Your design team is analyzing whether solar panels can provide sufficient energy to run the buoy’s electronics. For this design your team selects a 6V @ 333mA (2W) Solar Cell and a 3.7V 1200mAh battery. Because the solar cell, battery, and electronics operate at different voltages, regulators must be applied to the circuit to ensure the voltages are compatible. Assume the regulators are 90% efficient. (A) how many hours of daylight are needed to charge the battery? (B) If the buoy’s electronics are supplied solely from the battery, how many hours will the electronics operate if they draw 200mA continuously?
