Guest repliedYes I have been learning electrical circuit book. Schematics help me more. Plus im a hands on learner, it works better when someone shows me how something should work. explanations can confuse me..Leave a comment:

Try looking for a simple electrical circuit book. The wiring terminology and theory of solar cells is just about the same as wiring resistors or other small DC components.Leave a comment:

Guest repliedFor solar cells. There is hardly any, Ive googled. And most times I turn to Youtube for information. Or Im scrumming through forums.
I wish there was a manual that is simple easy to pick up with important facts and information and some good drawn representations.Last edited by Guest; 05-04-2016, 09:07 PM.Leave a comment:

Im having problems trying to calculate Amps. There are more amps in one cell, and when connecting them in series my amps go down.
Shouldnt they multiply much like Voltage does in series?
Everytime I connect more than 6 solar cells in series the amps go down from .50 amp and end up being like .20amp after a few cells in series
Why do amps subtract in series like that?
or Am I doing something wrong
Parallel wired components = the amps adds up but the voltage stays the same.Leave a comment:

Cool bright sunny day, with the panel oriented directly facing the sun, at solar noon. Calibrated high power flash lamps are how commercial manufactures produce their data, but that is an expensive proposition for DIY or residential use.Leave a comment:

Guest repliedHow do you figure out how much a panel puts out maximum. How does one test this. Wait for a nice sunny day? or Test under lamps?Leave a comment:

Guest repliedI know there is alot of confusing stuff to learn. But what exactly is ImpLeave a comment:

Thanks alot guys!
I was thinking 36 Cells too. Seems there are plenty built that way that is the standard for charging battery
I'd like to know whats most common solar panel Size for charging battery. 1 battery. or 2 or 3 or 10. ya know.
I like to write a manual about this stuff
So if you have say a 100 watt panel with an Imp = 5.5amps then the best match up would be for a 12v battery with a 55Ah rating.Leave a comment:
