How to increase solar panel amperes in four easy steps.
There are many ways to increase solar panel output amperes by yourself at home. Everbody wants to get maximum possible amperes from solar panels . There can be several reasons to that.
- Increase in solar panels amperes in inversely related to ROI period. Greater the amperes coming out of solar panels, ealry your money will come back to you.
- Other reasons may include that desired load is not able to run on solar due to low solar panel output.
- Or any one of your solar power system quipment is not giving its best.
1. Clean the old cable joints
One of the most handy ways to increase solar panels amperes is to look for old cable joints. They mostly get covered with rust or other salts when they come in contact with the atmosphere. Cleaning them properly can covering them with proper sealant can save a lot of amperes getting lost due to increase resistance. According to Ohm's law, current will be reduced when resistance is increased for same amount of voltage. I= V/R
2. Increase light on solar panels
One experiment done by a youtuber depicted that by increasing the incident light on solar panel can increase current upto one hundred percent. This can be done by using large relfectors on sides of solar panels. But this method can cause temperatures to increase which in turn reduce the output of solar panel . So active cooling of solar panels would be required. This method has proven that with active cooling of solar panel with fan or liquid nitrogen, drastic increase in solar panel amperes is observed.
3. Adjust the tilt angle
Again this method can help increase the amperes of solar panels. Tilt the solar panel at different angles untill the solar panel amperes are maximum. Adjust all the solar panels at same angle to increase amperes of all solar panels. It is also true that tilt anlge for summer and winter season is different but it is very difficult to alter the tilt angle every time.
4. PWM vs MPPT solar charge Controller
One of the most solar panel current limiting thing is to use a PWM solar charge controller. The best way to increase solar panel amperes is to upgrade from PWM charge controller to MPPT solar charge controller. In this way you can increase solar panel amperes by upto twenty percent. The best solar charge controller by efficiency is one by Vitcron Blue . One Youtube Channel name Solar Diy with Will Prowse has shown the live tests performed on all the available top MPPT charge controllers .
