DIY Solar Panel 2

This is the final part of my Solar Panel DIY job.

You'll need:

Solar Cells (The 0.5 volt / 3.6 Amp type)
Soldering Iron
2 x Perspex sheets at least 3mm thick
EVA material
Araldite or silicon sealant
Heat Gun / Hair Dryer
Material for making plastic or wooden 'beading'

This part will be covering the EVA application, making the 'beading', perspex fixing, environmentally sealing, confirmation voltages and the grand unveiling :)

Please Rate and Sub for more videos :)

Cheers for the help with this Gil :D

Thanks for watching

Cost for all materials was approx £40.

wood and plexiglass don't work

@diypowercompany

Erm, yes it does.

[yourradio]

this panel wont last because there is wood in the equation, air will leak through and corrode the underside of the protective perpex layer

[WatchRyder]

@yourradio

Yes it will because the wood is environmentally sealed ;)

Nice try dude, but It's still going strong... :)

as a follow up. how long did your panel survive? did it handle water? any design changes?

[WatchRyder]

@actselectric

Still working, not done any follow-ups due to other work projects.

@jubbles2343

Approx £40 for one :)

[jubbles2343]

probably already had people asking you this but how much did the total cost of materials come to?

very interesting to watch, I am considering having the entire of my roof covered in solar panels, some companies will come in and do it all for you so long as they get any power that is produced and you are not using.

Very useful to know if the shtf

@WarfareAce

[WarfareAce]

Great job on the panel! It generated more watts than I expected on a cloudy day.

@uraijit

Approx £40

@sirmasterpimp

Well said that man :)

Yep that's the plan, two panels in series for voltage charging of a deep-cell battery.

Possible two more in parrallel for amperage boosting :D

[sirmasterpimp]

Nice panel man, now all you need to do is make another one and run it in series......should make a 60 watt or so 12 volt panel once you do.
