Can I connect a DC appliance directly to the Solar Stik™?

This is NOT recommended. Damage to the appliance or Solar Stik™ could result from a direct connection. The solar panels are an UNREGULATED DC power supply which has varying voltage outputs, and can damage an appliance if the voltage is higher or lower than the acceptable voltage input.

The Solar Stik™ is designed to work in conjunction with a 12 or 24 Volt battery bank only. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
