Abstract:
A solar system, arranged in one or more sub-systems, consists of solar panels. The solar panels are configured into a plurality of solar panel strings, using interconnect wires, wherein a solar panel string comprises at least two of the solar panels electrically connected in a serial manner. The solar panels of a first of the solar panel strings are arranged between at least one of the solar panels of a second of the solar panel strings, and the interconnect wires, for each of the solar panel strings, form only a single path between the top and the bottom of the sub-system. This wiring configuration has application to house wires in a solar awning with limited space to house solar panel interconnect wires.
