hi
i have made 4 panels of 36 cells each. The cells are 6x6inch, Qcells. The cells in the panel are connected in series (connecting + to - and - to +). All four panels are connected in parallel (connecting + to + and - to -).
The solar controller is morningstar tristar 45amp pwm type.
When I checked, each panel is only generating about 0.5 to 0.7amp. The voltage generated is showing 18 volt, which is correct 36cells * 0.5 volt each. The cells are 6 by 6. I was expecting at least 5 amp each totalling to 20 amp (5amp*4panels) under good sun.
I don't have the cell specs because I bought it off the kijiji.
Is my method of connections correct? any help would be appreciated.
