Can I connect this panel directly to the electricity? I'm from chile and we have 220V.

The one I had was 120 volt and it only lasted about 3 months and quit working.

Cut the cord and wire it direct. But the one I bought burned out in 3weeks so buy something else

I don't know how do you want to connect with 220v. If you use 'transformer' of course you can use it. But it is not gonna be fitted with just '220v gender'. I mean you need transformer that makes 110v to 220v for battery charging.

Vincent. Ground wire should be connected to the same ground as 110V line in the panel. Take care DN

Contact manufacture of your panels on what the output of both panels would be relative to your Volt/Amp requirements. It has been many years since I used Ohm's law! Good luck! (my connectors are still in the bag, as I had the same question,I received no response when I made my inquiry)

You can install the inverter directly to a solar panel but then you need to plug it into a cable and then that cable needs to be connected into you meter boxThanks, JEff

You won't want to connect the panel directly to a battery, as it could damage or overcharge it. The panel itself only provides a voltage, you need a charge controller between the panel and the battery. The one I used (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HWQZNQ/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) is not currently available, but should give you an idea of what to look for. You want a controller that can handle at least 30 watts and 17.5 volts input for charging 12v batteries.

Hi. You can connect direct to 110v . The light come with the 12 volt tranformer and have 2 wires to connect direct whith the connectors

Yes, you can do that. Bryan has provided a good answer to this question. Also, since the panels are 12v, you are limited to the grid-tie inverter selection. You'll probably need a low voltage, high current grid-tie inverter, yet this may not be UL listed.

Not , it easy i connected it directly to both cable of 110V it working, you have to eleminate the old socket,

Instructions say to not connect to any power source other than 120V - so I don't think so. You can try contacting the company - mthtrains.com

Directly? Probably not. The output from the panel is DC. It needs a controller to settle it to c. 12+ volts (to charge battery.) If your radio works on 12v DC you are set. If it runs on 110v ac you will need an inverter (DC to ac).

Yes, you can. I am using it over here at 240V, all I needed was to get my local 3-prong plug and used it in place of the one which they provided and it will work. There's nothing else you need to do.

No, you will need a 30 AMP Breaker to fully realize it's potential. This is of course assumed that you have 220V capability already.

i sisupect you can only if you have a converter. this is made for us voltage

I am no expert; but, I think that unless you had to have the 250v for some specific reason, it would be ok. Check with an electrician. I just use mine to power the panel in the event of an emergency, through a manual lock-out switch. I keep it in the original box, in the garage so that it is not affected so much by weather if it were to be left outdoors.

Unless you get a very expensive, sophisticated system, you will not be able to hook into the house electrical system. Most panels and windchargers produce 12 V DC. It has to be inverted to 120 V AC and still can't be connected to household power. For most of us it is best to just power certain things on solar and keep everything else on the grid.

You'll need a charge controller so the connection will be: panels>controller>batteries>inverter
