10W solar panel to charge the battery

10W solar panel to charge the battery

Assuming an ideal 10W solar panel (100% conversion efficiency) in full sunlight (1000 watts per square meter), it would take approximately 1.2 hours to charge a 12-volt battery. The time required would be less if the panel was larger, or if the sunlight was more intense.
