Hi all,
We are a non profit project based in portugal...
We are living on 7.5 hectors of land in the portuguese mountains...
The project here has very simple goals.
1) To re-plant and re-condition the landscape using organic non-harmful methods of permaculture.
2) To provide a sustainable source of healthy free food to local communities.
3) To teach (for free) sustainable skills and methods to all those who wish to learn.
4) To relearn, preserve and teach customs and skills of previous generations with the intent of keeping these alive for future generations.
In November 2011 we where donated 7 hectors of land close to the city of Portalegre. The land had been unused for many years and was simply laying to waste. *In December 2011 we moved onto the land to begin the initial stages of the project.
The project here raises no funds what so ever and relys soley on donations. *Our aim is to bring people together and create a positive change without the restrictions of the monetary system.
We have recently been donated 5 solar panels rated at 200watt and output voltage of 36v.
We are wondering if it it possible to charge a 12v battery from one of these solar panels even though the output charge is 36v? Would we have to stepp down the voltage to 18 volts first.. Any help gratefully appreciated...
Peace & love
