Solar Panel Burn
Why is it that every time I buy solar panels, they are always duds?Several years ago, I bought solar panels from Radio Shack. The reason why those didn't work was because the amount of current (measured in amperes) was too low despite their size. Upon further inspection, the panels high voltage and low current meant that the resistance would not allow electricity to pass through the wire to the device.
Today I created my own adapter for a different solar panel, this one has a rechargable batter to store the charge and the current and voltage rates were much better. But for some reason, history repeated itself.
This charger even had a USB port to directly power the device. My hard work and ingenuity have been in vain efforts. Was the product defective, or did a careless postal worker abuse this package? Whoever or whatever is to blame, I will get to the bottom of what caused this device to fail again.
Failure is not an acceptable option.
