Can i use 12 v solar panel?

[Markus9065]

Yes you can, however you would need to use a 5v voltage regulator, (7805), to prevent over voltage and possible damage to the phone and/or battery explosion. To be honest the diode being used will work fine to prevent damage to the circuit, but when you step up to a 12 volt circuit, you must use the regulator.

Can I use 3 volt solar panel

[MichelleW130]

where did you get the female esb socket with the wires, did you just strip one out of another machine?

[skipthompson81]

great job, except a really close pic of the wire to panel would be helpful.

did you not connect to the wire running across the front?
