In the most basic terms, a battery charger may be nothing more than a power supply that transfers electricity of a given voltage to a battery. Just put the battery in, give it time to charge completely, and then disconnect it. If you want to charge a 12 volt battery, you can plug it into a 15-18 volt charger. The price of this system’s simplicity, though, is its risk of overcharging.

If you overcharge a battery, it’s likely that the battery’s functionality will be decreased, sometimes significantly. Overcharging a 12 volt battery too often can damage it to the point that it will no longer maintain a charge. However, you can use a charge controller, which will make sure that the correct voltage is used and prevent the battery from being overcharged. If you’re using a 12 volt solar charger, you’ll most likely want to have the option of leaving it connected all day while the sun is shining, and thus a charge controller is a necessity.

The most common type of charge controller for 12 volt batteries is a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) charge controller. With a PWM charge controller, a switch is flipped on and off repeatedly depending on the flow of the electricity. Initially, the switch stays “on” more. As power is moved to the battery, the switch spends more time activated than deactivated, and once the battery is fully charged, it no longer flips back on. The charging process is controlled and monitored by a microprocessor chip. There is no danger of overcharging with a PWM charge controller, even if you leave it plugged into a battery indefinitely. This is called “trickle charging,” and it is handy when you have a battery that you don’t necessarily use all the time, but would like it to be charged when you do need to use it. This feature is obviously very appropriate for a 12 volt solar charger. This, in turn, will allow you to keep the 12 volt battery for your boat or RV charged at all times.

A 12 volt solar charger is no more complicated than that. The power source is the only thing that differentiates a 12 volt solar charger from an ordinary 12 volt battery charger. Solar battery chargers generate power with the use of a solar panel rather than from a wall outlet.  Many people are now building their own DIY solar panels.  To learn more, take a look at DIY Solar Panel.

Most of the solar panels used on houses have 1/2 volt and 3-4 amp solar cells. Since a 12 volt battery charger needs about 15-18 volts of electricity to use, it’s necessary to connect several of these cells to produce enough power. Small solar panels do come in a variety of different voltages. The charger will work properly when you match the voltage of the solar panel to your charge controller. The voltage rating on the charge controller tells you what voltage you’ll need. If you aren’t using a charge controller, it’s best to use a solar panel of 15-18 volts. If you are using a charge controller, the required voltage is just that – required.  GreenDIYEnergy is the best guide to building your own 12 volt solar charger.  To read my article about it, take a look at Green DIY Energy.

The method for wiring the solar panel to the charge controller is contingent upon certain factors within the controller. In most cases, it’s safe to solder the same kind of connector onto the solar panel that’s on your charge controller. If you can’t use a charge controller, you can use the same type of connector that’s on the battery. With respect to clamps, the spring loaded type are a good choice for larger 12 volt batteries. You do have the choice of using electrical tape instead of soldering, but soldering is a longer-lasting solution, and, in this case, it’s a very simple procedure. You won’t need any special tools other than a decent soldering iron and solder, which you can find easily at places like Radio Shack. All you have to do is twist the wires on either side together, use the soldering iron on the wires, and touch the solder to the wires until it melts. As long as you take care not to burn yourself, and remember to heat the wires and not the solder itself with the soldering iron, it’ll be no problem.  Another guide to building your own 12v solar charger that I recommend is Homemade Energy.  For more information, visit Homemade Energy Review.

It’s really that simple! Building a 12 volt solar charger is a quick procedure as well. A 12 volt battery is the first component. Making sure to get one with the appropriate voltage, you’ll also want a charge controller. Buy or build a solar panel that has the correct voltage for the charge controller. The last step is to connect all the parts – connect the solar panel to the charge controller, and the charge controller to the battery. Once you’ve done this, you’ll have permanent, free power! This will lower your energy bill, cut pollution, and let you do your part in reducing dependence on foreign oil.

1. Solar Power is a Stable Source of Alternative Energy: These panels are powered by the sun’s energy through photovoltaics. While fossil fuels can run out, the sun’s energy will be available for a long time to come.

2. Portable: Until recently solar panels have had their limitations. They were too heavy and difficult to carry. Because of our increased desire to find alternative sources of energy, better designs have been made to create portable and flexible solar panels. Portable and flexible solar panels can be easily layed out flat on the ground or roof of your car to bring power to cell phones and ipods and then rolled up to easily fit in your backpack.

3. Waterproof: When they were first developed, the stability of the solar panels were such that they had to be protected by a special casing which severely limited their capabilities. A technology called thin-film has provided solar cells to be used in many different ways. You can conveniently bring a flexible solar panel on your boat and charge items like ipods etc.

4. Variety of Uses: A flexible solar panel can be used in a variety of situations, such as to recharge batteries, charge your cell phone, iPods, etc. Flexible and portable solar panels have now been manufactured inside backpacks and even jackets. For the adventurer, this thin-film technology allows you to easily document your travels like never before. you will not need to carry any heavy and builky batteries.

5. Durable: Because these rolled panels are an amorphous solid, you can depend on it for durability. But there are no glass parts so they will not break. They are temperature and weather tolerant, making them usable almost everywhere.

6. Can Be Used Almost Anywhere: Flexible solar panels or rolled solar panels can be carried and used practically anywhere, even in the middle of the ocean. Many extreme sea kayakers were able to use the thin-fim technology to document their journey. For those who aren’t extreme kayakers and hikers, we can take the thin-film technology and use it in a similar way. If you are going camping or heading off to the lake, you can roll out the flexible and portable solar panels on the ground, or boat to power your equipment.
