amount of electricity produced increases as the sunlight becomes stronger. Less
amperage is produced in less sunlight, but this panel will generate electricity even
on cloudy days. This Solar Panel may be used to power small 12 volt items directly,
such as lights or small motors. It may also be used to trickle charge 12 volt storage
batteries, such as car or boat batteries. Multiple panels can be wired together for
use in residential or commercial solar power systems.
