How Do You Make A Solar Powered Light?
Using solar powered energy around the home can eventually save you money since solar power is a renewable source. This especially applies to outdoor lighting systems that may have enough sun exposure to power themselves. This article will explain how to build a basic solar powered light that you can time to charge during the day and come on at night. Ensure your photovoltaic array will provide the required wattage to power the light. Photovoltaic cells tend to provide around 20 percent of the energy collected, so make sure the array is big enough and will be placed to gain the most sun exposure. Connect the electrical lead wires from the array to the charge controller’s respective positive and negative terminals. The charge controller will regulate how long the solar battery needs to receive the electricity generated by the solar array. Connect a wire between solar battery’s positive terminal to one end of a fuse. Use a lead wire to connect the other end of the fuse to the charge contr
