Solar powered node charging via WisBlock Base Board
A Li-Ion battery 3.7V 3000mA cell should be used. How much current should the 5V solar panel produce at its maximum for the board? There is no maximum to have on the amount of current the solar panel can generate. The current will be limited by the board, not by the solar panel. So take the panel that produces the highest amount of amps at 5V
