test solar panels

[gagichce]

not looking good, each solar panel is about ~100ma of current output. Since they are a lower voltage we need to put two in series to get the required voltage and then several pairs in parallel to get the current we need (which I currently estimate to be about 1A minimum)

---

Using these panels we will need approximately 10-15 of them

I calculated the power density of these panels to be 26.7 Watts/m^2 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=7.2+Volts+*+100mA+%2F%28270mm+x+100mm%29

new solar panels are here wooooooo!
