Connecting panels in parallel increases the string current while maintaining voltage. Supplied as a pair of one male and one female connector. MC4-compatible, UV-resistant, and weatherproof for outdoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen two identical solar panels are connected in parallel, the positive cables are joined and the negative cables are also joined. This configuration increases the current at the maximum power point (Imp) while keeping the voltage (Vmp) the same. For example: if one panel outputs 8A at 18V, two panels in parallel will produce 16A at 18V.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhy Use a Multibranch Connector\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a safe and correct polarity parallel connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces the number of cables from two positives and two negatives to one positive and one negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates the risk of reverse polarity misconnection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMC4-compatible for universal use with standard solar PV modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV-resistant, weatherproof, and built for long-term outdoor installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x male multibranch connector: 2 male inputs, 1 male output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x female multibranch connector: 2 female inputs, 1 female output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallel wiring of two solar panels in off-grid, grid-tied, and hybrid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidential and commercial PV string configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation and Safety Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit an appropriate string fuse on each input before connecting to the branch connector.
