underwater solar panel (part 1)

I created this video to find a better and cheaper way of making a homemade solar panel that would be water resistant. These test are for my underground solar stand.

I have seen on other you tube videos the problem of condensation in a closed system like this. Do you plan to vacuum seal or use a displacement gas? As I understand it, any water next to the cells will cause corrosion over time. Just a thought.

@markallen200 I think that I will have a good seal that should be air tight. I will know in my next test when I drill a hole in the glass and seal that up and then put it underwater for another week. Thanks for the question, Lonny

Large size Reynolds oven bags...hard to tear ,wont melt up to 450F..just wrap the panel or regular bags and vacuum seal end will melt it shut.peace

Nicely done.

I'm working on a solar project myself only with a steering mirrored skydish instead of photovoltaics, nevertheless I have gears, circuits etc that need waterproofing at low cost. I like your style but I think you need to work more on your waterproofing. Perhaps silicon sealant? I'm subscribing to your channel and I hope you find the answer. Please have a look at my project and I'd like to hear what you think about waterproofing this: /watch?v=BAWLjqMiulo
