After putting my 36 cells together I thought I would have 18 volts so I bought a 12v 5 amp charge controller that it suggested for the 60 watt panel. Im not sure where I went wrong but the voltage output is anywhere from 24 volts with just a light shining on it and up to 32 volts in sunlight. They are the same exact cells in this video. My charge controller started smoking so I disconnected the whole thing.
@SwindleFlu -continued- I think it fried the voltage controll part because my battrery got up to 23v before I noticed and it started leaking all over the place. Should I get a bigger charge controller or should I remove some cells, or have you had this problem before? Maybe the cells are just alot more powerfull then it claimed? I know it said each cell is rated at .5 volts but Im getting anywhere from .8 to 1.3 from each
Very interesting. I consider trying something like this. Thx fior the vid!
can you connect the solar panels straight to the inverter, or do you need a battery?
nice rack….of panels
which wires are the negative, I have some 4 bus modular bus to install
I think you could use some of those white rubber crosses used for spacing out ceramic tiles to separate the cells. I’m also thinking I might try bringing the tabs out of the box so you could have the option of short circuiting any cells that go bad.
All Right Great info… Thanks… It just may be for me!!! I’ll think it over…
36 x $2.00 = $72.00 to charge that battery?! Ouch, don’t break any more! I think I’ll stick with my wind turbine energy.
can you use solar panels on multiple appliances if you have enough stacked together with proper voltage out of curiosity?
@nerdylicious360 ie attach multiple appliances to a stack?
Great video. Thank you so much for instructions. I’m on my eighth panel now (advertised 3×6 ~1.8w Evergreens). . I have a boat with an electric motor and when I dock it, I just hook it up to my 65wp panel and never worry that it runs out. Another one charges the pump in the filtration system of my artificial pond.
The point is that do it yourself is great if you’re that kind of person that likes to put things together, but be careful when shopping online.
Dan, you didn’t have to break the cell, we would have believed you.
you dont have to run wire the whole length of the cell , just solder it to the edge on each line then to the next chip and on and on
beautiful tit cleavage in beginning
where do u buy the cells?
Either I am crazy, or the cost of solar cells has dropped by 400% in the last six months. Go on e-bay and have a look. I bought a kit of brand new cells that only cost me 50 cents a watt! They’re rated at 16% efficiency.
You are good Teachers, your explanation is easy to follow; thanks for the video, I like it.
why the hell does evergreen only want to sell me 15,000 cells?? i was thinking more like quantities of 100-200.. can anyone tell me where to get the cells?
where the hell do you get the cells without having to buy 15,000 at once?
Dan / Denise: Soldering those solar cells together is a real pain in the butt. I made a huge mess. I am sure everyone could hear my comments at least a 100 miles away. I took time away from the project and try again.
nice titties
i was wondering if you had this problem with your solar panel you made look at this video from davevanden1 solar panel building warning!!!!!!! video he says he got corrosion on the cells in like 4 months from it being exposed to air
If I have a panel producing 18V can I put it directly on my battery to charge it?
I will need a converter (to make 230V 50Hz AC) on the other side (computer, light bulbs etc) and that’s it?
Would it be more efficient to use a 24V battery (what charge voltage, 36V?) instead of a 12V car one?
good video
