I'd appreciate some help on how to wire up an old solar panel I acquired. It's about 2' x 42" and has an array of 4 x 9 cells. The company is out of business. I've attached a picture of the box which shows 3 terminals on the negative side and 3 terminals on the positive side. I know I can check...
I set up a very old solar panel (18"x4') on my koi pond to run an air bubbler and it works fine. I'd like to install a 12v rechargeable battery that would run the bubbler at night for around 6-8 hours. Could someone suggest what battery pack to buy and how to wire it up?
1. Solar panel is old...
Yes it now only runs during daylight. I'd like the smallest 12v battery possible. I was hoping that I could use my current 12v feed to power the bubbler and the rechargeable battery at the same time. Is this not possible?
If I feed the 20v from the panel to a charge controller, will it then...
