Question on wiring two small solar panels in Parallel

[BAJ475]

Wiring them in parallel is not a problem. Since you don't plan to have both angled into the sun at the same time you probably wont have to worry about the max input capacity of the solar charge controller (if you plan to use one) or the pump motor if they are wired directly to it.

Solar charge controllers are use to protect batteries and I doubt that there are any in his solar powered pump.

The cable you show might be a coax type cable rather than two clean strands. There might be a center core and an outer conductor weave or foil. You can't know until you cut.

Never the less you can still work with that co-ax type if you want to cut them up and solder them together, but you might also consider just making a parallel harness that they can plug into.

Looks like standard low voltage wiring to me, which is not coax.

I'd probably Yolo it and cut / solder them up onto a single plug.

I don't know if solar panels in parallel can steal power from one another if one is shaded and one is not, I have never tested that. If so you may need a diode or two (but the panels may already have such a diode or similar circuit)

Usually they do but if not they would be needed where one panel is in the shade and the other is not.

Just face the panels to the southern sky. No need to angle them east and west.
