Used Solar Panel

Katherine Said:

Has anybody used a solar panel to charge an ipod?

We Answered:

Well it is possible and I am sure people have done it before. Only problem that I can see with this is to prevent power surges to your ipod. Also if you do construct one of these make sure to MATCH UP THE VOLTAGES~
If you don't there is a potential(no pun intended) to do some big damage to your ipod.
Try to look up some circuits used for solar panels to prevent these surges.

Here is someone who has done it before:

It is a really simple circuit that uses a 6 volt solar panel and a voltage regulator to get it down to 5 volts.
Google:
"diy ipod solar charger"
for more info.

Also to improve on your design, I would KEEP the original ipod cable AS IS and use a femal usb port in the circuit. That way you can use this solar charger for any usb device.

Why waste a perfectly good over priced IPOD cable?

Take Care !

Melvin Said:

Can a solar panel be used for constant-voltage charging?

We Answered:

Solar panels don't deliver AC current. Do you have a microinverter attached to it? That would be the only way for it to output AC is if there were some form of inveter.

We kinda gotta know what that something is, and how big the solar panel is. I cannot run my car on the solar cell attached to my calculator.

You can use this system to power up basically any appliance you have in your home: fridge, washing machine, computer, TVs, lights.
