Translations:Series and parallel connections/32/en

It is typical for an off-grid PV system to use a combination of parallel and series connections to be able to be able to match the design requirements of the system with the available equipment. Equipment for use with off-grid PV systems is only available in a few specific nominal voltage ratings (12V, 24V, 48V), specific maximum voltage ratings, and specific maximum current ratings. A combination of these different connection types allow system designs to choose the voltage and combination of components that will offer the best performance at the lowest price. See Special:MyLanguage/DC system voltage for more information about choosing the ideal voltage for a particular system.
