How can you make a solar panel from a yard light have more amp, and watts?
Question:
Answer:
well everyone hear is correct but they all are not telling you HOW>> they said connect more, you cant, holegen light, connect in series. BUT HOW?
Well first let us say this You cant get more power from one solor panel then what it produces you can max. its output with more light but it still will only produce what it was built for. But the fun begins with MORE CELLS.
But first you need to understand what watts means, Watts are your amp x your Volts. Since and average cell does 1.5v at .4 amps it watts are nominal but you can up its volts to increase Watts or up its Amps to increase watts. But what you need to know is how much volts do you need and for how long, more current means longer run time. AA/AAA/D/C all are 1.5v battery with different amps the bigger the battery the more amps, the more amps the more avail power a solor cell uses its power fast so you need to store the power in a battery.
To increase volts hook up in series to increase amps hook up in parallel. Each cell is marked with a possitive and a neg, Neg is ussaully black. Think of a solar cell as a battery for a flash ligh the battery go + touch -, this increases there power from 1.5 v to 3v at the same amps, but if you connect + to + and - to - you still get 1.5v but now at 2x the current so longer running but if you take 2 battery and connect them + to - and then connect them together + to + and - to - with another 2 batterys connected + to - then now you have doubled voltage and current now doubling total watts. HAVE FUN. Hope that helps
You can't.
buy a second solar panel and hook them together. lol
Add more panels in series.
add more panel
mount a halogen light over it.
Cell has a limited efficiency. You have to add more cells.
increase the quantity of solar panel. get more and connect them up. will increase the amps and watts.
