Do I have to buy a power converter to use this? If not how do you wire it so that you can power something?

this is small solar panel and i'm using it to power a simple computer fan to test output velocity of fan. it works great and creates breeze, but i do not have any small battery storage. i hard wired it to fan and placed it in the sunniest area. it does not need any dc conversion. i use it only for dc and maybe a simple inline battery would create storage to run small dc device.

It only comes with what is shown. On the back are positive and negative leads. If you want to connect it to something you'd have to wire it yourself (i.e. Solder). The power settings are listed. You can solder to a converter or directly to a device.

It comes with no cords. On the back of the panel there are an exposed negative and positive nodes wich you can solder any exposed wire to. For example I wired a female USB cord to make a USB chrager. PS this is a good panel it's just lower power it works well charging androids 1% every 2-3 min but won't chrage an iphone.

You can just plug it in, the converter will only use what it can, I use this with 9V 3A to convert to 5V, the max current draw I measured is ~ 1.9A.

You need a power cord. It does not come with one but you can use thre regular powe cord.

No power supply provided. It requires a 120V AC to 12 V DC transformer / driver. You will need to figure the amount of amperage required based on the number of running feet in order to purchase the correct transformer / driver for your particular application.

I would presume you'd need a simple and inexpensive voltage converter [tranformer].

You will need an adapter for the plug, but that's all--no voltage converter needed.

Hi, deeply sorry for replying late. Mine came with a 5 Volt...1000mA (- o +)I don't understand why yours is missing the power adapter, but it shouldn't be expensive. You might find it in amazon or ebay for a cheap price.I hope you find the correct one, you don't want to burn your converter

you have to wire it...but that would be unsafe as it draws too many amps for use with an adapter plug

We plug it into a standard 110 amp house hold outlet. I don't think anything special is required to power it.

no, you need to buy a power supply and switch separately. This is usually controlled by an access control system.

actually, I didn't use it .because it works with electricity of 110 v , the electricity in here is 220 v so I need a converter to use it , sorry I couldn't help u

the one that came with mine was only for 120v you would need a converter or a power adapter for that voltage!

Not sure why you would want/need to, but sure, you could use a PSU instead of the supplied power. I have yet to use anything but the supplied PS.

You have to have a transformer to convert the power to 12v whether you use the plug or wire it directly. If you are talking about wiring it directly to a battery of some kind, you have to watch the voltage.

So it is really not quite do it yourself. You would have to install a 120 volt AC power supply? is that correct?

I do not use it this way. I only use it in my house with the provided AC to DC converter. Per information on the unit, the power required is 12 volt DC at approximately 1 amp .

The unit is a US standard 110v, so if your country's supply is not 110v you will need a converter.
