This is Chris aka hellrider from New Delhi, India. I am a solar lover and would love to discuss the innards of the science behind solar.
I am also having a trouble with my mobile solar panel charger.
I have the following setup:
A total of 5 * 6.5 volt solar panels connected in parallel
A powerbank (15000 mAH)
A phone to test charging (android)
Please check the image of the setup I have made. Under normal test conditions when I connect the multimeter to solar panels (positive and negative) I get the following reading:
Voltage: 6.6 V
Amperage: .6 amps
The individual panels are rated for (6.5V 150mAH) so when I connect in parallel the amperage adds up while the volts remains the same (I hope the logic is correct).
My guess from reading over the internet and on instructables is that any 5-6 volt .5 - 1 amp input should charge a mobile device or a power bank.
But after testing the setup, I am not getting any charge in my phone (which is roughly half empty).
I dont know where things are going haywire.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hellrider
