Upgrade Smarter: Match Batteries, Inverters, and
Learn how to perfectly match batteries, inverters, and panel specs for peak efficiency and lasting energy independence. Get the
For the best results, use identical solar panels across the array. If you have to mix panels, try to closely match their wattages, voltages, and currents. Minimize or eliminate power loss with mixed solar panels by matching each panel's electrical characteristics and using the optimum configuration.
Mixing different solar panels is not usually recommended because there will usually be some loss in how much solar-generated power they can produce. However, by closely matching the electrical characteristics of each panel and using the most optimum configuration for your mismatched panels, you can minimize or even eliminate those losses.
Adhering to solar panel orientation guidelines can maximize sunlight exposure and energy production. The choice depends on: Available Roof Space: The amount of space available on each side of the roof. Energy Needs: Balancing energy production throughout the day if peak usage occurs in the morning or evening.
Wiring mismatched solar panels in series can provide a high enough voltage to charge the batteries from dawn to dusk. For the best results, use identical solar panels across the array. If you have to mix panels, try to closely match their wattages, voltages, and currents.
