Yes. Think of it this way: The battery in your car is capable of delivering 700A to the starting motor. The 1/2A dome lamp is just fine while connected to the battery.Indoors, next to a window during partial sun my meter said 1.1amps I hooked up the fan and it was running at what felt like 100% This is the reason I was worried about connecting the fan outdoors in full sun. Outside in direct sun the meter says 3.4amps. Do I ignore the amps, and measure voltage while under load with the fan?
With no fan, the panel shows 9volt, is that open-circuit?
Thanks
Looking for some guidance with hopefully a simple question - I have a solar panel that generates 9v /3.4amps in full sun. I want to hook it up to a 12v pc fan that is rated at 0.88amps. Do I need a resistor or anything to prevent any damage to the fan?
Thanks,
Frank
