    Dc to ac converters.

    How does this affect watts

    So, I've hooked my 6 solar panels in series, which will make the volts add up. Volts times 6. If I change this to having 2 sets of 3 panels in series, the calculation would be 3 times volts with the amps times 2. Connecting the two sets of three together in parallel. The two sets (series) will...
