Hi, My name is Pete. I am a Vet. I live and work (volunteer) at U.S. Vets initiative her e at March ARB. We are a non profit organization, helping troubled Vets reintegrate back into society as productive and self supporting people. I am very interested in building many of these panels to cut our cost and if, sell some electricity back to Edison, God knows we can use some extra dollars to better our program. I would like to know who your supplier and his cost is. send info to 1spdpd@gmail.com

I had not thought of building a solar panel before, but sound like a good idea for some projects.

[davidrrrd]

i thought a broken one would still be the same volts but drop in amp's?

wouldent then your pannel be aprox 14v

[mixcatcom]

@davidrrrd Your right, the amps drop but the volts are the same.. each are .5 volt and there is 10 so its 5V

I tested it today and it showed 5.6v on the meter; I was thrilled.

All the best.

Where do you acquire the broken solar cells?

[mixcatcom]

@gregotd I buy them in bulk from an exporter.. If you need some let me know via email..

what you see in the video is about $1 per

All the best,

Great Job! If your willing to give away two of them I would attach them to our backpacks when we go hiking around on NM mountains, trails, and ghost towns. Would be nice to have the power for keeping all the electronics up and going all day. GPS, Cells phones, small radio stuff like that.

Again great idea. I will have to look for some old LCD panels to do that also.

@philipx2 Thanks for the post.. I will have to put some more together, great idea for the backback.

Stay tuned for part 2 its uploading now.

All the best,

[blade004]

[mixcatcom]

All the best,

the actual glass is what has the gel composite material on it if you touch it be sure to wash your hands really well before you touch your face or eat anything. usually 7 layers to an lcd you can use some of those layers of film as light diffusion acreens for in front of studio lights did you ever see those 10ft solar shingles i was talking about ? still considering redoing the roof of my house with those to take a little out of the power bill each month here.

[mixcatcom]

@daddytech Thanks for the post, no I just have 6 panels on the roof so far, I will do more very soon.

It really helped cut out bill down. Stay tuned for part 2

All the best,

-Pete
