A Solar Battery is basically a tank to catch the power from a solar installation. The power is caught by the battery, and stored until it is needed. There is not really a "SOLAR BATTERY" per se, many are great at the application.

The main thing to consider is the fact that the battery has to catch power and give it back over hours or days, not seconds or minutes. Car batteries are designed to give all their power in 20 seconds and are therefore not an acceptable item for the application.

Deep cycle batteries are used in solar applications because of their ability to hold a charge and discharge it over time to an appliance like an inverter.

Premium Deep cycle batteries are a bit more expensive than normal ones, but you get cycle life (number of times you can charge and discharge the battery) and density (amount of power in a small box) that the cheaper batteries can not match. In addition the premium solar batteries are UL listed, providing an ability to insure the installation in a building or home.

Is it possible to find out how much voltage is stored in a solar cell?

A solar cell does not store electricity. It charges a battery that stores electricity. The voltage of a battery can be found by connecting a voltmeter to the battery terminals.

How many volts does the suns ray have?

none. Only electricity has voltage. you might have been asking about solar battery that CONVERTS solar quantum energy into electron/electric energy


Can a 12-volt solar battery charger charge a 36-volt battery?

No, a 12-volt charger cannot charge a 36-volt battery. The electrical potential difference across the leads of a charger must exceed the electrical potential difference across the terminals of any battery it is expected to charge. And 12 volts is much less than 36 volts.WHY?The 36-volt battery would require at least 39.3 volts to get to a float charge. This would charge the battery to 80% quickly, and then take a logarithmic period of time to finish the battery. To actually charge the 36-volt battery correctly would require roughly 43.2 volts, but if we can't get 39, this is irrelevant.The 12-volt charger has no chance.The answer above is correct; there is no way the 12-volt charger can charge a 36-volt battery. However, the voltages given apply only to lead-acid batteries. They would be different for nickel metal hydride or lithium cells. You still need a charger with more voltage that the battery voltage in any case.


What can a chloroplast be compared to in real life?

Considering the chloroplasts have the chlorophyll which give energy to the plant and is where the energy is made it would have to be the cells which contain the mitochondria which is where the energy in cells is made

What is the working of solar engine for solar car?

A solar engine for a solar car is actually an electric motor. Solar cells on a solar car collect solar energy, which is then sent to a battery or battery pack in the form of DC current. This energy is then used to power the solar car.


Is a solar powered car faster than a battery powered car?

Solar powered cars are battery powered cars. The solar array is charging the batteries. So there is no real difference.
