How we use it.
The output from the controller is 12V DC. This amount is so convenient
that we can utilize many electrical devices of cars. A cigar socket is
an easy exit device which is just like a socket at home.
We connect a female type of the socket (the leftmost of the picture below)
with a charge-controller. Then we simply connect USB output socket with
this. Then we can charge phones and turn on LED lamps. USB output has two
kinds as mentioned before. iPad and Tablet are recommended to be charged
by USB 2.1A because it takes to do sooner than by USB1.0A.
From the cigar socket, we can also use LED lamp which is shown right in
the following photo.. This is very energy saving and consume only 1W. Then
although it is on all night, we have little consumption.
The below photo shows a Li-ion portable battery, double exit cigar socket,
and LED lamp from left to right. If we charge the portable battery, then
we can charge phones anywhere and anytime.
Moreover, we have other gadgets.
In the photo below, next to the controller, that is U3/U4 battery charger. The USB terminal on the top is seen. Next to it, there is also a camera-battery charger.What is next? We want to watch TV. Usually TV sets are run by AC 100V-230V
from the grid. A liquid crystal TV set normally consumes 30W or more. Additionally
we take account of loss of conversion from DC to AC while an inverter is
used for AC TV set. In this case additional battery and panels should be
needed in order to strengthen the power..
Therefore practically I recommend the appliances run by 12V DC. In future
there will be 12V/DC TV set for off-grid.
The right photo shows USB light. This is also made from LED and is enough
for reading light at night.
This is 400lux as lighting power, 1.3W.
