This video shows the output of the cells before and after installing wedges on the roof to change the angle for winter sun. The wedges helped performance, but the video is inconclusive due to the chemtrails clouding up the sky when performance would have maximized output. In summary, this project was about a week of work and around $500.00 cost for 2-300 watt panels. The first panel puts out less than the 2nd because of the learning curve in soldering tabs to the panels correctly. After soldering 80 cells I used a 40 watt iron and ground the tip for better heat distribution across the tabs on the second set of 80 cells and the tabs were perfect. I also used a 30 watt iron and adjusted the tip in as far as possible to raise the temp of the iron. If the 40 watt is too hot just loosen the tip and slide it out some to lower tip temp. Once I had a good flow of solder on the tabs it stuck easily to the cells. I would recommend anyone attempting this try to make smaller panels first and use tape on the backs to get experience cheaper. When your technique is refined build the expensive panels with proper glass, frame and encapsulation for long life panels. Whatever design you use always try to get as much heat off the panel as possible and never allow water or moisture to get to the cells.

  • @Darrell Yes, it just plugs in and whatever comes from your panels goes through the inverter and out the outlet. No batteries required. The inverter and a panel is all you need.

  • That is why I spent so much time explaining the difference between a grid tie inverter and regular inverter. The grid tie reads the sign wave of your house current from the power company or generator/battery backup inverter. It matches the sign wave and travels through your wiring and to any device using power. If there is no load on any of your circuits the excess power goes through your grid tie inverter and back through your wiring and out the meter turning it backwards for a time.

  • Would like to contact you to discuss the electrolysers that work most efficient for you. How can this be done without our email splashed across the net?

  • Steve I believe that the inverter just plugs into the wall outlet.

  • shoot it down lol

  • So If I understand correctly your inverter is tied right into your main breaker panel. I guess I'm confused on how the power can move both ways.
