Series Connections are just plug and play with the male and female solar connectors
Parallel connections will utilize solar Y branch connectors for centralizing all positive and all
negative connections.
Bypass Diodes
The junction boxes used with the Renogy modules contain bypass diodes that are wired in
parallel with the PV string cells. In the event the modules experience partial shading, the
diodes are activated to bypass the current generated by the non-shaded cells, therefore
limiting module heating and performance losses. However, they do not protect the panel from
over-current. Over-current protection devices must be used when connecting more than 2
modules in series.
If the bypass diodes are suspected of failure, installers or maintenance personnel should
contact the company (Renogy).
