This panel can put out close to 100 watts ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
*Super compact and easy to carry and travel with accessories for the electric **Generater.Systems** .I was worried this was going to be bulky or hard to use.Hooks up easy and charges quickly*
That testing block... mind blown. you're a genius
This is by far the best video on self made Solar panels.
not really
@@HappyfoxBiz Why?
@TYRANNY LIBERATOR how does this have anything to do with the video or the original comment at hand? Might I ask what you have been smoking?
@@7XHARDER 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I looked through the internet for about 3 hours for a video like this, and this is the best video that i have seen on this topic, there´s no way you can fail making your own solar panel, keep up the good work, Thank you for the video
Geez you make it look easy but I know it isn't, I'll probably watch this video 50 times more. Excellent video!!
Good tutorial, basic but informative. To make your own panel nowadays with decreasing prices for ready to install panels with free shipping it only comes to custom fit and designs. Maybe something light that you can fold, and again this is widely available. Recently i discovered that you can pancake two panels on top of each other and slide them out underneath so it doubles the solar area if needed. This is especial useful if you install panels on a roof of a van. Motor-driven-mechanism of-course. By making rails at production stage of the panels you minimize the overall size of the panels sliding over each other. Basically you could pancake 2 and even more layers like a telescope. When a storm hits or heavy rainfall is minimizing voltage output you can retract all panels beneath each other and put some DIY tarp around it for protection, how cool is that.
What a cool idea.
Imagine that thing retracting in and out your truck like a conceivable top lol.
Slide them out underneath? What does it mean ? Can you share a video, I'm interested In learning that
Why not a panel covered awning for vans, campers, rv's?
I tried making this without the over all’s and it didn’t work. I bought some and tried again and it worked
haha

I totally understand with overalls its easier to hold everything and you can focus on doing it right...
Very professional video. I was thinking at first that the production of the photovoltaic cells would be included too
Wow. Great video.
I liked the thorough detail of explanation without rushing through the images or steps. Even your voice is calm and helps me to take it all one step at a time.
Great job!!!!
I’d love to see how you could put these on your house or roof.
High quality simple but efficient educative video.
Thank you
Feels like a 90's infomercial.
It's amazing how the prices have changed since this video first came out, its cheaper just to buy solar panels these days and get more wattage from them, but this quality costs and is worth considering!!
I'm not even into this stuff, but man is this video good. And the product placement is hella smooth, that was way before it's time 7 years ago
An excellent tutorial video with quality & safety standards piece of working. Thanks for sharing.
I suffer with REALLY BAD OCD but when I see YOUR SET UP I FEEL 👍 GREAT I really love the way u have all your stuff organized thank you for sharing this video with the world it means a lot to me
Thank you very much for all your hard work. I’m learning a lot! I hope that I can make one soon. God bless you, Patricia
Very intuitive and simple, it would have been nice to see the connection to the charge controller also but overall educational Thanks
I am a retired teacher and loved the presentation very much. And the music was awesome.
Super enjoyed watching! You are awesome! I'm so grateful more blessing to you!
Thanks Mate. Perfect tutorial.
Best DIY video I’ve ever watched!
Well done and explained mate. Many thanks.
Thank you, will try to make this with my family
Very useful, got more knowledge from this video. Thanks a lot.
Thanks please make these vedios in future also. Your method of teaching is great
Thank you so much for your through instructions.......Great job..
This was best video i ever saw, very nicely explaind, thanks
This video is perfect. It answered everything I was wondering. Thanks!
WONDERFUL VIDEO! Super informative!
This project is nice and encouraging ,more grease to your elbows thanks
Thank you for helping us save money and God bless you
Please do not measure Amperage this way. If you measure anything else this way you are going to short something out. Essentially what he is doing is creating another parallel path for all of the current to travel through with very low resistance. The battery he is measuring has circuitry inside of it that will protect him from that battery exploding, but if you short out the terminals of a battery like that, it can explode. Please look up the correct way to measure amperage with a meter if you are doing anything else besides this project.
But isn't he measuring the short circuit current of the cells and not a battery? and correct me if i'm wrong but I don't remember him testing any battery for amperage.
So basically you are admitting that your comment is completely irrelevant to this context, sorry but why did you comment?
@@cedr777 he did measure the "amps" of the battery in the small tutorial on how to use a multimeter to measure volts and amps. I thought that was a bit risky. However, when measuring solar cells, the short circuit current is pretty safe, save for a but of an arc when you first make the connection.
Uhhh...what BRAND are those overalls?
OUTSTANDING vid!! Informative, thorough easy to follow and well thought out.
YOU DA MAN : )
Mwen satisfè sa mwen wè a. I am really satisfy thank you so much. congratulations for the video.
Thanks for the wonderful video
Totally agree with you Hilary Latham
I’m building a lot of these on the top of my garage, and in an open area of open land in hopes to make some energy to charge my next car and just to make some extra energy to store in a back up for power outages. not much but it’s something to use.
Where are you getting your cells from?

Thank you so much, for study. 🙏🏼👍🏽
Thanks for sharing, awesome.
thank you so much Sir.
Wow, i didnt notice the 42 mins, I've learn something new, thanks, here's my subs
This is a great and informative video. Thanks so much for your clear instructions and the reasoning behind each action. 42:13
I leaned how to make solar panels
Thanks and kindest Regards

Very good tutorial on solar paner ever.
Great job and great information also
Lots of good ideas. Thx.
I join the stringers on the clear sheet so i don’t have to lift or move them.
I can't wait to get the next DIY on "how to make your own Fax machine under 1000$"
Excellent video
then: diy 60 watts for $200
now: 100 watt panel at your local home depot for $70
The price to make it your self hehe
@@ulti8106
just shows how much the technology has advanced.
It will continue to decrease as their is high demand for it.
Brilliant!
Excellent job.
Hands up.
Step by step,
Easy understandable,
Complete,
Thank you very much.
One question-
Need or not silicon filling between aluminium frame and acrylic sheet ?
I thing that the information is missing.
Please update.
Excellent video and very thorough. Why do the individual cells need spacing between them?
It's mostly to allow for expansion of the cells as they heat up from the sun and being in an enclosure. You want to keep them from making electrical contact between them if any contaminants (dust, bugs, mold) get inside the panel - especially water which WILL get in, eventually. Even the moisture in the air when it was made will condense on the inside of the panel if done on a warm, high humidity day followed by a cold night.
thank you so much! you did the perfect instructions. I subscribed, like and will share this video toturial to my friends.
The electronic music background is a real pain, especially to older viewers whose hearing is not as good as it used to be.
its not electronic
Great video. Clearly explained for everyone to understand.
Thank you!
Wow excellent video!
The video on the panels was great. I just wouldnt know what converter to use and so forth. Will you be doing one on how to take the panels and hook them up to be used buy a standard outlet. Any info on where to go from there I would greatly appreciated. Thank you!
let me know if you have gotten an answer or if you have found another video to do this
Thank you
Bro. This dude is THE BOSS.
Great, very instructional vid, helped me understand quite a lot of things. Don't mind the trolls.
thank you.
Thank you !!!!!
👍YES I YAH! GIVING THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, BIG UP YUHSELF.
great tuto, i was seeking how the flux worked mainly. Thanks. Unfortunately the tinyurl doesn't work anymore ...
so how do i know how large to build this or is 18 volts the average size
The string should produce 4.5v and not 15v that was shown. When is series voltages add up. Individual cell voltage was 0.5 v and he had 9 in series so 9* 0.5 = 4.5v . I am assuming that 15 v value was from all strings connected in series.
If you make all of your drill holes in a strip of wood, all your holes be the same. Just clamp the wood down on predetermined lines on each side. I use clamps that look like wide pliers.
I'm going to build a house next to nothing cause I don't like having neighbors.
Really good video
Do it yourself if you have a factory 😄.
You did a very good job 👏.
Where did you get these solar cells? Most I see are well under 3 amp at higher voltages.
Bravo mr
So the negative on front of the cell connects to positive on the back of the cells?
This is really good
I'm going to try this and when I finish I will build a wind generator and then I can say I know what I talk about
The link for instructions told me it’s no longer available, could you link a pdf to download?
Well-Done
Here I am buying Q cells 19% efficiency units, top of the line half cells from 2-3 years ago for $100/pop.
Y'all need to GET ON MAH LEVEL BOYz
How about a clear panel of lexan over your panel with 4 points of spring loaded shock absorbers @ each corner ,in order to protect the cells.
🙄cool..thanks! hadnt realised cell were sold seperately....cool. good video!
Is there a way to fix the short circuit with a solar panel? Mine is now producing zero amps although there is voltage.
That wonderful ,but where can we buy those materials and what is costs
very nice video, what is the silicon board you are using that is adhesive?
Muy buen vídeo, podrías entregar listado de materiales
Love your work very professional and keen to build my own solar farm lol jk I mean solar panels
How thick is the back panel that is used in the video?
Very interesting video on how to build. The links provided for the Tutorial are no longer available sadly.
Also it would be nice to have a link, on where to order for instance the materials (like the solar cells)
And/or an eventual costing price for the whole build.
Outside that, very informative and really well explained video.
Well done which is medium rare today with amateurs making videos like pros. However I have always thought when soldering you are to heat the metal of the bind and the solder to touch the metal to create a tight bind or you get a cold joint connecting which will easily break and fall apart when you heat the solder against the iron itself and let it drip as you show. Since the metal you are soldering to is also solder do you heat the whole connection line to get this type of bind after dripping the first run?
Hi having looked OVER VIDEO'S Is it ?
not a good idea to seal the edges of the photo voltaic cell's with mastic to stop Oxygen degradation ??
p.s Great video !!! very clear instructions thank you !!
Does the clear acrylic turn yellow in the sun?
Times have now changed...
I Just bought one 435 watt light weight solar panel for $135.°° complete.
can use it at home? with 100x 5W solar cells?
I am curious. Did someone build this actualy? How about the acrylic, will it get weak or bend in the sun?
How do you keep the plexiglass protected from the UV rays of the sun? That and hear causes plexiglass to become brittle.
Yeah, I looked into this about 15+ years ago. Amazing how prices have come down. You can get panels now for less than $100 per 100w delivered to your front door in days. Great video nonetheless.
Really ?
@@sayeedharem4673 You can get a 600W solar panel for $77 ... that's only $13 per 100W.
Ten of these 60W DIY panels costs $2000 .... 26 times as much.
Great step by step clip. Thank you.
Can you power something from just the solar panel itself.
Wish you included links for supplies!
