Harbor Freight Solar Panel Trickle Charger Part 2

Originally published July 13, 2012

Harbor Freight 1.5Watt solar trickle charger part 2.

This time we managed to get 80 mili amps @ 24V out for the panel, which isn’t too shabby for a trickle solar battery charger. We still came up shy of the advertised 120MA.

Harbor freight provides a cheap source of renewable energy through solar power with this multipurpose solar panel.

There are countless similar solar panels and trickle chargers available on the market. This one falls right in the middle of the pack, and for $20 it serves its purpose well.
