Solar Trickle Charge - Myth or Fact?

[Russ]

It is true that keeping a solar panel connected will discharge a battery if its dark. However, all it takes is a diode to solve this problem and if your 5W panel was sold as a battery maintainer, it will have the necessary diode in place to prevent this.

Gee, If I send a lot of power to a solar panel will sunlight come out of it?

You have to wire 10 of them in a series and plug into a 110 outlet.

LED in reverse!

[Boblee]

Yeah but only for a fraction of a second and then kaput.

[BOAT]

I'll be sure not to try it.

[Russ]

I'll be sure not to try it.

I may have been wrong. Maybe you need 11 100 what panels to make light at 110 volts. Give it a whirl and report back.

[BOAT]

Okay! Does it matter which way I point the panels? (I probably should do it in the dark to make sure I see the light when it comes out).

The sun goes to the south during the winter and pretty much over head during the summer .
So a south facing is best .

[Boblee]

Unless you live in OZ and then the Sun goes North for the winter and we try to follow it.

It most certainly does so. However, when connected in this manner, you see, they are then known as slenap ralos, their alter ego, and you must be extremely cautious with them.

Wear sun glasses, and you should point the panels away from your face to avoid sunburn. It's not a procedure I would recommend, because you could get caught in a loop of the time space continuum.

It's true, it's not a myth.

I read it on the internet in the post below.

Says so right there in the post above.

AAck! I'm caught in an endless loop! Last time this happened I was told my weather radar could not only see clouds but if connected in reverse clouds MAKE clouds but they said I had to spell radar in reverse to get the secret code for making clouds. I did not work for me, it did not change my radar unit at all but I guess it works for some people.

In point of technical fact, no you won't get "sunlight" (that being broad-spectrum light), but it does emit infra-red, which can be seen with a FLIR.

[BOAT]

So the radar will make invisible clouds: radar spelled backwards =

[seahouse]

Radar?

No, it never propagates if I set a gap or prevention.

Loops? at a spool.

Camp Mac.

In words, drown I.

[BOAT]

Yup, radar spelled backwards = radar - catch you comin' or goin'

So, is it further to New York than it is by plane?
