Solar panel strings: Parallel & Series explained
When solar panels are hooked up in series you connect the minus of one panel to the plus of the next panel. The voltages are summed, but the current remains the same:

Parallel Connected Solar Panels For Increased Current
Wiring PV panels together in series and then the series-strings in parallel with other strings increases both the maximum voltage and the maximum current rating of the photovoltaic array.

wiring different voltage panels in parallel
I made a series of demo videos showing what happens when you wire mismatched solar panels in various configurations. I''m now trying to explain the "why" behind what we saw. I thought

What conditions make it ok to have uneven strings of paralleled panels
Strings in parallel need to have their Vmp close to each other but can have different Imp. The string with higher Vmp will run at the lower Vmp generating less power to the ratio of the 2 Vmp.

Two Photovoltaic Panels with Same Voltage but Different Current: Key
That''s exactly what happens when photovoltaic panels share voltage ratings but differ in current output. While voltage represents the "push" of electricity, current determines the actual energy flow.

How Solar Strings Work: Series vs. Parallel
The current flowing through the circuit remains the same as the current of a single panel. For example, ten panels producing 40 volts and 10 amps each would combine to produce 400 volts
