Two diodes in series on a solar photovoltaic panel

To understand the working mechanism behind blocking diodes, we will consider a simple example. Let’s suppose you need to charge a battery using two solar panels. For that, you will also need a charge controller, depending on the type of battery you have. Don’t forget that connecting a battery directly to the solar panels.
