Diode CONFIRMED! on Solar & Wind Power

I made a precise test to be sure. Using a multimeter set to measure continuity, I tested the solar panel. If you connect the wires across the positive terminal, the multimeter will attempt to power the solar panel. There was no successor! If I connected the lines differently (positive line to negative terminal), there was continuity. This means the solar panel has a diode that blocks current from the positive terminal (much like a car battery tries to charge this thing). Then it went to the 12V socket. Inside the LED and the resistor. THIS MUST BE CUT/REMOVED. Leaving it on overnight drains the car battery. With the resistor and LED removed, the 12V outlet will not draw current. I have yet to test this on a sunny day, so I don't know what voltage/current it will output.

Pros
  • Please note that the protective film on the surface of the panel should peel off. The cigarette lighter option will only work if it has constant power when the key is removed from the ignition. When you start the car, remove the solar panel from the car battery
Cons
  • No automatic
