Abstract

Solar panel systems having solar panels arranged in parallel, and associated methods are disclosed. Systems in accordance with particular embodiments include an inverter (e.g., a DC/AC inverter), and a plurality of solar panels electrically connected to the inverter. The plurality of solar panels can be connected in parallel, with individual solar panels not connected to an intermediate transformer between the panels and the inverter.
