[sunsensational]

lmao. love your comment. got some nice texture to it

[428ggg]

very nice wide shot champ, kinda got the feel of how big it was by you showing each panel fucking bravo

[19grand]

so what are the numbers? is it a pet project or a real method of saving money?

[juancarlosruiz1985]

Can you make a video showing use how you are building them?

I think I 10 with 2 more in the house.

[nx2overide]

how many panels do you have total??.. I'm trying to get to 1000 watts my self and i'm thinking about making my own panels.

[DIYPV]

I am working on 4 more I have 2 in the house that I need to hook up.

[shartne]

Dang that is the biggest DIY solar panel system Ive seen. Go for it! Your electric bill must be getting better.

New here and just want to say how impressed I am with your knowledge, inventiveness and skills! Thanks for showing us what you do.

You said, "I have one more summer then its all going on CraigsList :)". Frankly, a I shocked when I read that. Does than mean you'll be done with PV, too? I hope not. Can let us know what your next projects will be...

Highest regards,

Hello from Germany

Wher did you buy the cells?

Noha

@TheArchenoha

Thanks for your answer and your Abo

[vanhook2]

The count on the DIY solar panels is 10. You have a mix of 36 cell & 40 cell panels.

My questions are,

1) For the 10 panels, what was your cost per watt?

2) What is your average time to produce a panel?

3) What is the output of these 10 panel (in watts)?

& last but not least.....

4) How many E-bay GTIs do you have them tied to?

Thanks for the info 

[DIYPV]

@vanhook2 (1) about a dollar a watt (2) 7 hours (3) about 600w in the winter and 450w in the summer. (4) I have the home made ones on 2 GTI Power Jack 600w and a Sun 600w 24 volt inverters

[DIYPV]

@vanhook2 I am done with the solar I have 2 more home made panels that have never been out side and enough cells to make 4 more panels. I still have a about 5 treadmill motors on the shelf. I also have 4 extra GTI for backups. I am moving on to different toys. The solar is on a timer so I never touch it. I have 2/0 cable for the run and 2 gauge for all the inverters. I have one more summer then its all going on CraigsList :)

@DIYPV Rather than sell everything off, you should just ditch the GTIs and get some RV/golf cart batteries and some charge controllers (and remember to use matched sets of modules if you get MPPT controllers). With the greens attacking/shutting down grid scale electricity generation sources, a backup electricity supply may come in more than a little handy in the not so distant future.

@DIYPV think about this you like to do new project correct? they cost money. So as a savings keep this connected to your grid. this saves you money so you can do more or better projects.
