Connect each panel in series to increase total voltage while maintaining consistent amperage across the assembly. Ensure all junctions are tightened to prevent voltage drops and heat buildup. Label positive and negative terminals clearly to avoid reverse connections that can damage.

To measure the short circuit current (Isc) of a solar panel, you connect a multimeter set to DC amps directly across the panel's positive and negative terminals while the panel is in full sunlight.
