    Understanding the relationship between volts (electrical "pressure") and amps (current flow) is crucial for designing efficient solar systems. For example, a 12V solar panel producing 5 amps delivers 60 watts of power (Volts × Amps = Watts).


    When pairing panels with batteries or controllers, mismatched voltages can lead to inefficiencies. For instance, a 36V panel connected to a 12V battery via a PWM controller may waste energy, while an MPPT controller optimizes this conversion, maximizing output.
