Hi everybody,
I has this Arduino Solar Shield: Solar Charger Shield V2.2 - Seeed Wiki
and now I purchased 4 solar panel in order to connect them in parallel to the solar shield
Reading the caution sectionthere is:
The solar shield should not be operated at voltages greater than 5V
I purchased 4 solar panels Small Solar Panel 80x180mm 2W - Seeed Studio
And into the page description I read:
The typical open circuit voltage is around 5V, depending on light intensity. In those bright summer days with clear sky and big sun, the peak OC voltage can rush up to 10V. To prevent any damage to boards that accept a narrow range of input voltage, like Lipo Rider, it’s recommended to check whether the OC voltage is safe before any connection.
How can I prevent to burn the Solar Shield?
