Panel Wiring - Series vs Parallel vs Series-Parallel
Wiring your panels correctly is key to getting the highest efficiency in your unique situation.
You can wire panels in parallel (connecting all positive wires together, and all negative wires
together) or series (connecting the positive wire of one panel to the negative wire of the next).
Another wiring method is series-parallel, which involves a single series string of multiple iden-
tical parallel strings. Because the Kodiak X2 has a 24V internal battery, parallel solar panel
wiring configurations with 12V solar panels will charge the battery, but may be slower and
underperform. 12V solar panels wired in a series (under 65 VOC) or a series-parallel configura-
tion will provide optimal charging performance. See the diagram below for how to wire 4 solar
panels in a series-parallel configuration.
