Solar Panels: Wiring Configurations: Series, Parallel, and Series-Parallel. (Refer to the examples below for clarification)

Solar Controller (PWM or MPPT): Connect the panels to the controller using the positive and negative MC4 connectors. When wiring in Parallel or Series-Parallel, use fuses for each positive cable.

Battery Bank: Controller output connects to a battery or batteries. Use fuses between the battery and controller.

Power Inverter: Connect the power inverter to the battery terminals to run 120V AC.

Portable Power Station Setup

You can choose a portable power station as an alternative to a solar controller and power inverter. Typically, the MPPT is integrated, making it easier to plug in and use with minimal wiring.

PWM (Pulse Width Modulation):Use when the solar voltage is close to the battery voltage. Can handle up to 400W.

MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking): Use when the solar voltage is higher then the battery. Can handle over 400W.
