Connecting panels in parallel increases the string current while keeping the voltage unchanged. Supplied as a pair of one male and one female connector. Waterproof and suitable for outdoor installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eHow Parallel Connection Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen solar panels are connected in parallel, the positive cables are joined together and the negative cables are also joined together. This increases the current at the maximum power point (Imp) while keeping the voltage (Vmp) the same. For example: two identical panels each producing 8A at 18V will produce 16A at 18V when connected in parallel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhy Use Multi-Branch Connectors\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard MC4 cables cannot be connected positive to positive or negative to negative directly. These purpose-built branch connectors make the parallel connection correctly and safely, reducing cable runs from three positives to one and three negatives to one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x branch connector with 3 male inputs and 1 male output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x branch connector with 3 female inputs and 1 female output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 inputs, 1 output per connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as 1 male and 1 female pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMC4-compatible for use with standard solar PV cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof construction for outdoor installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreases string current while maintaining constant voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for off-grid, grid-tie, and hybrid solar systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation and Safety Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach input string must be protected by an individual string fuse rated for the string short-circuit current. These connectors do not provide overcurrent protection. DC solar circuits carry dangerous voltages. Do not connect or disconnect under load. All wiring must be carried out by a qualified electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Voltacon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460324901198,"sku":"SY-BM31","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/mc4-compatible-branch-connector-for-parallel-solar-panels-3-way-in-1-way-out-multibranch-549872.jpg?v=1747939801","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/solar-branch-connector-3-in-1-out-parallel-mc4-pair","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
