Frequently asked questions

How to connect a solar panel to a battery holder?

It is required to note the maximum voltages of both the solar panel and the battery holder. Connect the positive terminals of the solar panel and the battery. Do the same with the negative terminals. A charge controller is useful to be placed in between the solar panel and the battery holder.
What size solar panel to charge a 12-volt deep cycle battery?

To charge a 12-volt deep cycle battery would require a solar panel with a wattage rating of 15W to 20W of the state-of-charge time of one hour. However, multiple solar panels will demand much more, which depends on battery capacity.
Can a solar panel directly charge a battery?

Yes, it is possible to directly charge the battery using solar panels. Placing a charge controller between the panel and battery controls the charging current. As for the functions of the charge controller, it controls the voltage and the current.
