    The document provides calculations for solar panel output and battery usage. It first calculates the current output of a 12V, 5W solar panel as 420mA. It then determines that an 8Ah battery would last 19 hours with that 420mA charging rate. A second calculation finds the current draw of an 18W device running on a 12V battery is 1.5A. Finally, it's shown that the 8Ah battery would last 5.3 hours powering that 1.5A device.

    SOLAR PANEL CALCUALTION:

    VOLT = 12 V

    WATT = 5 W

    W=VXI

    5 = 12 X I

    I = 5/12

    I = 420MA

    BATTERY CALCULATION:

    BAH /CI = 8 ah/420ma

    = 19 hrs

    To find the Current

    Watt = 18 w

    Volt = 12v

    Current =?

    P= V x I

    18 =12 x I
    I = 18/12

    = 1.5 AMPS

    BATTERY USAGE WITH 1.5 AMPS

    BAH /I

    8/1.5 = 5.3 hrs
