Im trying to make a solar charger for my iphone, (im an amateur with limited electrical knowledge)
I have already made the panels, i have 3 panels that produce 2.8v and 500mA each in bright sunlight, my problem is getting that power to the i phone without damaging the iphone, my first plan was to connect the three in series (8.4v) and use a voltage regulator (radio shacks 7805a +5vdc voltage regulator) and connect it to a usb connector. Will this work? if not what will? thanks for any help.
