DIY Solar panel: Part 1
by admin on Sunday, October 23rd, 2011 | 43 Comments
Just wanted to show the progress is my solar panel project. I received a new flux pen today so I spent some time soldering the cells together. So far so good. Edit: I purchased these cells off of eBay….

i DO NOT SEE WERE THIS 2MD WHITE SPOT IS THAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING WHY YOU DID NOT SOIDER???????????????
I bought a flux pen like this, how do you get it working? or open the pen?
i was curious on why you only soldered to one point on the back instead of both of your positive dots? if for some reason you cell breaks in half horizonally you are going to lose the bottom half of you power output for that paricular cell.
Good clear basic language I can follow so far… will look for follow-ons.
Good to see this going together
where do u purchase this solar panels?
Could be a scanner i suppose. But with enough Cells together you could power either of those in the field.
I heard an amateur radio in the back ground. Whats your Call?
I like your video, shows how patient a person has to be at its construction.
Once you have enough cells together that work, you have it encased to protect it, what do you do to hook it up to something, like a fan or recharging something?
thx
well done mate…

sweet video! I have been looking for something like this for awhile as opposed to the BS videos you mostly see on this subject. keep up the good work.
If you try it? I would be interested in your result by any chance
ebay again! Search for tabbed wire for solar panels…..I acquired a few spools.
Where did you find this flat conductor you used for tab material? I can’t find it anywhere (and maybe I am misunderstanding what you used). Thanks
You know I never thought of that.
It cant hurt to try right?
Thanks for the videos keep it up. A question is , istnt it better to also solder the second white spot on the backside for better amperage?
@london1817 Uh… I’m used to calling them fluros. Not really a bulb as such.
@onesexymonkeyful mine are CFL’s.
DC Light Bulb… WTF?
LED’s are polarised… But not a light globe?
@nxadmon haha…very funny!…lol
@london1817 oh congradz. I didn’t spot a wedding ring, so it must of been after this video. I hope your wedding was powered by solar energy. :]
@nxadmon very……but she’s screwed cause she married me! lol
Does your girl friend think your weird?
folks can save on the DC/AC power inverter by using old UPS from computer. Check the channel mrmoneyhustler for details
@MyRepresentativeOrg He’s got other videos man. It’s a Harbor Freight system, like 300 bucks.
@RodentEntertainment neither…..just rednecks…thanks though..lol
u guys should sell the whole kit ??? your like scientists or tweekers lol good job
Silly! Tons of components to run only a TV and a couple of lights. Failed to show the number of Solar panels and their cost. The panels appeared to be in the shade, leaving the sunny portion of the roof empty.
@yzerman1997 Thank you my brother.
Good job brother.
@yakslawncare No problem…I am here if you need any solar questions later on in the future!
Thanks for the comment!………..Rick.
hay rick. thank you and your wife for all your help. i been looking for good ideas go start being more green. i have looked at alot of your videos. im about to put in a water system and solar system. all small scale so i get a feel for it. i dont think ill have any problems with the water system. but may have a few questions with the solar. so just wanted to say thanks and more solar and wind power info would be great. thanks
@cheapsolarpanels1 I need to do another one soon…thanks!
Thanks for showing us the update…
dude, you should make enough electricity to power some other houses in your neighborhood and the power company might pay you.
@hermancando Well…I am a jackleg electro-magician….. almost…haha..thanks for being great!
You should hook you something up to your house …no worries man!
i spent a year at austin community college ( two semesters in their photo-voltaic course ) and im a master electrician and I havnt had the nerve to try it yet–from what ive learned about solar –your on the right track all check back in to see how you do –good luck
i like the system your putting together–
@hermancando Im trying man…Im trying!
nice start –keep it up–
@Woodogg18 Thanks! I am trying!
