Solar Panel Vmp
I have a solar panel and need a motor to make a prototype of a pump, what motor can my solar panel power?
I need to find a motor that can be powered by the solar panel.
Here are the specs on the back of the solar panel:
Pmp: 185W
Vmp: 3705V
Imp: 4.95A
Series Fuse Rating: 10A
Max System Voltage: 600V
Voc: 44.9V
Isc: 5.30A
Bypass Diode rating: 12A
How can I find what pump can be powered by this?
Any input will be appreciated.
thanks
That is a big solar panel.
The 44.9 volt output means you should use a 48 volt or 50 volt motor, unless you want to regulate the voltage to a lower level. The problem is that voltage is available only in very bright sun. You may get only half or less than that under winter conditions.
The power rating on the motor can be anything smaller than the 185 watt rating, but again, you will get a lot less under less than optimal conditions.
If the power output of the motor isn’t important, I’d get something smaller like a 24 volt 50 watt motor. You can put in some series power resistors to lower the voltage.
Best would be if you measure the voltage output of the panel under typical conditions for your location and time of year.
