View ArticleIs a blocking diode needed when wiring solar panels in parallel?
I have seen several variations of adding extra solar panels to the 5in1 to deal with morning, and evening spikes. Some use a blocking diode on the positive lead, and others just tie them into the...
View ArticleRe: Is a blocking diode needed when wiring solar panels in parallel?
No more diodes are needed. There should already be a series diode in the circuit between the battery and the solar panel. Just wire your added solar panel across the existing panel. Doubling the...

Thank you for the reply. There is no battery involved. the panels feed into a pc board that adjust the output to 1.5 volts which is feed directly to the motor of the aspiration fan which is rated for...

View ArticleRe: Is a blocking diode needed when wiring solar panels in parallel?
Ya, they seem to get the job done. They are very easy to dissemble as well. I put a meter on the solar panel, and they put off about 3.4 volts in full sunlight. They have a little 1.2 volt 150 mAh...
