Since I live in Southern Oregon, where the winters can long and rainy, and the clouds often block the sun for several days at a time, I've often wondered if solar panels would be of much use here. So as an experiment I installed a couple solar panels on my truck, and monitored their output, just to see what kind of energy I could produce in the winter season. What I discovered surprised me. Even though my panels have the potential of producing 10 amperes of power, In the winter months with no sunshine I can still produce enough energy to be useful when the clouds are covering the sun, and I've seen my power fluctuate between 3 tenths of an amp and up to 4 amperes, depending on how heavy the cloud cover is. Since I mainly wanted a back up power supply to keep my 12 volt batteries charged. I feel quite comfortable that my 2 panels are enough to keep my batteries charged for emergencies.

That amp meter is the original Mr.Faraday used first hand

Solar panel technology has come a long way and is rapidly growing, there was a company demonstrating a new low input solar panel not so long ago that was producing unbelievable power that i could hardly believe what I was seeing

So a partially covered panel can produce maybe 10-30 mA? Wow.

So hear in the UK we run motorhomes with a 1x3 meter solar panel it'll keep you off grid and charged most of the summer time but during short dull days in the winter everyone relied on the engine topping the batteries off every week or so

Solar panels are one of my favorite things. You can actually make a rudimentary solar panel at home relatively cheap. Get some copper sheets Heat plate Salt water or acid(depending on how fancy you wanna get) Some cables There you go. There are better tuned steps, but this is the most simple version.

More than enough power to light up the LED? It requires a measly 15 milliamps at a few volts! There is practically nothing else that uses a little power?

Use a fresnel lens from an old projector big screen tv to collect more light. The thing you have to be weary of is some of the cells not reaching enough power generated and dragging the other cells back with them. Bypass diodes help a lot

But in reality, solar panels produce about 1/100th of their rated output in winter. Shourt days, cloud, low angle and obstructions all subtract from potential power.

Yep the sun puts out aolar rays even through clouds

so you can 'over panel' a solar system to get a lot more power on rain days, you just need to use a current sensor to remove the extra panels when the current gets up to the charger controller's limit... i call it a solar booster.... no more dead battery when we get two rain days in a row.

Light also reflects off other surfaces....

Just like my speaker and solar panel tinkering. The iPhone blasts you with infrared for FaceID. Apparently that charges up the solar panel than most to all artificial lighting. And it’s just one little laser on a phone. The solar panels are eating up all the echoing infrared in the area. If we could see it would be all purple on cloudy days I’d assume. My theore is that is all the panels need to do enough

New studies suggest indirect sunlight provides more energy production than previously predicted - It's an efficiency gain due to the solar panels not operating great at the higher temps at peak production

I had a bunch of westinghouse stuff and that meter among the multitudes. My grandfather was a westinghouse dealer post war.
