This panel can put out close to 100 watts th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
I absolutely love your videos. You are so good at conveying concise knowledge, and still you are completely thorough. Thanks for these videos. Learning so much right now.
Thanks a lot for the info. . Im from the philippines and my town is small and we almost always get no power for that reason i would like to go off grid with solar power. I will check out your other videos as well... again thanks, you might have just saved me a lot of hard earned money.
Don't joke! ;-) We are almost settled, just waiting for a monitor for my main PC so I can produce the first video from the new lab...this laptop does not have enough horses. Thanks for the post good man! Cheers, Martin.
maaaartin i'am a Solar Power engineer, and i learned a lot from your extremely simple and deep info involved in your so helpful series......go on and you'll find me a permanent follower thanx
I'm trying to find the best combo of panels to power off grid a small rv...I think I'd like to try and do everything with 12volt because so much of the rv stuff is built on that platform including the fridge and ice box...do you know of anything that will power the A/C units and the rest of a small RV off grid? I've seen them for large houses and those arrays are 70k USA!!! More than the RV would cost by a factor of 10 easily. Any ideas? Great information in your video...doing a great service!!!
OMG LOL. Who thought this was funny " Are you going to power your home with artificial sunlight? No your going to use sunlight." I'm sorry, but that was just hilarious to me. The way he said it, the timing, the circumstances in which it was said...just loved it.
Hi, superb videos. I am having a free 3kw Solar PV system put in soon on a rent a roof UK scheme which is great as I have no money but I won't get any payment for feeding into the grid and I obviously cannot afford a battery bank but I was looking for some gizmo that could for example detect when I am feeding a preset level into the grid and then divert this to my water heater or even a small 700w room heater. Any ideas? I see Owl have a monitor but don't have any o/p's for switching.
What do you recommend for someone looking for power for a small building maybe 20 x 20 feet running 1000 watt lights and fans? Also do you recommend panels or installers in the US?
Just get a panel and a separate MPPT charger, and place the charge controller by the generator, you only have a single cable to connect in any case. Place the controller in a sheltered position so it is protected like the genset, keep it dry and away from exhaust and it will be fine.
What we have here is a thin film amorphous DuPont panel with a 130 Watt 150 Volt. and it had line not just like your... is it the same quality or rating as yours???
i am a DYI person and i will like to have a solar panel in my house in Nigeria, i would like you to please make a video on how to install one with a grid tie inverter thank you
Hi, I'd really like to know how you size an off grid system depending on the consumption of a house. With my bills showing 900 kWh used per month and 60-70% of this used between 4 pm and 9 am. How do I get solar panels powerful enough to recharge batteries used in the evening with 4 to 5 hours of sunshine the next day knowing that the 30 to 40 % remainder is used while trying to recharge? I live in Joburg and I'm blessed with a lot of sunshine but I'm still battling to figure this all out.
I just want to run an Aircondition unit ( 1 and a half horse power ) for 24 hours, using off Grid solar system in the Philippines. How many Panels I need to prepare, how big is my Battery Bank should be, and how much amp do I need for my battery charger. If you could give me the right computations I really really appreciate it, Please advice and more power to you.
thank you Martin! may i know in what particular series i should look into? see am in the philippines and recently hit by a strong typhoon and just browsing the net in a computer shop so i dont have much time to go through all of your vids, sorry..
I was fortunate, the investment did help make our home stand out in the market and thus sell easier...and my installation was done at cost...so I managed to make up most of the capital. I will cover ROI on solar in this series.
My inverter have 2 + 2- coming out of it . I have 1+ 1- hooked up to bat . should I have 2+ 2 - hooked up to my bat ? If yes how should I hook up the other +- to a different bat or the same one ?
well actually i'm planning to install a 200w solar panel but i don't know what kind of grid tie inverter to use i mean wattage of GTI.. i consume almost 340kW per month but i just want to lower my electricity bill.... im here in the Philippines..
Good morning is my Solar panel is 30 Watt and my controller is 5 amps and my battery is 12 volt is that ok. They can make on the electric fun , and 4 bulb of light 1 watts each bulb. They can. How many electricity will load to battery.? Please tell me what to do.?.

Martin thanks for the information. I'm considering installing solar power and and as a DYI man find your tutorials very informative and helpful.
Hi Gavin, they are supposed to withstand large hail and golf balls...but that might vary between manufacturers.
My pleasure, thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thank U , U have expanded my knowledge of how to determine the quality of the panels ! respect
Thanks for the feedback.
No..that's news to me...I'll investigate. Thanks for the post. Cheers, Martin.
Don't joke! ;-) We are almost settled, just waiting for a monitor for my main PC so I can produce the first video from the new lab...this laptop does not have enough horses.

omar yousef My pleasure, thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the info, helps a lot. With regards to extreme weather, how resistant are the panels to hail damage?
Thank you so much again for this awesome video.

Thank you for the information.
Good pieces of advise thanks
I have a need to keep batteries charged in a diesel generator. Wondering do they make all in one panels with mppt chargers built into the panel?
Hi Martin, can u suggest me how to make a transparent PV panel for my project work
links to pwer and wire up ect.. then wiring circuits for inverter then batteries ect. .brill vid well impressed.. self installer me. .
great video.
@mjlorton You mention return on investment is 15+ years. How much monetary loss did you incur by selling you home before that?
i am a DYI person and i will like to have a solar panel in my house in Nigeria, i would like you to please make a video on how to install one with a grid tie inverter thank you
My works too. Used Avasva handbooks and build it with no problems.

hi many thank you for your videos but my friend and I would love to know why you seem to have so many test meters as we seen to have 4 between us.
at the 20:00 mark, they also do that for CPUs, and GPUs, and RAM for computers :)
I just want to run an Aircondition unit ( 1 and a half horse power ) for 24 hours, using off Grid solar system in the Philippines. How many Panels I need to prepare, how big is my Battery Bank should be, and how much amp do I need for my battery charger. If you could give me the right computations I really really appreciate it, Please advice and more power to you.
Please post your question on my forum it's easier to help there.
everything you said iin this vid is accurate thanks martin
cheers
Hi Martin! Am a newbie and I would like to know what is the perfect voltage of battery I should install with a 30 watt solar panel and vice versa?
Hi John, if you continue through my series on Solar power there is a video on sizing that should help. Cheers, Martin.
thank you Martin! may i know in what particular series i should look into? see am in the philippines and recently hit by a strong typhoon and just browsing the net in a computer shop so i dont have much time to go through all of your vids, sorry..
I was fortunate, the investment did help make our home stand out in the market and thus sell easier...and my installation was done at cost...so I managed to make up most of the capital. I will cover ROI on solar in this series.
very accurate plans for something like that I found on Avasva
Hi Prashant ! I would like to make Solar panal...!
Prashant Kore Do you still ?
My inverter have 2 + 2- coming out of it . I have 1+ 1- hooked up to bat .
should I have 2+ 2 - hooked up to my bat ? If yes how should I hook up the other +- to a different bat or the same one ?
well actually i'm planning to install a 200w solar panel but i don't know what kind of grid tie inverter to use i mean wattage of GTI.. i consume almost 340kW per month but i just want to lower my electricity bill.... im here in the Philippines..
Good morning is my Solar panel is 30 Watt and my controller is 5 amps and my battery is 12 volt is that ok.
They can make on the electric fun , and 4 bulb of light 1 watts each bulb. They can. How many electricity will load to battery.? Please tell me what to do.?.
great info
oh i mean, what wattage of solar panel i should install with a 12 volts battery
I think you can see how to make it on Avasva . This is just an advice ;)
I bet if you could get credit for your power you would instantly put a hinge with a remotely controlled motor on the panel array to change the angle.
I made it by myself. I used Avasva solutions for that.
With plans from Avasva you can make it really easy.
A class= top quality.
B class= performance quality
C class = Refurbished quality.
With Avasva plans doing something like that was easy.
I think you can see some good advices on Avasva solutions.
"are you going to power your home with artificial light"... well there is that annoying streetlight outside my house.
I did it with the help of Avasva solutions.
So many I mean lol
