Should You Wire Go Power Solar Panels In Parallel Or Series
Updated 08/06/2021 | Published 08/05/2021
Question:
I have the same system, but watched videos on YouTube from BTBRV and NRVTA. Where they installed the system on JDs RV, but in there video they said they wired the solar panels in series when the go power Manual clear shows them in parallel. Who is correct? Because a pwm solar controller normally requires a parallel connection and three panels in series would exceed the max voltage of the pwm controller. I commented on both their videos but never got a response.

Expert Reply:
Systems with a 30 amp solar charge controller or lower are run parallel while systems with a higher amp solar charge controller can be run in series or series parallel. The Go Power Solar Extreme Charging System - 570 Watt Solar Panels - 3,000 Watt Inverter Charger Item # 34282185 you linked to has a 30 amp solar charge controller so it will be3 wired in parallel.
