Hey Ben- looks like a great project! That should help take care of a good deal of fuel for your car!

The batteries I will be using are "leftovers" from my electric car project.

$1.50 pr watt, WOW!
that store should have some info on matching inverters and charge controlers, ECT..ECT..

@BenjaminNelson Damn that's cheap. Im saving up for batteries for when i finish my conversion.

I would cover my roof just for the looks of those things!.. x)

ya I picked up 100 of these

the price of solar panels has collapsed with the economy and also there are a lot of new panel makers coming on line in China that are very good quality. Before the Japanese made the best panels but they were extremely pricey. I bought some Ramsond panels off of ebay and they are very good panels that I got for half price. The amorphous panels will give you more power on cloudy/dim days.

wow they are so inexpensive ,how come usually a panel this big should cost 700 $.
Awesome video! I'm thinking about using these panels for a purely grid tied system. If my grid tie inverter is rated with a DC input between 10v and 28v, would it work for me to run these panels in parallel, and then through a 24v charge controller which would be hooked up to the grid tie inverter?

@qcages
These are essentially 48V panels. You need a charge controller that is designed to work with 48V systems. You could use a DC/DC converter to go from 48V from the panels to 12V for your inverter. Otherwise, high-end grid-tie inverters often have very high DC inputs to them. Some of them can take up to 600VDC, so all your PV panels can be in series and run to the inverter.
