/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/solar-power-useI was thinking about using solar power to either charge batteries or power a small Radio Controlled car. Would this be feasible or would the amount of solar cells needed be so large it would look more like a giant moving solar panel than a car....en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/solar-power-useThu, 26 Feb 2015 10:41:14 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:4e09200f-1818-4c63-b76f-6afe7e44100bclem570<p>It would be feasible if:</p><ul><li>Good sunlight where you are located</li><li>Do not expect a fast charge. These work like a trickle charger depending on voltage needed.</li><li>Powering a car would not be expected since motors would draw too much current typically. </li><li>Expect to need a circuit board to help regulated the current/voltage.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Clem</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=20021&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
