About Amorphous Solar Power Solar panels convert sunlight into an electric current, they do not store power. Amorphous solar panels are created by spraying silicon onto glass in very thin layers, and are commonly known as thin film solar panels. This process allows them to be better at generating electricity in all lighting conditions, including cloudy or shady environments. They have a maximum operating temperature range of -40 to 176-degrees Fahrenheit, requiring virtually no maintenance. They can even withstand impacts from one-inch hailstones at 50 miles-per-hour.
The Sunforce 50022 5-Watt Solar Battery Trickle Charger is designed to maintain an existing battery charge, and not to fully recharge a battery. It can remain connected to a vehicle battery at all times and will not adversely affect its operation or electrical components. Unless the trickle charger is permanently mounted, you should remove and store it to prevent physical harm while the vehicle is in motion.
The Sunforce 50022 5-Watt Solar Battery Trickle Charger gives you another reason to love the sun - it will help keep your vehicle's battery charged anywhere, anytime. Just plug this helpful 5-watt trickle charger into your vehicle's 12-volt lighter socket and position the panel to pick up the most daylight possible. Or, if you prefer, use the included battery clamps to connect it directly to the battery, so you can keep your lighter socket open for cell phone chargers or other accessories. Regardless of how you hook up the battery charger, you'll never get caught off guard without the juice you need to start your car. The amorphous solar panel is completely weatherproof, charges in all daylight conditions and has an integrated blocking diode that protects against battery discharge at night. The 50022 is the ideal choice for automobiles, recreational vehicles (RV), tractors, boats, electric fences, telemetry and more. It has a maximum power output of 5 Watts and 350Mah. With a maximum temperature range of -40 to 176-degrees Fahrenheit, this unit measures 14 x 0.75 x 13 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 4 pounds.
