12V 15W Solar Panel – Aluminium Frame for Battery Charging, Solar Projects and Lighting
12V 15W Solar Panel – Aluminium Frame for Battery Charging, Solar Projects and Lighting
Description
The 12V 15W Solar Panel is a compact photovoltaic module designed for small solar-powered systems, battery-charging applications, lighting projects, electronics experiments, and off-grid installations.
It delivers a rated maximum power of 15W, with an operating voltage of approximately 18.38V and an operating current of 0.86A under standard test conditions. The higher operating voltage allows it to be used as a nominal 12V solar panel when connected through a suitable solar charge controller.
The panel is built with multiple polycrystalline solar cells and a durable aluminium frame for protection and convenient mounting. It is suitable for educational projects, solar lighting, small battery systems, CCTV setups, emergency power projects, and DIY renewable-energy applications.
For charging a 12V battery, connect the panel through a compatible solar charge controller. Do not connect sensitive devices or batteries directly without proper voltage regulation and protection.
