if i buy two panel will i need to by parts to connect them together to work?

I'm not sure; but if you do, they are common cheap PVC parts and you can pick them up at Lowe's or Home Depot.

i believe there is a kit that you can buy from them to link the two panels together, or you may be able to make shift something on your own pretty easily. the ends of the panel have a female threaded end that you could put a PVC connector into on each panel and a flexible of PVC pipe between them.

Yes, two of these could be connected together. However, you may need to be concerned about voltage drop due to the added resistance. You should determine what you current requirement (amps) will be, and if it it more than 0.25 A then I would be concerned.

The panels are not pre-connected. You will receive a total of 8 separate pieces. You will connect the smaller panels on top of the larger panels resulting in 4 pieces. You will then connect the 4 pieces together one by one to create one panel that you see in the picture. The included instructions provide good direction.

Yes, You Can Use As Few As 3 Panels. Please See My Review Of This Product As There Are "Cons".

Yes, the panels can be used independently from one another. If you mount them side by side or in separate places is totally up to your preference.

Yes you will need one in order for the USB 3.0 connection on the panel to plug into and to work.

Dear customer, you will need a branch connector if you want connect two panels in parallel.You can find the product here:http://www.amazon.com/Branch-Connectors-Connector-Solar-Panel/dp/B00BCWRB48/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1376241228&sr;=8-2&k;eywords=MC4+Branch+connectorYou will also a Adaptor cable from the MC4 branch connector/MC4 connector to the charge controller. The length is to be decided by you. Thanks.

This panel comes with MC4 connectors on the end. To use those connectors, you'll need these: http://amzn.com/B004N70DKI However, you could also just cut off the factory connections and wire it with whatever other connectors you want. The MC4 connectors are nice, but are also very expensive.

We purchased the 2 panel extension and used both but it IS possible to separate them and use only one panel.

Don't know about the panels, but you can't daisy-chain them as there's only the one USB output from it...

You would not be able to connect the panels directly to each other. You would need a post that each panel could connect to in order to form a corner

Yes, they recommend 3 panels at least, but you can use 4 or 5.....depending on the set-up you want.

Contact manufacture of your panels on what the output of both panels would be relative to your Volt/Amp requirements. It has been many years since I used Ohm's law! Good luck! (my connectors are still in the bag, as I had the same question,I received no response when I made my inquiry)

Not sure, I would suspect both panels would be fed from a common bus arrangement of some sort downstream from the meter base. Seems each panel would still would require protection for its own. Maybe some of the pro-electricians will have an answer. Good luck.

The power supply, plug, comes with the panel. You will have to buy 2 conductor wire (22 gauge?) and some wire strippers to create the wire from the panel to the plug. Be careful, this is 'DC' (direct current) power so make sure you wire it correctly or you will fry the panel

You need to put them in parallel Each panel added in parallel adds its amp rating to the system Each added in series adds its volt rating to the system For example two panels in parallel with 9 amp rating will make 18 amps and 18.5 mmp In series it produce double voltage but only 9 amps. Unless you use a mppt charge controller. Connecting these two panels in series will also work but you would be just as well off with only one panel

If you are connecting more than one panel together, you will need MC3 T-branch connectors (Male and Female) to join the cells in a parallel arrangement. The cables are sold separately. You will two cables. Each cell you combine in parallel will produce aprox. 5 amps per cell at full exposure.
