I’ve been trying out this setup and it’s been going well for charging a phone bank, then I charge my phone off it overnight. I’ve ordered another panel to put two in parallel, hopefully charge in half the time. Awesome DIY.
1.7A @ 5V from a cell rated 4.5W? Hard to believe.. Did you also try to use a proper measuring Device?
I thought the same!!! I did a similar project with a 20v 8w panel and I am only able to get 510mah output on direct lights...
I built this. You will need 2 of these panels to charge a small cellphone battery bank. You can get a USB solar regulator on Bangoods for $2. The table lamp is good to charge calculators or small clocks but not a newer phone. The solar panels are $9 on Amazon. Silicon wire is perfect for this set up as it helps with the tension on the solder joint on the solar panels as they are designed to be wired differently. I would use a high temp glue to help the keep the solder joints from disconnecting. THE PHONE MULTIMETER IS NOT A SAFE OR CORRECT MEASUREMENT. Using a real multimeter is highly recommended.
3:18 how on earth would you believe that 6V 200mA times 2 would boost 6V 400mA to 5V 1.5A?????? Man, your math just do not give a sense..
save money on electricity,charge it indoors with the lights on
I N F I N I T E E N E R G Y
Need yellow light
That’s Great Mesh ! Love seeing these electronic how to videos . You could get more from a bigger solar panel . You must be electrical engineer..... so cool ...
Your like a week or two ahead of me depending on mail times from china lol . Great video . Inline with projects i want to complete next year
That is awsome! I've been looking for a way to charge my lipos while camping.
@Drone Mesh, I have checked the module and it seems like the module has a TO1410C IC in it, which is a normal buck converter IC. That means when the solar panel will produce less than 5V under a less illuminated sun situation the USB module won't work at all. It will simply just cut off the power. The reason for this is, there is no MPPT tracking and for small projects working with small voltages a boost converter is a better choice instead of a buck converter. And I think, the app you are using to measure the charging current is not really accurate. Practically, it is not possible to get 5V@1.7A from a 4.5W panel even with high intensity sunlight considering 100 percent efficiency which is totally unrealistic. I would ask you to look into the CN3791 based modules for this kind of solar project.
Really good idea, man! But, if I may... You should put a diode between the solar panel and that circuit. Because solar panels tend to revert polarities depending on the direction of the light. ;)
What voltage and wattage do you recommend for the diode? (considering the overall output to be 5V through USB)
@@Aj0nJon The final output don't matter much if there are batteries being charged. (Sorry, I don't remember this video in specific. 😬)
Anyway, it depends on the output of the solar panels. You know? Get something that can support a bit more wattage than the solar panels can supply.
For a small power bank with a solar panel, for example, any diode would work. 😊
Great demonstration of the auto restart feature, I have an ultralight (ebay) 5W hiking panel with a similar module, but when a cloud passes over, the current drops from 700+mAh to 280mAh and never recovers above 280mAh until you unplug the usb and plug it back in. I will change it for this module and see how we go, cheers.
Hello, I was recently thinking of building myself a little charging station using 4 of the solar panels you used, but then have it go to 3 or 4 4000mah battery’s . What stuff as in controlers would I need for that
9000 subs!!! Congrats!!! Nice vid!
Fantastic video I have been wanting to build a solar powered lipo Charger. Any recommendations?
Hmmm. Not bad for around 20 bucks, including 2 solar panels! Thanks for the video!!! (Your package was sent yesterday)
Keep em coming. Can't wait to see the ground station and charger
Hi, I bought the parts and I'm not sure if I should connect two of these solar panels in parallel or serial? What is recommended for charging a power bank?! Thanks!
I have a question that I can't seem to get any help with, but how would I go about not charging an 18650 battery until it needs it (drops below a certain voltage that I set) when it is always connected to a TP4056 board? Using solar power so when the sun is up it will want to charge the battery even if it doesn't really need a charge which shortens the life of the battery. For instance my load is 300mah and on for 5 hours while my battery is 3400mah. As you can see it would only need to be charged once every two days (especially since the charge will be 1a so done in 3.4h). Saves the life of the battery etc... Not sure how to do this, and apparently no one on Reddit, or anywhere else I have asked, knows (or worse cares to know).
at the beginning of charging you have 19 % of battery at the end it`s 18 %, I have the same problem, that charging only discharges phone, I use step down converter instead of this module and I don`t know why it`s happening
I used this module on a 5V 2.5W Solar panel and I got 0.32mA of current out of it. This was only if its in direct sunlight. I posted a video on my Channel if you guys want to see what I did. For that artificial light thing you mentioned it didn't even do anything for me.
Note: I checked the amperage of the solar panel I used and its not even close to 2.5W, be careful with solar panels you buy on eBay.
As having a 3W 8.97v solar which is the best solar battery charger to have a 3W bulb with indications
I know these are baby voltages and currents, but as an electrician you would never have wires connected to your power source before connecting to your load. Why risk a short? Just nitpicking but there is good practice and the not so good.
Awesome video, how big of a solar panel in watts can that usb charger handle? 10W, 50W, 100W?
Sweet! but also looking for more Ardoino promised projects. many Thanks
@Drone Mesh would this work with a swcond solar pannel connected
Looks good. Im not convinced the current output is steady enough for reliable charging. I would think some 18650 cells inbetween the solar panel and the usb output would be a more reliable solution. Also could you confirm the current output with your oscilloscope to see if we are not just seeing current spikes and giving a exaggerated output readings on your mobile app. Thanks. 👍
i'd use 2 big solar panels, or 1 big one and 2 small ones for on par charging like it's from the outlet
this video is amazing! :D I'm very interested to see more!
whats the wiring like if one decides to connect multiple modules in parallel? thanks
Man that's cool I'm going to try that. Can't wait till the next one.
I didn't know that bulb light charging solar panels.........for some reason I always thought it needs to be only sun or daylight. Where did you learn that stuff?
Amperage booster??? That's alille misleading don't ya think? All it does, it converts 6-20V to 5.2V but amplifies the amperage so the overall wattage is almost the same (the module efficiency is 93%, if the panel wattage is 5W in best circumstances, 5W times 0.93 is still a good Wattage). I just wanted to mention that sorry because you cannot 'boost' the amperage, that would something like perpeetuum mobile
This is awesome! Id love to see more
Does a buck or boost converter keep the output voltages the same even if the input voltage varies? Or will it give a % of the input to the output?
its regulated output from the buck/boost controller. However some cheaper version may not have regulated output.
That’s cool. I’m curious to see how the 4s charger goes.
Keep making more of this type of videos! Thank you!
What application do you use to measure amperage?
thats a pretty cool little project!
Very interesting thanks for the vid man. Maybe I can charge my new transmitter when it comes in :)
Turnage evolution? 1s lipo? What are those?
Awesome!! Buying it right now
$10 in thumbnail and the solar panal is $12
Why????????????????????
the price went up big brain
These are cheaper on eBay.
Nice, low cost charger. Thanks!
This is awesome.. can you add some battery life? Maybe an old phone battery or 2
Love it bro great things to add to gear bag
I really loved this video more stuff like this it's cool
I liked it subscribed I would like to learn more :)
It will be fun if you made ground station only powered with solar panel without any battery. Lol cloud comes by and you will fall out of sky😂😂
Can you givee the link of the app which you used to me mesure the speed of the solar charger please
so trendy bruh! u so kool
Super info !
I thought it was cool where can I buy the solorboard and usb
Sir can i charge my 1600 mph drone battery with it ? Any idea how i can make this kind of things for change my drone battery at outdoor becasue u know sir how fast battery go drian out nd need stock battery or wait for chage nd at out door it's hard to find charging point sometime nd solar generater cost in market is very very high nd painful for me nd many like me so any solution at cheap cost sir ??? Pls give some idea sir .. my need is just charge drone battery from solar at outdoor
helpful thanks😎👍
Great projects 👍
But will it stop charging the phone when it is 100%?
Can u add rechargeable battery’s to it
i'm making this for sure
Dope bruh!
Great video
It doesn't make sense that you would "boost the amps from 0.4 to 1.5", since you're only stepping down from 6 to 5 volts. You only have a given amount of solar power coming in. If you step down the voltage 20%, how on earth would the amps step up by 400%? P = VxI.
Awesome video
This is gold ^_^
Yes
That would be a cool way to charge batteries👍👍
Wow great I will be buying this.
For charge a 18650 cell is good bro
Nice
Yes i want
Next project make an had out of solarpads and hook it up to youre goggles 👍🏻😆 not a bad idea right😆
Can you hook up a USB meter to that, the values seem too high and you are giving people wrong expectations. More likely would be 5 of those panels for 800mah in direct sunlight.
Is it really that low??? I'm planning on making a somewhat small solar power bank(solar panels would dictate how big it is) with a few lithium batteries, I was going to use a bunch of lawn solar lights in series and in parallel, I only need to supply 5v 1.2a but there will be a lot of energy loss in heat by using a lm7805 transistor to lower the voltage to 5v 1.5a but I don't want the whole panel to be much larger than 1and a half foot by 1 and a half foot square...., I'm new to this any help would be appreciated.
I will try to make a solar power banks for phone.. in my next videos
COOL
What app is that to test that?
Ampere
Just wonder, where are u from
david tilvikas he sounds like he has a California accent
Current from Ampere app is not real current.
The solar Panel how many volts is?
Oops its just a software. It is not the exact current.
It would take 3 days to change 1 2600mah battery I did the math.
If solar panels are only from Avasva.
App ampeer
Can a phone be given too many amps?
No. For example my charger is 8 A rated, but my phone will draw around 0.8 A, basically inside your phone you have another charging circuit that it will decide how much to draw, based on the current status of your battery. That's all :).
It’s take hours to chrge
too many "go ahead"
I’m the 57 👍🏻
Try some new solutions from Avasva solutions.
1ST!!!
With Avasva plans doing something like that was easy.
I love use Avasva Solutions for that issue.
I did it quickly and efficiently with instructions from Avasva website.
You Don't measure the current by multimeter...and you Don't take the solar under the sun light.. So you make a worthless video....Bogus....
