Chapter 6 REVIEW Series and Parallel Connections with Modules

Question 1

Series connections

Answer 1

Series connections are made between the positive wire of one module and the negative wire of anothers, voltage is additive while current remains the same.

Question 2

Parallel connections

Answer 2

Parallel connections are made between wires with the same polarity (positive or negative), which causes current to be additive while voltage remain the same.

Question 3

PV output circuits

Answer 3

PV output circuits are formed when PV source circuit conductors are combined in parallel; typically they run between a combiner box and an inverter or charge controller.

Question 4

PV source circuits

Answer 4

PV source circuits are one or more modules wired in series; the number of modules depends on the required voltage.

Question 5

Homeruns

Answer 5

Homeruns are the conductors from the positive and negative leads of a PV source circuit.
