12V solar panels are useful for portable and backup power.A 12V solar panel or solar module is made of multiple solar cells bonded between glass and a backing material within a frame. A typical solar panel will have a glass covering, tough plastic backing sheet and framed in high grade aluminium for protection and weatherproofing.To create a stand-alone 12v solar panel system you will also need a solar regulator and batteries to store the power. If you intend running AC appliances then you will also need a DC to AC power inverter. Estimate 12v solar panel size.What size solar panel do you need? To estimate your solar power requirement use this as an example: To light a 20 watt globe for 10 hours will require 200 watts (the wattage rating of any appliance indicates how much power it uses in one hour). Assuming 5 hours of peak sunlight per day means you will need a solar panel capable of producing 200 watts in 5 hours, for instance a 40 watt solar panel. In an actual application the system will include wiring, a regulator and a battery to store the power. These components all consume energy increasing the overall inefficiency of the system so you should allow for that. Choose a battery large enough to provide power for about three days to allow for cloudy days (ALL solar panels need bright, full sunlight over the whole solar module to generate their rated output). With an adequate 12V solar power supply you can use a 12 volt solar panel to power anything that can be run off a car battery.If you prefer a complete solar kit that you can set up in minutes and folds into a flat carry bag for easy storage then check out our portable solar panels. |

Great service. 10W Panel and regulator received this morning straight after the Easter break. All in good order. fitted the solar panel today and working a treat. Charges the battery quicker than I expected really for such a small panel. Good on you. Regards Peter D
I was using the wrong connectors for testing initially. Using the correct ones the panel has exceeded my expectations. Thank you for your help. Regards Megan W
Thanks for your quick response. I have fully charged the solar charger now and the message is gone. Thanks for the added info which I will take on board. I love the product.Best Regards Michelle H
The 120 watt folding solar panel from you earlier in the year has worked very well, I am now interested in a 10 watt 12 volt panel
Regards Ron
Thank you so much for this info and link. It's just what I needed. I will let you know how this all works out, but suffice to say for now, having received our solar garden lights, project #1 is going very well!
Cheers, Sue & Bruce
Thanks heaps for your help. I will be sure to recommend you to my friends. The wind turbine has sparked interest from the other farmers in the area so I will pass on your details to them. Thanks again
