    Connection of panels in parallel

    Hi I am new to solar panels I have bought my frist solar panel an year ago. It is 6V 3.5W solar panel with usb cable attached to it. It really works and it is really nice panel. But now I have bought two more and I would like to connect them to have big triple panel I have read about connecting panels. And I know I would like to connect them in parallel. So the voltage will remain 6V but the mAH will be higher. But I am confused. This panel has leads from the other side like you see in foto. And there is many of them. The usb cable on the one panel is connected in the midle. So I have thought about connection like I have in the pictures attached. Like it´s logical to me. Will it be right? If somebody has the same panels connected in parallel could you send me picture with the connected panels? This option will be the best because I could see it. Thanks.

    Either way of connecting them in parallel should work. There is a chance that by putting two more panels in parallel you will risk overdriving the USB output circuit if you put a heavy 5V load on it.
