Solar chargers for cars are becoming the most probable choice for powering cars and this is perhaps due to the convenience they create. As you drive, the solar charger will be charging your car battery and the best thing is that as long as you connect your battery to it, your battery cannot die simply because the car has not been driven for a while.
The Most Recommended Solar Chargers Are:
- Go Power! GPDL-20 20-Watt Self Regulating Unbreakable Solar Module
- Sunforce 60-Watt Solar Charging Kit
- Brunton 26 Watt Foldable Solar Array
- HQRP 20W Mono-crystalline Solar Panel
Use of solar chargers for cars is both economical since you use the sun which is a free resource and also environment friendly. To benefit more from your solar charger, just make sure you place the panel on the windscreen where it can receive the sunlight well. To connect it, there are crocodile clips provided that you can use to connect directly to the battery or via a cigarette lighter socket. A solar charger for your car should be powerful enough for reliability and this means its power output has to be very high.

I am working on building a street-side shredder for unwanted mail items. I want to use a solar panel to charge a 12 volt battery and in turn the 12 volt battery will operate an inverter. The unit will house a (120 v) paper shredder (operated by the inverter) and I want to use the paper shredder once a day for enough time to shred 3-5 pieces of mail. Could you recommend a solar panel, battery size, and inverter for operating my street-side shredder?
Thanks!

It depends on the charging hours of the battery. I suggst you use 2 batteries one works and the other stay in charge. Actually solar charger may require some hours to fully charge a battery. Consider also your daily energy consumption. Sun should not be a problem where you live
