Technical FAQs 4

Can you discharge and charge a solar battery simultaneously?

You cannot discharge and charge a solar battery simultaneously. One of the process will have to be strong than the other. In most cases, most solar panels are capable of sending large currents to the solar battery for charging. When a load is connected to the solar lighting system for charging, they only use very little current.

Can a solar panel charge a battery?

Yes. In your example the solar panel and PWM charge controller are separate devices that will take sunlight and convert it to the proper voltage regardless of what else is connected to the batteries such as LED lights and/or an inverter. Whether the battery charges is dependent on the amount of power being produced compared to power being consumed.

Does solar battery charge at night?

This means the solar battery only charges during the night. Although the solar panel is left connected to the battery at all times, it does not charge at night. So, when you are using the solar battery at night, the battery will not be charging. The weather conditions determine the flow of current to the solar battery.

Why is my solar panel not charging at night?

Although the solar panel is left connected to the battery at all times, it does not charge at night. So, when you are using the solar battery at night, the battery will not be charging. The weather conditions determine the flow of current to the solar battery. During winter, little or no solar energy is harvested.
