When two or more solar cells are connected in series then it is called a series combination of solar cells. The connection of solar cells in series can be done by connecting the +Ve terminal of the panel to the –Ve terminal of the second panel.
When two or more solar cells are connected in parallel then it is called a parallel combination of solar cells. The connection of solar cells in parallel can be done by connecting all the +Ve terminals of the panels jointly whereas all the –Ve terminals of the panels jointly.
The connection of solar cells in series can be done by connecting the +Ve terminal of the panel to the –Ve terminal of the second panel. In this connection, the output current of the solar cells is the same but their i/p voltage becomes twice.
Solar panel series-parallel connection is a method of linking solar panels together to meet specific current and voltage requirements, in order to more efficiently harness solar energy and convert it into electricity.

The connection of solar cells in parallel can be done by connecting all the +Ve terminals of the panels jointly whereas all the –Ve terminals of the panels jointly. In this parallel connection, the output current of the solar cells is twice but their i/p voltage is the same.
In large PV plants first, the modules are connected in series known as “PV module string” to obtain the required voltage level. Then many such strings are connected in parallel to obtain the required current level for the system. The following figures shows the connection of modules in series and parallel.
Series Combination of PV Cells. When two or more solar cells are connected in series then it is called a series combination of solar cells. The connection of solar cells in series can be done by connecting the +Ve terminal of the panel to the …
