- In the case of DC circuits, a way of joining two or more electrical devices or wires by connecting positive leads and negative leads together.

Connecting positive terminals to positive terminals in an electrical circuit. Solar panels connected in parallel will sum their currents, while voltage will stay the same.

The connection together of, two or more, similar cells to form a battery of higher capacity by connecting together all the cell terminals of the same polarity.

Definition:In a parallel connection, the voltage is the same at each resistor. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance values (i.e. the smaller the resistance, the greater the current that flows through it).

 The arrangement of cells in a battery made by connecting all positive terminals together and all negative terminals together, the voltage of the group being only that of one cell and the current drain through the battery being divided among the several cells. See Series Connection.

A way of joining two or more electricity-producing devices (i.e., PV cells or modules) by connecting positive leads together and negative leads together; such a configuration increases the current.
