Main Question or Discussion Point

Hi everyone,can anyone show me how the circuit looks like to generate 12VDC using solar panel from around 3 - 5V?

parames, Welcome to Physics Forums!

To convert the output from solar panel of 3 - 5 Volts to 12 Volts you can use a DC-to-DC converter integrated circuit. The most common is the IC7660. Go to a data sheet site and download the pdf data sheet, then check the application examples.

These circuits do not handle large amounts of power, so don't get your expectations to high...
