PiJuice 22W Solar Panel merging outputs #1104

Open gabrieltakacs opened 3 days ago

gabrieltakacs commented 3 days ago

I've bought PiJuice 22W Solar Panel for my single Raspberry PI Zero with Pijuice Hat. I've then realized that my solar panel has two outputs instead of one. Can I merge those two USB outputs to one and provide full power for my single Raspberry device?

You can merge the two outputs to get a max output of 20 Watts. It does not make sense to expect the PiJuice HAT to just pass through this max power (i.e 5V,4A) to the PiZero. The conversions in the PiJuice only allow a max current to the Pi of 2.5A (See https://github.com/PiSupply/PiJuice/tree/master/Hardware#power-management-and-batteries)
