I will be on the field for a long time and a nice solution would be charging my batteries using solar panels. I comprehend that first i need to mesure the consumption of my system but it actually it is a 3-12vdc motor using a circuit to control its rpm. A gearbox and a shift will be present. Is it possible and if yes, what are the specifications(approximate) of the solar pannel i should get

Q&A: WHY IS A CHARGE CONTROLLER NOT NECESSARY FOR A 5 WATT SOLAR PANEL?
May 2nd
Question by Michael S:
Why is a charge controller not necessary for a 5 watt solar panel?
My 5 watt solar panel automobile battery charger manual says that charge controller is not necessary for panels under 15 watts. I am trying to comprehend the physics of why that is the case. Even if my panel is only putting out state 15 volts at 350mA could not it eventually overcharge a battery? What if the 5 watt solar panel were connected to a smaller battery, like a 7amp 12v, could it overcharge that battery? BTW, it has a diode to keep the battery voltage from discharging into the solar panel.
