Solar Panel Voltage Increase ⚡️

[sheldondroid]

Hello,

How are y'all

I have a en energizer arc 120watt foldable solar panel. It's 4 large panels that fold into a brief case.

It says the max voltage output is 18 volts

However,

I got it to charge my powerstation and it seems like it's not working and my power station's input for charging is 25volts.

My question is how do I go from 18volt output of the solar panel to 25 volt output?

It comes with those pre-installed charging do-hickies.

Cheers

18v is the voltage at the maximum power point.

25v is the open circuit voltage when not connected to a load.

Rarely does an 18v ppt panel have 25V voc, usually around 22.

What are the specs on the powerstation? If 25 is the minimum input voltage, you are either going to need another one, or a boost controller that pushes the panel voltage above the needed voltage.
Likely an 18V input to a 30V output...
