This Solar lipo charger is designed for a single Lithium battery (3.7V) for intelligent charging, with input reverse polarity protection. The maximum charging current is 500mA and the connections are easy (screw terminal for Solar/Power Out, and a JST PH for LiPo). Connect from the charge controller to the lead acid battery with hookup wire. It is labeled pretty clearly on the charge controller what connects to what. Reply This is our favorite waterproof charge controller for lead acid batteries. Battery Capacity (in Watt hours) X 2 / Rated Panel Power (in Watts) The DFRobot Solar Power Manager series are designed for IoT projects and renewable energy projects, providing safe and high-efficiency embedded solar power management modules for makers and application engineers. After calculating your latitude, you may refer here to see how many hours of daylight you can receive in December. In my case, the chart shows that during December solstice, the sun shines 10 hours a day in San Antonio.

You don’t need an inverter. Everything can stay in DC. For this sort of application, you could use the 9 Watt Kit which includes a 9 Watt solar panel and the V44, 12,000mAh battery and 2 USB ports. If you really wanted to reduce costs, you could just get the 9 Watt panel and the USB regulator. This would work to charge phones on sunny days, but you wouldn’t have any power storage if you skip the battery. That panel will produce 6V in just about any light, and the most charging current of the selection. The supplied current will be proportional to the light intensity. There is no need to worry about "maximizing exposure" to sunlight, because in full sun the panel theoretically has the capacity to charge a completely dead 3.7 V 1000 mAh battery in 2 hours. If the maximum voltage of your battery is more or less than 3.7V, you have to adjust the values accordingly. Given the high price of a solar installation, it is pertinent to ask whether installing it yourself will be more advantageous. Indeed, in some cases, it is. Roof installationIt depends on how efficient the battery charges from solar power and the size of the solar panel. If we assume that the battery charges efficiently from solar, a reasonable estimate is (Battery Capacity in Watt hours) / (Power of Solar Panel) * 2. You need to take the size of the solar panel, divide by 48 Watt hours (the voltage of the internal battery is actually 3.7) and multiply by 2. Reply

If I hook up the first solar panel to the 3.7v battery, it would need to be above 4 volts to charge up, which is a lot of sun exposure.It depends on the Voltage of your panel, the size of the car battery, your charge controller that you’re using and the weather conditions. You should be able to do it in about a day of full sun though. Please consider using a deep-cycle rather than a standard car battery, it will work better. Reply In this exercise, we will compare the three different Arduino boards to see which one best fits your needs. Listed here are the various attributes used to determine the best suited for our example.
