An array is a group of solar-thermal panels or photovoltaic (PV) modules. The panels can be connected either in parallel or series depending upon the design objective.
(For example: When you hook up three 12 volt, 2 amp panels in series you get 36 volts at 2 amps. when you hook up three 12 volt, 2 amp panles in parallel you get 12 volts at 6 amps.)
volts x amps equals watts too so, if you have a 12 volt panel rated at 2 amp then that would be a 24 watt panel.
You can think of each panel as a sort of battery, only they don't store electricity, they only generate it when light hits them. A great many innovations have been introduced since I sold these at my dad's electronics company back in the 70's and 80's. They're more powerful and and more reliable than ever before.
I thought I would offer a few of these to our audience as back up power modules and emergency power for power outages and remote sites.
