Hi,

A mate gave me a solarex solar panel, but the label was worn off and I need help to ID it.

It is a 36 cell, 620mm square panel with a rubber back and an alloy frame.

Laid flat in the sun on Saturday in Adelaide it pushed out 20 Volts unloaded and 3.1 Amps shorted.

I just need to find out the approximate wattage so that I can get a suitable regulator. (and yes I know 20V x 3A = 60W, but what would it be rated at?)

Thanks also to whoever suggested using wheelchair batteries as a portable power source. I picked up 2 x 30Ah gell cells for $50 from a shop on south road. He even load tested them for me.

Thanks

Paj
