can these be modified for 48V solar application

I did not use my on a Solar application it was use on an ATV and it works exactly as advertised. I can put a maintenance battery charger on the bike and when the main battery is charged it will connect the two batteries together and charge the second. i can drain the second battery and still start the machine with the main. i use a winch and aux lights on the second battery which will drain it pretty quickly however as long as the first battery is charged the UTV will charge the second.

I have the same setup with 45 watts of solar panels. I'm using 12 gauge wire, although 10 gauge will fit. No problems with 12 gauge here.

I don't know but I doubt they are made to handle 120 volts and would not use them for same.

Most likely not. For an inverter like this you'll need to connect them to batteries, and most solar chargers need a panel voltage higher than the battery voltage. You could, however, put your panels in series to increase the voltage as long as the combined voltage still falls within the solar charger's input specs.

Sharon usually a voltage reducer for 36 volt and 48 volt are interchangeable. if you have bought an 36 volt the descriptionwill have 36v.48v to 12v somewhere on package. With that said you will able to use the 36 volt on a 48 v system

Yes they can handle higher voltage but I would not go much higher than 12 volts higher voltage might ark and burn out .you don't know how large the contacts are and how far thay open apart.

The quick answer is yes! However, chaining them would technically double the voltage while keeping the current (amperage) output the same. As there is only a single connector on each panel, you can only combine their outputs using a Y-adapter similar to what you have suggested. I have done this with other solar panels of this type. While the output voltage would remain the same, it should double the amount of current. I would suggest the use of a charge controller on each panel ahead of the Y-adapter to prevent backfeed and maintain a steady supply of 12V power to the device requiring power.

Yes, it can. You may use any array voltage up to 150 volts, but be aware that solar panel voltages rise dramatically as temperatures fall. Check the temp. correction factor of the panels that you want to use. Basically don't go over a 90 volt series stack of panels to provide a buffer for when the panels are unloaded and to account for that surprise freezing morning. Over voltage is the surest killer of charge controllers, also be aware that the unit is rated 30 amps output to the battery, not 30 amps in from the panels. David Wardle

These bulbs are for use with a 12v or 24v system only, they are not for use with a 120v system

The current rating is what matters as you can use these at 115V as well as 12V. My application was 360W at 83V so I was running around 4.3Amps. We had no failures in multiple days (probably 20 hours worth or operation). This socket was being heated by the bulb in my application much higher that what you are planning so probably it will take 50W at 12V with no problem.

Mine has been inputting 24v for a year now, so I can vouch for the 24v. I believe the information with it said that it could. I can't recall the 36v or 48v however.

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.

Yes indeed. My unit was mislabeled and led to some confusion. I contacted mfg and they send replacement liable. it is no on 48V 6 8V system and working fine. Great customer service.

Yes they are 12 v supplied to s transformer that boosts voltage to 50,000 volts, ad long as you hsve a dry locstion for thr transformer and a housing for the xenon bulb , it should work fine,

I am using these on 11 outside solar lamps. BUT, I rewired the lamps with G4 sockets and ran 12 V low voltage wiring to them from a cheap 12V lawn transformer. So the answer is yes if you are willing and able to do that work. Is it worth it? I think yes, if you are willing and able. I liked the glass and metal fixtures in the old solar lamps, but the electronics and battery were junk. The fixtures however look as good as a Malibu set at a fraction of the price. And these 20W equivalent LEDs are so bright that they beautifully illuminate my driveway. I can provide more info if you wish.

Yes, I use two in parallel with a twelve volt hundred watt solar panel for power in my camper. I really like them and will be ordering more.

Sorry I dont know the specifics but I had my contract install these, twice. He purchased extra low voltage wire so we could expand it and we added addt'l individual lights from the manufacturer from Home Depot to add to the system. So I know it can be done and according to him pretty simple. These have worked out really well for us.
