How to connect a small solar panel

Mar 01, 2012 2 Replies

Maybe this is a very silly question to a lot of you, but I am doing this the first time. What are the steps in connecting a small solar panel ? There are two leads (+/-) like a battery, which will be connected to the appropriate connection points on my charge controller. Is there any other points to take care of ? Thanks in advance.

Point the panels where most of the sun comes from. But you knew that already didn't you?

Not sure how big your panel is or even if that is important.....

Instuctions on a controller I installed stated that it was imperative that the panel was fully covered & sunlight blocked while making the wiring connections to the controller.
