Description: Looking to boost the solar power production of your van, campervan, or converted vehicle, but you don't have room for a second identical panel? In this video, we explain how to connect two solar panels of different power outputs without losing efficiency!

Warning: an incorrect panel combination can reduce your yield to as low as 60%! Through real-world case studies, you'll understand the mistakes to avoid and how to choose the right type of connection: series or parallel, depending on the voltage and current of each panel.

We also show you how to:
Calculate the actual efficiency of your installation after modification.

Optimize your connections to maintain good efficiency.
Choose a supplementary panel based on your space constraints.
