are those systems that do not depend on the grid. They used solar equipment and batteries only.

A practical course on solar energy: Grid-tied systems

The above teaches you about solar systems with a focus on grid-tied solar systems. There are those systems that use solar energy when available and the grid when solar energy is not available.

The content of this course is divided into three sections:

1. Solar energy and the solar panel

2. Installation (how to put panels on a frame: example)

3. Calculations: series and parallel

3.1 Power calculation

3.2 Panels in series

3.2 panels in parallel

3.3 Solar panels: panels series and parallel
