A 12V solar panel is designed to output at least enough voltage to charge a 12V battery under worst-case conditions (low light level, high temperature, etc). &#xA0;A 12V battery needs at least 13.6V to charge; therefore, a solar panel must output at least 13.6V under worst-case conditions. &#xA0;This means that a 12V solar panel may output around 17V or more in optimal conditions. &#xA0;If you plug a solar panel generating 17V straight into your battery, it is easy to understand how this can cause damage. &#xA0;Solar regulators are designed to accept the voltage from the solar panel and output a safe and useable voltage to charge a battery. &#xA0;&#xA0;
