IS IT POSSIBLE TO DECREASE VOLTAGE AND INCREASE AMPS FROM A SOLAR PANEL?
Sep 3rd
Question by Pumpup BBQ:
Is it possible to decrease voltage and increase amps from a solar panel?
I’ve got a solar panel which specifies max power voltage 15V, max power current 350mA, 5 Watts. Can i convert it somehow to get 5V and 1A to charge my Tablet phone?
Am I correct in thinking 5W = 15V x 0.35A, so then 5W = 5V x 1.05A?

HOW MUCH SECONDARY VOLTAGE WILL I HAVE FROM MY SOLAR PANEL?
Aug 15th
Question by TALLguy18:
How much secondary voltage will I have from my solar panel?
Im making a solar panel for a project and Its output voltage will be around 16 volts at 1.05 A.
I charge my batteries at 13.4 volts, WHAT IS THE FINAL AMPERAGE???
Does anyone know a formula I can use??
Thanks a lot!!

Q&A: DOES DAMAGE TO A SOLAR PANEL AFFECT THEIR VOLTAGE OUTPUT?
Jul 21st
Question by Mike J:
Does damage to a solar panel affect their voltage output?
I’m trying to develop a system to autonomously detect damage to a solar panel. I know that damage would cause a drop in Current output, but would it also cause a drop in voltage? It is much easier/cheaper to monitor voltage as oppose to current.

WHAT BATTERY VOLTAGE FOR A HYBRID CAR USE? CAN WE INSTALL EXTRA SOLAR PANEL ON THE TOP OF THE CAR?
Jul 12th
Question by HaveANiceDay:
What battery voltage for a Hybrid automobile use? Can we install extra solar panel on the top of the car?
All all hybrid automobile use same battery voltage? What is the battery voltage in general? Why the manufacture do not install solar panel on the top of the automobile to charge up the battery even the automobile is parking. The solar panel can be a thin and less wind resistance as possible or even stick at the top of the car, so no wind resistance. A solar panel, in general of that size, just cost around 300 to 400, compare to a 20k hybrid car, it is just a small cost.. But in long term, it generate lot of energy to charge up the car.

CAN YOU OPERATE LOW VOLTAGE LANDSCAPE LIGHTS FROM A BATTERY AND SOLAR PANEL?
Feb 5th
Question by dodeca hedron:
Can you operate low voltage landscape lights from a battery and solar panel?
Thinking of replacing the transformer with a 12 vdc 50 Ah battery charging via a regulator and 30 watt solar panel. At most, maybe four 20 watt lights.
Thanks for the answers! The purpose is to temporarily put a few 20 watt low voltage spotlights out in remote areas of the yard to highlight small areas with pools of light without weaving a web of extension cords thru the yard. Mainly for Halloween and other yard events.

WHAT SHOULD THE VOLTAGE BE ON A SMALL MARINE SOLAR PANEL?
Dec 18th
Question by Mark:
What should the voltage be on a small marine solar panel?
I have a small marine solar panel on my boat It came with the boat. I want to make sure it is working before I connect it. With a volt meter It is only reading .21 volts dc. I would think it should be 12-15 volts?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE VOLTAGE OUTPUT FOR A SOLAR PANEL?
Dec 1st
Question by Russel:
What is the average voltage output for a solar panel?
What is the average voltage output for a solar panel? I am talking of the small sized ones that would go on the side of a house. Perhaps an answer given in per-area would be good.
Thanks!
