| Oct 1, 2020 at 15:19 | comment | added | Matt | @Sanmveg A solar panel cant just provide any arbitrary voltage and current whose product is its power rating. So unless you know 50 V is the max power point the panel will provide less than 10 A max. | |
| Oct 1, 2020 at 14:03 | comment | added | Sanmveg saini | no, no... 500 w means panel's expected power production under ideal condition and the numbers that I mentioned were just random. @Andyaka It is totally fine If you point out any mistake, I will delete and change it accordingly. | |
| Oct 1, 2020 at 13:52 | comment | added | Andy aka | How does an open circuit consume 500 watts when there is nothing connected. How could switches ever work if the potential power supplied to one side naturally crossed over to the other side. | |
| Oct 1, 2020 at 13:47 | comment | added | Sanmveg saini | when you apply voltage to a load it consumes some current and power consumed is voltage times current and in your case it is 90 W. Your solar cell is of 500 watt. This means that if that solar panel applies 50 V to fan that that solar panel can apply a maximum of 10 A of current. Notice that it is maximum and your load need not to draw 10 A. | |
