There is no way to up the panels voltage by itself what you will need to do is get 2 or more panels and connect them in a "Series" to add the voltage. If you connect them in "Parallel" then you will add the Amps and the Volts will stay the same. So lets pay are you starter than a fifth grader and see if we know which way is a series and which way is parallel.

I could not remember so I had to look it up to be for sure. http://www.autoshop101.com/trainmodules/elec_circuits/circ113.html has a nice little description of it all.

Basically a series is having Panel A connect to Panel B then to the light, or whatever. Parallel is having Panel A and Panel B on separate wires connecting to one wire then to the light. Hence Parallel since they will typically be next to each other.

So to make a short answer long, connect one panel to the next before connecting it to the light for more voltage.

What form of energy powers a solar power calculator?

A solar power calculator harnesses solar energy from light, which is converted into electrical energy by the solar panel on the calculator. This electrical energy is then used to power the calculator.


How area of solar panel affect voltage?

It is not based on the area really... basically for each photo voltaic cell they have a certain voltage, if you connect them in series such as -------0-------0----------0---------0--- then it will increase the voltage 4fold but not the amplitude if they are connected in parallel then amplitude will increase but not voltage. Usually panels have a mix of both to get a good voltage and amplitude |--------0-----| |--------0-----| |-------0------| |------0-------| |------0-------|

Why do you build solar cells in both parallel series and series configurations?

Solar cells in parallel series configuration are used to increase the current output, while solar cells in series configuration are used to increase the voltage output. By combining these configurations, you can optimize both current and voltage levels for a specific application, such as maximizing power output in a solar panel.


How to test output of a solar panel?

To test the output of a solar panel, you can use a multimeter set to measure DC voltage. Connect the positive (red) lead of the multimeter to the positive terminal of the solar panel and the negative (black) lead to the negative terminal. The reading on the multimeter will indicate the voltage output of the solar panel under the current lighting conditions.


What is the energy transformation of a solar calculator?
