right ?

I currently have several solar panels wired in parrellel...so the volts stays the same but the amps is higher, which results in higher wattage.
Whereas if you had wired them in series you'd have more volts but the current would have stayed the same. So the number of Watts you get when wiring them in series would be the same as the number of Watts you get by wiring them in parallel.
