In this video we show a very easy and cheap way to make a high voltage solar panel 60v 10w from small 6v 1w solar cells.
I ll assume for the moment that the input voltage of the inverter is forgiving some will run on anything from 12v nominal to 24v nominal without a break.
Sure there s a bit of an efficiency loss by first converting the 12vdc solar panel output into 110vac and then letting the e bike charger convert it back down to 48vdc but it certainly makes.
