What will one of these panels power?

I have a small Jar fountain with led lights outside by my pool. Would this serve as a power source for it? would it have an outlet I could plug the fountain into?

Mine is powering a 12 volt light system in my house. I have RV lights all over the house. Sort of a back up but use them often to save

You would want to use this in conjunction with a deep cycle battery even a marine deep cycle like those sold under the blue "Ever Start" label at walmart even and a 10 amp or greater "Solar Charge controller" and a "ac power inverter" for running things like household AC lights/laptops/small appliances like blenders and coffee grinders and even short uses of a standard 700 watt microwave! Pending your geographical location (I'm in Oregon) I get about 35 to 45 amps of battery charge on a late spring through summer average sunny day.. (6-7 amps per hour) That's enough for me to keep my laptop running 24/7 and 3 or 4 8 watt CFL light bulbs in standard table lamps for 6-8 hours a day! You can add more panel and more batteries to expand your needs and to compensate for lower sun exposure areas.. I highly recommend searching the internet for a basic free "Solar how to and intro" page. and also a search about using and maintaining "Deep cycle batteries" (You never want to drain your batteries lower than 50% between charges) It all sounds overwhelming to a beginner but once you do a quick study you will be hooked! ~ Hope this helps ~ Nick

There are too many variables to give a definite answer. ie. Are you using an individual controller for each panel or one controller for all three? Have you considered back flow from one panel to another? How about voltage or amperage input to the controller(s)? Also, the 128 watts is an ideal, under perfect conditions result. Do not expect to produce this much power. They are good, useful panels, but I don't know of any panels which produce their rated power consistently.

This may or may not work,I recommend a larger panel as this panel only puts out about 0.7 to 0.85 amps under typical conditions.

we have to 120 volt panels hooked up to a 30 amp Sunforce controller. I should say for every two panels we have a 30 amp controller

Not well you would need like 6 of them. I would go with cheap solar panel and run the power to an inverter

You run the panels to a charge controller. These put out 3.33 amps roughly. If you have a charge controller that can handle 15 amps, you could run 4 of these together.

No idea in a solar panel use but they are 12v. So If the panel is 12v you may need to adapt it some how

It needs a voltage regulator to keep from overcharging the powerpack. I have the cheap 10 amp ($15) controller. Output from this panel can exceed 20 volts in strong sunlight.

Go with the 15 it will give you the option to add panels iin the future, the voltage can be adjusted to either 12 or 24

Its a 500 watt power supply you could probably google it. It shouldnt have much effect espically if you are already running a desktop.

I have 4 panels and I was getting this the other day. 283 watts at 20.7 AMP

3 batteries should do it, but to be safe 4.600 watts of panels to be safe. In theory you should need 2, but real world use is what im going by.

I am using the panel connected directly to a large, deep-charge battery, and it works OK. You can go through a controller if you are worried about overcharging your battery.

Yes you can. Depending on how long you want to run them & the amount of wattage you will be pulling out of the battery pack you can figure out how many panels and batteries you will need.

I use a 20watt panel and a voltage regulator. If you have a battery,you will need a solar regulator.

Only if you have a battery which you charged ahead of time which can power said appliances for the desired amount of time. This panel set could not power those items outright, you'd need a much larger set-up for such a task.

Not with only this one panel. This is (roughly) 12 volts x 10 amps = 120 wattsLook at your electric bill to see the overall kilowatts you consume. Also you must consider peaks, not just the overall usage. In California, solar installation companies and some power companies will help you figure out how much you need.
