How many watts solar panel Do I need to charge 12V battery?
Charging your battery at 12 volts and 20 amps will take five hours to charge a 100 amp hour battery. By multiplying 20 amps by 12 volts, 240 watts is how big of a panel you would need, so we’d recommend using a 300w solar panel or 3 100 watt solar panels. What are the best conditions to charge a battery?
Can a 24v solar charge a 12V battery?
Yes, you could do it. They are usually designed to put out at least 30\% more than the batteries they are intended to charge. This works perfectly well because a PV module is (at a constant light level) a constant current device.
How many amps does a 12V solar panel produce?
When a 12V solar panel is rated at 100W, that is an instantaneous voltage rating. So if all of the test conditions are met, when you measure the output, the voltage will be about 18 volts. Since watts equals volts times amps, amperage will be equal to 5.5 amps (100 watts divided by 18 volts) . So your panel will produce 5.5 amps per hour.
How many solar panels does it take to charge a car battery?

How much sunlight do I need to charge 12v200ah battery?
You have at least 6 hours of peak sunlight available. First we want to see how much power do we require to charge the battery. 12V200Ah can also be written as 12V*200Ah = 2400WHr or 2.4KWHr. Since we assumed that battery is at 10\% level it means that we have to charge 2400WHr * 90\% = 2160WHr
