Solar panals
Can some one tell me how solar panels work? I have one in a class A that I bought used. Put a new battery in it and dont know how it works. Does a switch need turned on to make it work?

- Hi Renae,
You have to save them to a photo sharing site and then link them. The sharing tool is the fifth from the end (the question mark being one)
If the light is on then at least some charging is happening. Measure the output from the controller. Almot wrote:

If the charge indicator goes off at night and comes on in daylight, the panel is working.
Harold that it does...how ever nothing comes on....hmmmmm a mystery...
So there are no lights on the controller?
THERE IS A LIGHT ON THE POWER GUARD...Its on in the day and off at night...can some one please tell me how to put up pictures?- That light indicates it is in charge mode.
Do you have the model number of the controller? Almot wrote:
I am lost. Do lights on controller come on at daylight and go off at night, or do they not? :) If they don't - check the voltages section by section, as above. There is no rocket science to it.
Light on power guard works in day and is out at night...Almot wrote:

All charge controllers in the Power guard line have charge indicator lights, and some have a digital didplay. No need to climb on the roof with cardboard.

It is doing at least that much....:)
The next step would be to test the output from the controller to the battery.- I am lost. Do lights on controller come on at daylight and go off at night, or do they not? :) If they don't - check the voltages section by section, as above. There is no rocket science to it.
