Connecting PV panels in series increases the voltage but amps remain the same, but in parallel connection, current and power output increase.

Enter your solar panel's voltage (Vmp), current (Imp), and the number of panels you're wiring together. Use this to match your inverter and battery requirements.

Whether in series or parallel, the panels' total power capacity does not change. However, choosing between series and parallel connections depends on the input parameters of your solar charge controller (MPPT), solar pump controller, or inverter combo.

Most residential and commercial solar installations don't use pure series or pure parallel — they use both.
