12v Solar Panels

Marjorie Said:

How do you connect three 12V solar panels to produce 24V? I have no room for another panel.?

We Answered:

well you would connect 2 panels, in series to get 24volts.
a 3rd panel would generate 36 volts.

Christian Said:

who wants or know someone that wants to buy 100 5W or 10W 12V solar panels ?

We Answered:

You could try selling them on ebay. They sell lots of stuff like that over there.

How much are you asking? What are the specs (V and A)?

Samantha Said:

Where can i buy mini (1v - 12v) solar panels?

We Answered:

Jameco Electronics carries some small solar panels that may work. They also carry individual cells, so you could make your own panel if you need to.

The amount of current you will need will depend on the motor you are using and the load it will be required to drive. If you have the documentation for the motor is should list current specifications. You can also hook it up to a power supply through an ampmeter and measure the current drawn by the motor directly.

You can buy larger panels and complete systems from several other companies as well:
