Can I hook up a series of panels to a home power circuit?

[SunRay]

Just curious if I can connect about 15 or 20 low voltage, 1 inch by 1 inch solar panels directly to a home 120V power circuit without any inverters or extra equipment?

Absolutely not! You have to have special kind of equipment to make any hook up to the electrical system. Solar panels are direct current (DC) and your electrical service is alternating current (AC). You need inverters and phase matching equipment to attempt these kinds of connections.

For a solar panels system to work correctly you'll need batteries for storing the power, wiring to handle the systems amps, phase converters, inverters, and high wattage solar panels to make your system worth while.

you should seek an electrician before you blow something up

As stated above, this is not possible unless your house was some type of off-grid dc electrical system.
