Portable solar project - fully working!

(1/2) > >>

kje:
I made a portable solar project of a 10W monocrystallin solar panel, tool box, 10A CMP solar charger, cigarette sockets, switch, voltagemeter display, fuses, some wire and a old 74ah car battery.

I drilled some holes in the tool box for mounting two cigarette sockets, voltmeter display and a switch. The voltmeter display got broken after the install (as you can see in the picture) so I`ve ordered a new one. One cigarette socket is for solar panel in, and the other is for load out. As you can see in the picture it`s charging the battery with 664mA in the sun. I don`t know if that is very good or just ok? I`m proud that it works at least! :) It`s weather proof and portable!

Kiriakos GR:
That's a very nice little project, congrats.   :)

MJLorton:
Brilliant! Reminds me of my "tool box" solar station I put together.....thanks for posting.

kje:
Thanks! :) How much mA should I expect from this project in the sun?

kje:
 Watt/Volt=Amps
10W/12V=0,833

So the peak of my 10W panel is 833mA? Does that mean my 664mA in the sun was a decent outcome?
