December 4th, 2011 john t 25 comments

Home made Solar panel 18 to 20 Volts and 70 Watts DIY I hope you enjoy a short video showing my first home made solar panel made from a powerful chain of solar cells. The front of the solar panel as tempered glass and the back of the panel has PVC plastic joined by C channel for support. I also used silicon to seal the unit. Again forgive the shoddy camera work, all my good equipment I left at work. If you made your own solar panels I would love to hear some tips and ideas. I love the idea of powering my home from the sun using solar panels. Have a great weekend, -Pete Mixcatcom Mixcat.com

This is part 2 and covers the basics for beginners + The cells I am using are all broken cells I purchased for a discount from Ebay. They were all fully pre-tabbed cells. They are the long tab or fully tabbed NOT the clipped tabs. This panel will cost about completed and requires about 1-3 hours of work + resin embedding cure times which are best applied overnight. Part 3 will detail the embedding process and adding an optional blocking diode. How To Build A Solar Panel. Part 1 : www.youtube.com DIY solder foil: www.youtube.com

How To Build A Solar Panel – Part 1

November 11th, 2011 john t 25 comments

Watch in HD www.solartechtown.com I, Robert Smith, show you every step I take to building a custom made solar panel from scratch. I explain in detail about each item I use and why to use it, so the video is fairly long. I will be hosting the majority of the video on my own server so you can view it all in one take. It will take time to edit the video, but the more of you that subscribe to the video, the faster I’ll try to get it out to you guys as it just shows that people are interested and appreciate what I’m doing, as I’m providing this video for free unlike some videos you see on YouTube. The method I described in this video is just one way to go about it, however, there are many ways you can build a custom solar panel. Some use aluminum or plastic frames, but I found for a beginner, working with wood would probably be easier and cheaper. Overall, building a solar panel can be fun, but there are many factors that play into building a solar panel, and I as well still have an extreme amount to still learn about it. So I hope that for those wanting to learn more about solar energy and wanting to take the adventure of building their own solar panel will find this video very useful. To watch to full video just video, just visit www.solartechtown.com Again the video is fairly large, so to prevent from having to put 6 or 7 parts on youtube in 10 minute sections, I’m just going to host in on my server. If you all have ANY questions, feel free to leave a comment under the
