Solar Power / Re: How to improve low consumption electric motor powered with a mini solar panel ?

« Last post by AvaMartin on July 24, 2019, 12:40:11 PM »

Hi..It can be done but why would you want to do this? UPS system work exactly opposite. They use inexpensive commercial power and only switch to battery power in the event of a power failure at which time a generator starts and takes over.
A 100 watt off-grid solar can only power a regular desktop PC for only a few short hours in a day. So if this computer was running say 24 x7 or even say 10 hours per day a 100 watt system is not going to keep it powered up and will be running on AC most of the time.
