How To Build A Solar Panel - Part 12

[LOPEZdJUNGLIST]

shame its not sealed least it still works

[eliden]

7:58 did he say he used 20-22 guage wires?

[tramlawmamoru]

I wonder if placing some silicon grain packets in the panel would help with moister control?

you don't have to find the stud on the roof, the roof under the singles is ply, or ship wood, and would secure with more strength then you'd ever need, good job tho, have been watching all the videos, you should have put black tar under your l brackes before you screwed them into the roof to prevent water from leaking into your house

keep up the good work

Thanks for the video.

For anyone else who might be checking this video out. // The comment below (an Ad actually) from "checksummemedchest" for a website where you can check out the "LT-MAGNET" device. Beware. The product is a complete scam. No, I am not a rep. of Big Oil ... geesh, How naive do these people think we are?!?

that is pressure treated 4"x4" post and those are trusses or rafters.... i would have used 2x4 and sink 3 1/2 inch screws into it. I'd run the wires somewhere else too.

nice videos man! i order my solar cells online and i got all the wood and class fro mthe garbage around the neighbor :D only bought the sealant

[NiallMcCloskey]

hi robert, im finking about following your videos step by step just as something to do in my spare time. i understand everything your saying and i understand the general theory of electricity and solar panels as i am currently an apprentice marine electrician and am studying electrical engineering in college. the only question i have to ask you is.. where did you mount your battery? within the shed? maybe the corner? lol write back if you get a chance. chears :D and good job on vids

[checksummedchest]

Free energy has been here all along ,But the powerfull Oil business won't alow common ppl to know this,Find the real deal, a free energy device at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the revolution!

From the all the wind, Sounds like you need to make the best of it too. Am I feeling a detailed windmill guide next??? Yess please?

I bought a 3 panel solar kit off eBay, it came with a metal frame to setup on the ground. I used 1x4 pine boards to mount them on my roof. I painted the wood white to accent the panels, and to preserve the wood. They're still up there 3 years later, flush and tight to the roof, and the metal frame I never used. To each his own, good luck!

[Bobster986]

Too much wood, those 4x4's are not really needed, but great video!

[MASSIVE100]

@Bobster986 when u say the wood 4 x 4's wasn't needed, could he have just attached the solar panel to the roof the same way he attached the two 4 x 4 's ?

[skonkfactory]

You should really replace that 22 gauge wire with something heavier- you will be losing two volts in that!

[ninja1507]

Looks like its melting lol Great video (full comment will be in final video)

[pjprz8]

I was going to give you from one to ten a ten but after watch all the videos I give a

100.Good job Robert . I learned a lot from it.

[sirmasterpimp]

Great vid man, I am thinking about mounting my panels to the roof one day. One of my favorite parts of the video was the bird aka jet fighter taking off at 4:08......It was like "Swoosh I'm outta here" LOL

[tedohho]

Nice job Robert. your are very detailed and thank you for all that you have done to show us.

[skippy3840]

Robert, really cool. How is the plexiglass cover working out? Any more condensation? I decided to use glass on mine. Check my videos out.

[edstar83]

marls10191 ... knock knock anybody home?

[gerry5757]

Nice job Robert!  This is a great set of videos, thanks for sharing.

[RobertSmith3]

If you did not notice, there are "Parts" to the whole video. So obviously at part 12 you would be looking close to the end of the video which involves mounting it to the roof. Try starting at "Part 1" if you want to see the process of making the solar panel itself.

[Martintfre]

Id consider sticking a shingle piece underneath the shingle above the L Bracket and lap it over the bracket part on the roof just so water has a run off over the bracket rather then a place to pool and later run down the screw holes.

Those shingles will expand and contract between winter and summer and maybe open up the screw holes just enough to be annoying.

[virlusun]

This is good idea to install it on the shack, that is what I am planning to do too.
