If you transform the solar power battery,  youll get more into your battery because it has more volts.
But I guess you dont need it because you just put your panel in series, anyway.
But I wonder if you put it through a transformer as well just get it maximum voltage possible (maximum psi) before you go into the battery, and more residuals will go through?

Wat? No. Nothing you wrote made any sense. I suggest you start from the very basics.

Nonsense, indeed. You'll need to route solar DC through a turbo encabulator before transforming it for maximum psi.  :scared:

You need to put the increased voltage  through an "original oscillator" before the transformer and then put the bigger capacitor in some form of rifle barrel for best performance (maximum psi).  Beware of the residuals leaking out though. ;)

"Putting" a DC voltage "through" a transformer. Refreshing idea. ;D

Yes, maybe a turbocharger instead...

Transformers and switching converters change the ratio between voltage and current without changing the power or energy.  Transformers do this for AC and switching converters do it for DC.

So the reason this conversion is done between a solar generator and battery is that maximum power is only available when the voltage-to-current ratio of the source and the voltage-to-current ratio of the load are equal.

This is equivalent to a mechanical transmission changing the ratio between RPM and torque or a level arm changing the ratio between force and distance.

Alright, you're taking a serious stance.  :-X

Well. You're right in making the OP understand conservation of energy. But "without changing" is a bit optimistic (it's of course true if we take the whole system into account, including losses).

Any real transformer or switching converter will actually eat some power due to losses, making things worse. So to be used only if really needed, otherwise they are just wasting energy.  ;D

I buy my transformers and switching converters from the same place which sells ideal operational amplifiers, frictionless bearings, and spherical cows.  They also carry prop wash, flight line, overhead muffler bearings, and left handed spanners.

Nice!
Do they sell regenerative turbochargers?

Thanks everyone for all the great coverage for an honest mistake.   Thanks for clearing it up for me rho.  :)
