Solar Panel Voltage Current
On solar panels, How is the electricity routed from all the different cells to a single current?
How is the electricity from each individual cell routed into a single current?
I understand things like voltage, current, etc. I’m a physics major and taken physics 1 and 2, so far.
They are probably wired in a configuration of series and parallel in such a manner to provide 12 to 14 Volts. Any DC electric appliance or device would require 12 Volts, so that would have to be the output of the circuit. If it is to be charging battery banks, it would again have to be wired in a configuration to provide 12 to 14 Volts.
You need to find out the voltage output of each panel. You would then place the number of panels necessary in series to provide a 12 Volt output. The rest would be placed in parallel.
You sound like a smart physics major — you probably are able to figure the number of panels in series needed. A few links are below that may help.
