is that a 12v powered aaa aa c and d cell charger? if so where did you get that from?

@Mavman27

Yes, it's an accupower. Works with 110/230 AC, also comes with 12v DC car adapter as well. I saw solar kits on the web bundled with this charger so decided to buy this one. Got this one off of amazon.

@indman101 i used to say that until i relised how few of my electronics where really ac. my netbook tablet and smartphone modem rougher are all dc devices. so it got a universal dc to dc charger that can change the needed volts and amps without inverting. eg my net-book is 12 vplts at 3 amps and my laptop is 19v at 6.3 amps.

well it has been two years since this video and instead of seeing solar panels and hearing of more Solar panels Companies on line selling more of them. The great hope for even More products. The company that our President gave a hugh grant to is now bankrup with the solar panel Company VIP's has Large Retairing funds Oh no jobs for the 800 employees with solar power training by US Gov Grants ???

you will need a pure sine wave inverter for most electronics,modified is fine for some power tools or basic lighting needs.

dwightinutah is right . definately practice light control . i have presized cardboard cut outs for our windows in the closets w black duct tape to help seal it better . also use the tape on any exterior light switches or remove bulbs or replace w burnt out ones . dont forget katrina . people who actually beleive the government will be there to save them tend to get a little antsy when they realize theyre screwed .

A very nice system for small power requirements. I noticed that you placed the solar panel in a place that makes it inconspicuous. Looters who see solar panels and lights on in a house at night will target that home knowing that the residents have prepared. Keep as low a profile as you can, especialy at night.
