Solar Energy

Olaolu Jokotoye

Can we say the size of the Solar panel is one of the limitations in a solar practical experiment? For instance size or number of solar panels matters in real time installation, I believe 24 volts solar panel will charge 24 Volts battery in real time depending on the solar intensity, and I know that 48 Volts Solar panel (connected in series) will charge the 24 volts Battery faster than 24 Volts solar panel. Kindly share your thought on this.

Cheers.

    Can you clarify your question ?  A particular level  of sunlight will give you a certain number of watts of electricity per square meter of solar  panel. How you care to slice those watts into volts and amps is really a convenience - a large installation may have series strings of panels totalling a few hundred volts to keep the current and wire sizes to a sensible level. For any given panel the there is a load "sweet spot" that gives maximum power, so some sort of electronic regulation is more or less essential to track changing light levels.

    However I am not sure if that goes any way to answer your question.

    Thanks for your input, I am talking about Solar Lab experiment limitations.
