Hi,
I am wanting to use a small solar panel to slowly charge up a 0.47F supercapacitor that is rated 5V. My solar panel outputs up to 7.5V at max sunlight exposure but often is much less than this, and the current is typically very small. My question is: will the solar panel damage the supercapacitor when it is exposed to maximum sunlight as its voltage will be above the max rating on the capacitor even though the current will be very small? If so, why?
Thanks in advance...
