Solar Panels (closed)
« on: April 28, 2011, 09:28:51 AM »
Are there panels that can be used in a 12v set up that can later be used in a 24 system ? Thinking 100 watt plus

This could have been answered easily with google, but yes, solar panels usually come as 12v units but they can be hooked up in series to get 24 or more volts

There is no need to post a new thread for each related question...

You already have a solar thread going, the Mods like keeping a posters' related topics all in one thread...

We don't have a good general Photovoltaic energy FAQ yet, so google is your friend.
