Solar Lighting ……. technical info …please.?
I note that typical garden Solar Lights have the Solar Panel directly connected to the battery/light. What I would like to know is …… Is there a loss of efficiency/energy if the solar panel is remote ( say 2-3 metres/yards) and connected by electrical wire to the battery/light ?
No. You could move the panel away 2-3 yards without a current loss. Technical Info? Well there would be a very slight voltage drop, but probably would not be measurable in 2-3 yards unless you used a really small conductor.
