I am trying to make a working model involving solar panels on a small scale and need a light source, so will a solar panel work using a light bulb as a light source(Filament bulb), if yes what would be the required bulb(as in what would be its required watt/volt).
Guys, I am not powering a light bulb using a solar panel, I am powering a solar panel using a light bulb
Light bulb would work with the direct current (as opposed to alternating) that a solar panel generates.
The main concern is: what is the voltage your panel puts out?
If you get 5 volt out, then forget about powering a light bulb designed for 100 volt.
Since you mention small scale, look towards flashlight bulb. Those are designed to operate on the voltage of few, and sometime even a single, battery; i.e. 3 volts or maybe even less.
please correct me if i am wrong with my solar panel?
laptop #1 : 19.5V X 3.9A = 76.05 watts
laptop #2 : 19.5V X 3.9A = 76.05 watts
mouse #1 : 5V X 100mA = .5 watts
mouse #2 : 5V X 100mA = .5 watts
telephone : 9V X 400mA = 3.6 watts
light bulb : 26 watts
clock : 6V X 300mA = 1.8 watts
fan : 120V X 0.8A = 96 watts
TOTAL = 280.5 watts <-- so i need to produce 280.5W every hour correct?? so if i wanted to build a good solar panle which type/kind of solar cells, inverter, charge controller, deep cycle battery should i buy??
This is a little over my head, but here goes.
If you want to install batteries, then I'm assuming you want to go totally off the power grid? Could be risky, but depends on how much you want to invest in your system.
Some good tips here:
