How do you hook up a solar pannel to power an electronical.?

Question

I need to know this because I would like to become an electrical engineer but first I need to learn the basics.

Answer 1

In essence all one has to do is hook the two output leads to a load of an appropriate voltage and current rating.  In practical applications, things get a bit more complicated.  The panels (actually called modules) produce DC electricity, and most applications want to see AC.  This requires an inverter.  Inverters are chosen to have the right DC input voltage and maximum current, and the right AC output voltage and current.  If batteries are to be used, battery charging capability or a separate charger is needed.

Look on the Internet under photovoltaic solar power for a lot more info, and look also in the green search box above for solar power.
