Is a solar panel compatible with my power station?

For the panel, find open-circuit voltage (Voc), voltage and current at maximum power (Vmp and Imp), rated power and connector. For the station, find solar input voltage range, maximum current and power, and accepted connectors. Use the exact model and variant specifications.

If a station accepts 12–30 V input, a panel with 38 V Voc exceeds that illustrative maximum under its rated conditions. Do not connect it just because an adapter fits. Voltage can change with temperature. Follow manufacturer guidance and ask technical support when uncertain.

Putting panels in series changes voltage; parallel wiring changes available current. Either arrangement can exceed input limits even if one panel alone appears suitable. Use qualified help for a fixed installation. The panel selection guide starts from the full system.
