I can't work out how to do the two circuits on one board with the connections that you can add and remove. So I've made two separate boards.

Parallel windmill pcb is an open-source printed circuit board by Tactile-electronics, from the Tactile-electronics/windmill-electronics repository on GitHub, published under the CC0-1.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board with 6 parts on 5 nets.
Its parts include 2 capacitors and 2 diodes.

I wanted you to have alook before I wire it up on Kicad as at the moment I'm not sure if I've got it right and some connections seem wrong
e.g the connections out of the board that is in series have been connected together on the pcb - by KICAD - do I need to change it in the schematic or can I do that in the wiring?

6 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the Tactile-electronics/windmill-electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Parallel Circuit/_Parallel_windmill pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic renewable-charger/renewable-charger.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
