Solar Panel Wiring

a.

Depending on your power needs and installation type, you have two kinds of solar charge
controllers available.

Solar Charge Controller

Amp

Output Voltage

Part Number

Pulse width modulation

30A

12/24VDC

709-3024-01

Maximum power point tracking

30A

12/24VDC

710-3024-01

b.

Solar panels can be configured in series, parallel, or a combination of both series and parallel.

Figure 5 Cable schematic for series

Pos (+) of first panel connects to Neg (-) of next panel and so on and terminating with the Pos (+)
of the solar charge controller.

Neg (-) of first panel extends to Neg (-) terminal of the solar charge controller.

Optimized for MPPT solar charger.
