If you connect the solar panel to a charge controller first, it may not initialize correctly. After you've connected the charge controller to the battery, it is now safe to connect it to the panels. Out of the junction box of a panel come two cables, a positive and a negative.
For a parallel connection, you need a combiner box. You’ll have to separately string your panels’ positive and negative to the combiner box’s positive and negative, from where connections to the charge controller and inverter will also follow. The output wires on the battery section of the charge controller should lead to the batteries.
Connect Cables to the Solar Panel: Connect appropriate cables with MC4 connectors to your solar panel’s positive and negative terminals. Connect the Positive Cable to the Charge Controller: Strip the free ends of the cables connected to the solar panel.
If your panels don’t have connectors, you can attach them manually. Connect the Panels With Fuses: Place the solar panel face-down on a cushioned surface to avoid scratches and easily access the cables. Then, locate the positive solar cable on your panel, marked by a plus sign or a male MC4 connector with a red rubber ring.
To wire a solar charge controller, firstly, connect the battery to the controller, ensuring the positive and negative terminals are correctly matched. Next, connect the solar panel to the controller, again matching the terminals correctly. Always make sure everything is safely disconnected from power sources while working.
If you have several solar panels, like on the diagram, the positive cable of one panel usually goes to the negative terminal of the adjacent one. Then, the negative cable of the first panel and the positive cable of the last panel go into the charge controller.
