12V is the most common solar panel wiring connection with batteries. Generally, to achieve the 12VDC to 120/230VAC system, both PV panels and batteries are connected in parallel.
In parallel connection, similar terminals of two solar panels or batteries are connected by jumper wires. For example, two 6V (or 12 or 24V) 150W, 12.5A solar panels and 12V, 100Ah batteries connected in parallel would have the following quantities: 100Ah + 100Ah = 200Ah. The voltage for solar panels and batteries remains the same in parallel connection.
When you connect your solar panels directly to your battery, you will damage the battery (lead-acid or lithium). You need a device that measures the state of charge of your battery and charges it accordingly, just like a car battery charger. The device we are going to use is called a charge controller.
It is vital to hook up the battery to the charge regulator first. From there, you can link the solar panels. Keep in mind that if you execute the tasks in the wrong order, it might cause damage to the charge regulator. Link the negative battery cable to the “-” battery terminal of your charge regulator.
A 12V solar panel can be connected to a 100Ah battery using series-parallel combination. Four 12V solar panels are connected in series to increase the voltage to the battery's required voltage level. The batteries are then connected in parallel to increase the total capacity. The PV panels are connected to the batteries and DC load through a charge controller, while the 120V or 230V AC load is connected through an inverter.
