The sensor is photoresistance (not a photovoltaic)... needs an external 12V power supply. Will it tolerate a range of 9V to 24V from pv?

datasheet is SLC-12VDC-SL-C, you're good from ~9-14 vdc. I use the battery/charge controller for power, not the pv.

I wouldn't recommend it. Most devices have a safety factor where you can exceed the supply voltage by some amount, say 10 percent, but digital electronics can be very sensitive to values outside of their ratings. Below 12 volts the sensor may not work well. Above 13 volts it may incur damage.

I fried a couple experimenting with voltages above 12V. The circuitry got very hot and failed. The lower voltages can be accommodated with the calibration pod. I have successfully powered it with a small solar panel with power ranges all over the board on cloudy days.

I don't know but it should be on 5V. I don't think it can run too long at 12 V.

i used 12 gauge from the solar panels to the controller and from the controller to the batteries i used no 6 awg i already had here The no 6 is probably overkill i wouldnt go any less than 8 from the controller to the batteries what is your battery bank at least 24v i hope

Your charge controller needs to be able to handle 48v input...Morningstar TriStar can, and the Renogy PWM 30 Amp w/LCD can also. Check out pvdepot.com and batterystuff.com-- both have good info for sizing your system correctly.

It can be power by either. (12 Volt power supply or POE). I get a great picture and I have the camera's outside and they have worked flawlessly in zero degree to 90 degree weather.

Did you mean the *250 W panel? If this is the case, then yes this panel is rated for 12 or 24v. However, in order to charge 12V systems you would need a controller that is suitable to charge enough power at 12v. For example, if you are inquiring about our 30A PWN, then the rated specs mention that at 12v is 360W so technically you would be able to use this panel with this charge controller. Be mindful, however, of the fact that PWN step down voltage while MPPT models utilize virtually all the power initially started by the panels.

Mine did not come with a power supply. I haven't tried 12v, but it works with a 9v battery.

Yes. It will work from 12v or 24v. Use a momentary switch or a rocker switch with it so you can turn it on and off.. or just hardwired it in and it will be on the whole time.

I have connected it straight to a 9v battery and it works fine. It's not as bright as hard wired to a 12v system, but it does work.

Hello I believe it is a voltage regulator only,I bought several of these and I did not see any thing more then just to regulate the voltage, and it works good,make sure the voltage regulator and the solar panel are both 12 or 24 volt as i burned my first 12 V reg as I bought and hooked up a 24 V solar panel and cooked it :(John graber

Their book specifies Max PV input power 12V/390W or 24V/780W. My PV output is max 18V at 21A. That is 378W (18 x 21 = 378) and does not exceeded their specs so I don't have any experience as far as exceeding the books specs. Going from a 12V to a 24V PV system will double your wattage without increasing your amperage however, in order to use that increased wattage without exceeding the 30A output current, you would also need to change to a 24V battery system. The output is rated at 30A regardless of the input voltage or amperage or battery voltage.

The output of the PV panel are 2 wires. You need to provide your own connectors at the PV panel leads. FYI, after placing the PV panel under the sun, we used a voltmeter to measure the output voltage. Under no load, it produces + or - 20 volts. I'm not to sure if you could put some type of rheostat between the PV panel and your device that you want to power to limit the output voltage to 12 VDC.

It just has a 110 connection, I suppose if you have a way to meter the voltage to the jump box, I don't see why not? I use land power, so I may not be the one to ask, maybe you should ask someone with "Solar experience"

Typical low voltage power supply range...I would think no more than 20 guage ...for 12 volts +-

yes but remember you voltage is close to max, my max with PV is 19.2, the meter works great. DS

You should have no problems with your setup.The Sun-600G starts working when it detects 22V.I have 3 units working without any issues for a year already.Good luck with your project !
