Connect Solar Panel Light Bulb

Solar panels can work with artificial light.

Connect solar panel light bulb.

Solder the positive pad from solar panel 1 to the negative pad on solar panel 2. An incandescent light bulb is an electric light with a wire filament within a gas filled glass bulb which produces light when current passes through it. Automatically switches off in bright light to save charge and switch on in dark. A 60 watt light bulb needs 60 watts with a c current.

A good modern option for low wattage outdoor lights is led lights. You would need 1 panel and only a small resistor to light the led. Solar light bulb improves literacy because people can read after dark more easily than they can by a candle or kerosene lamp. However their performance and energy outputs will never be as high as if they were exposed to sunlight.

For outdoor lights you can connect the battery directly to the lights to power them. Then solder wires to the remaining positive and negative pads on each solar panel. Basically take two of your 4 solar panels let s call them solar panel 1 and 2. Since most inverters have receptacles the easiest way to do this is to disconnect the light fixture from the electric panel run a length of 12 or 14 gauge outdoor cable from the light to the inverter connect one end to the light install a plug on the on the other end and plug it into the inverter.

Uses a high quality solar panel to charge the battery. The energy output of the solar panel will also vary depending on the type of bulb the type of light warm or cold intensity and the wavelength of the artificial light. In fact with a 10 watt panel you might be able to light 2 or maybe bulbs. A single solar panel isn t going to power indoor domestic lighting but it will be able to power a series of outdoor lights.

Using 15watts it would be possible to run four of these bulbs for 24 hours per day on a100w panel and 8 on a 200w panel and 12 on a 300w panel. Battery over discharge protection circuit.
