The total current is 6A - not 7. 5A average, not 9A, but 6A limited by the weaker panel. For parallel wiring, mixing different panels is more forgiving (different voltages cause some mismatch but less severe losses).
In this post, we'll learn how to size and connect solar panels step-by-step, arranging them in the right series-parallel combination and ensuring they operate safely and efficiently within the inverter's MPPT window - the heart of every well-designed solar system.
Solar inverters may have a minimum operating voltage, so wiring in series allows the system to reach that threshold. When wired in parallel, the amperage increases while the voltage stays the same, allowing you to produce the energy you need without exceeding the inverter's voltage.
When batteries are connected in parallel, the overall capacity and current output of the battery bank increase, while the voltage remains constant. Each additional battery contributes to the total energy storage, effectively extending backup time within the same voltage system.
To get there, use the following formulas; 1 Amp AC = 10 Amps DC. (example, 2AC amps =20DC amp) Add 10% (22 amps) DC amps x 12v = DC watts. (22 x12 =264 watts) 264 would be entered in field # 3.
In this guide, we will cover the steps you need to take to remove your solar panels, including how to disconnect them from the electrical system, how to safely remove the mounting hardware,.

Solar wire size means the thickness or cross-section of the wires used in photovoltaic (PV) systems. A smaller AWG number, such as 6 AWG, means the wire is thicker.
