The meter is used the same as how the voltage is checked on any equipment. Select the correct voltage range (AC or DC) DC for solar collector and connect the leads to the output. The voltage that you read will be the output of the cell at that particular time.

12 volt solar equal to amp?

Solar panels are rated in watts output. To find the amperage use this equation, Amps = Watts/Volts. The wattage will be on the nameplate of the solar panel.

How many Solar panels required for 1400 volt amp inverter?

8 x 170 watt panels = 1360 Watts total. The actual output would depend on your location in the world. Other factors include aspect and pitch of the solar panels, wiring losses and temperature coefficients.


How many solar panels do you need for 200 amp service?

About 40 panels, if the panel produces around 5a ea 5amp /200 =40. But don't expect it to be constant due to sun Ducking in and out of the clouds and cloudy and rainy days.


How much amp draw does amp gauge versus volt meter?

A meter that you find in large distribution panels only receives part of the supply voltage. The volt meters have a full scale deflection of 5 volts. The amp meters have a full scale deflection of 5 amps. These meters are supplied from, for voltage, potential transformers and for amperage, current transformers. The transformers are ratio driven so that the maximum input will always produce a 5 volt or 5 amp output.The legend on the meter is matched to the transformers. For example, if the maximum current applied to a current transformer is 300 amps then the transformer ratio will be 60:1. So for every 60 amps the transformer detects the meter needle will move up to a position on the meter face equalling 60 amps. This is a linear movement all the way up to full scale deflection of 300 amps equalling 5 amps to the meter.


What voltage will you get adding 2 solar panels of 18V 3 amp and 12V 3 amp if you connect them parallel should you get 6 amp not sure on voltage though does it drop to 12v?

yes, it is 12 volts


How can you find out the wattage of a 1x3 solar panel that has 17 volts output?

Try the manufacture.OR Wattage=volts x amps. the brighter the sun the more they put out, up to a limit. Use a 17volt light bulb(good luck), as high a wattage you can find, in series with an ampmeter and connect them to the solar panel. Place a volt meter across the solar panal leads.Then place them in bright sunlight to read the ampmeter. Make sure you do not exceed to ampmeter limit by observing the meter as the solar panel is slowly exposed to sunlight. This should work. 17 volts is low voltage and probably cannot hurt you. Multiply the volt meter reading by the amp meter reading to get your wattage reading in watts.
