Here's my charging station:Why not 12A?
1200W is 10 amps at 120v. Charging at 12A(the usual 5-15 rate) would be 1440W (aka DOUBLE what these panels can MAYBE supply, in Arizona at noon in July)Why not 12A?
I don't refuse to harness it, I think its just REALLY suboptimal to do it with car mounted solar panels.Again you don’t know the future, I say someone will crack the solar market to make it viable for everyone and make billions. The sun ain’t going away, it’s right where it’s always been, sitting waiting with all that power. Only a fool would refuse to harness it
I realize now that my math was wrong. I was using 112W for a square foot of 'ideal' cells, taking every bit of power(both heat and light) that was incident upon that square foot of cells. That 7840 is wildly over the 1200W, so I was a dumbass on that too.That 1200W they are quoting is probably also a bit 'optimistic' at best. From https://gosun.co/pages/ev-solar-charger , we see the solar part of the panels is 43" wide, and the overall extended length is 245". Rounding the 245 down to say 235 for hinges and such, we get to 10,105 sq inches of actual cells. Divide that by 144 to get square feet and we are at 70. Multiply that by the 112W for a square foot of cells, and its 7840w. Full sun, properly inclined to catch it all. To get near 1200, they'll need to get more than 50% more output than that amount of solar cells can do. Sure, maybe they have 10% more effective cell coverage, and they are 10% more efficient, but there's no way whatsoever that that amount of cells is gonna put out 1200W continuous in full sun.
Welcome to post-fact society. Just keep saying something and feeling it real hard and it will happen!Or wait a few years when the panel drops down to the size of a small laptop and powers the car for hours while only being in solar exposure for 20 minutes
