Robert thank you so much for teaching us. You are great! You built the panel in a manner that most of us would in terms of learning as we go, simplifying each step. Your lack of sophisticated educational techniques is what has helped so many of us to actually learn to build a solar panel. Please keep teaching. Many in the world would appreciate some electricity.
Questions: 1) Could you have glued cells directly to the treated plywood? It looked like the peg board was only used for the holes the use of tile spacers? 2) Did you paint with white for any specific reason? I know white would be coolest as a reflector of heat and black would be hottest. GREAT series!!! Watched all 15 parts. A lot of time and editing! Good job!
i want to build a 270 watt panel i know that my cells are 1.75 watts ,and 0.5v ,143 ohm 3.5 amp i am having troble with starting to figure out my volts as my starting point so my know,s are 270 watts and my per cell info can you help
If you build a 77volt panel, you dont really have anything you can use it for. what you can do is to build multiple panels for charging a 12volt battery, and then use a >270watt inverter to power your applience (stereo, computer etc..) on120 or 230v, or whatever you need.
if you build 4 of the63w panels Robert just made in the video, and then connect them to each other in parallel, then you get 18v, and 315 watts. (more is better) Then you need a power manager able to handle it.
I'm an electrician and I learned the Ohm's law equations on a prayer wheel, but your pyramid is a far easier way to remember them. I've just watched all of your videos up to this point in one sitting and I'm not finished yet. You're doing a good thing here. I was looking for some DIY solar panel info and you did not disappoint. Nice attention to detail. GJ Thanks
Wow I could have just watched this vid instead of paying that money for electrical school..

Me too! That program offered by the site:
GreenEnergyNow.info
helped me saved from bankrupcy. My electric
bill was as high as our mortage.Now we've
cut it to 15% and its getting lower each month.
Thanks to it. Highly recommend this to all!

Hi Robert, i got lost in this video. How did you know that it produces 63W and 18v? Thank you

@fybelectric
Well to produce 270 watts, if each solar cell is rated at 1.75watts, you are going to need 154 solar cells.
So since you know each solar cell is rated for .5v, you can just do the math which is:
154(solar cells) x .5v = 77volts if you are hooking it up in series

Thanks again Robert. Now I know I am gonna make an "A" in 101 solar by Robert.
You are a teacher and a dar n good one. Man you are going somewhere and we are following you. May God Bless you and keep it up.
