These are SM50-H photovolaic modules
I have a number of used Siemans solar panels they have two screw connectors positive + and two screws connectors negitive - on each panel. I want to hook up a few together in parallel. If I hook them positive to positive and negitive to negitive they wok ok . If I hook them from #1 negitive screw on #1 panel to #1 negitive screw on #2 panel and then from #2 screw on #2 panel to #1 screw on #3 panel then from #2 screw on #3 panel out to the regulator and batteries I only get 6 volts from all 3 panels and no or very little amps. Amps are what Im after. (same for positive) I know this sounds confusing but instead of having two wires on each positive and negitive poles. I want to use both screws on each positive and negitive poles( 10 guage wire is very hard to fix to one screw connector)
