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.
Best DIY solar-thermic water-heater, I have seen so far. Planning a rebuild, next summer.
Nice job. My panel is 2440x1220, hardwood box, lined with 50mm foiled PIU, 2 serpentine silicone pipes sandwiched between 2 x 16AWG aluminium sheets, with twin-wall polycarbonate on the face.
Don't leave it uncovered without pumped water to keep it cool!
My pump failed, the residual water boiled off, and the polycarbonate sheet got soft and sagged.
At my latitude, it is the equivalent of just over 1 kWh/h continuous in direct sunlight, calculated from rise in water-temperature per volume pumped. It keeps my workshop warm in winter, too!
Ver nicely done, I am looking forward to your update in the summer!
I'm really wanting to build one of these. Only thing holding me back is having to learn the plumbing connections to the oil boiler for hot water. Shut off valve for winter maybe. Cheers and sunny days brother 🌞
I once removed an old collector from the eighties that had not been functioning for some years.
The insulation had completely turned into charcoal foam! To me it was a miracle that it never caught fire.
So my advice here is to always have water circulating through the panel. When left alone without cooling the temperatures inside such a panel can become dangerously high.
you can always isolate the garden hose with some standard pipe isolation foams
nice projekt !!
finally made it home and am able to watch your video, very nicely done... looks like a brilliant project, and i hope it gives you many excellent years of service. (i dont think i could have made this system as pretty as you did... there would definitely be many many imperfections in the box or or other places... my own systems look so janky in comparison)
Such an involved and interesting project... WOW, just WOW! 👏
Thank you for sharing this awesome idea. Very impressive & clean work. A great salute from Kuala Lumpur!
This is cool! Don't forget to give us some HHO updates!
I'm really looking forward to pure H2 and O2 generation (>99%) and storing it in appropriate gas cylinder. O2 is also really useful for medical applications, just need to purify it. H2 great for Hydrogen Fuel Cells and gas burner.
@@NextGenAge Its hard, and expensive. You need to be sure to get H2 > 96% (98% ideally) purity. Otherwise it could be EXTREMELY dangerous. Our bellowed DIY guy speak about cheap H2 probe, but I guess he set aside HHO projects for a while (update on his last HHO project would be nice - info about improvements).
Also tank where you store hydrogen MUST be special kind of tank (when high pressure H2 is stored), otherwise it could explode cause H2 is tricky gas and want to do as many leaks as possible. And there are some additional elements of course like... oohh oil in compressor (from fridge for example) could burn H2 and make an explosion, etc.
So be careful. Anyway HHO is our only hope for the future, cause even if those nuclear fusion reactor start to work and produce free energy, it wont be free for us - tax payers, that I can assure you. They want to control us and energy is one element of control they wont let go.
Really cool, i love your tutorials, all of them, thank a lot ;)
Name for your panel is solar collector loved every part of the video thou.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Очень талантливо сделано!!! для любого инженера на заметку!)
Clean work guys!
, you are very smart, you are very good, .video is very helpful
Very cool ideas and great works !!
So glad you used polycarbonate. It can handle the higher temperatures when the pumps are not running & it's a natural ultraviolet filter. I hope you used Polyisocyanurate insulation, because it can handle 148°C.
Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) will have permanent, inelastic deformation at 60°C and higher.
Thanks for the information and the ingenios design.
I once lived on an old abandoned orange orchard. There were thousands of feet of black plastic irrigation tube laying everywhere. I found a jacuzzi someone was giving away and brought it home. I then collected up a massive amount of the black tube and made a giant spiral on my corrugated roof. It was probably fifteen feet in diameter and made out of hundreds of feet of tubing. I put a small slow pump on it and fed the output into the Jacuzzi which we used as a simple hot tub. The water out of the tube was not super hot but it was hot. In order to get it hotter I added a small an inline water heater to further heat the water coming out of the tube.The system got the water hot in a couple of hours and our electricity bill barely went up taking hot tubs two or three days a week. I always wondered if it was efficient or if it was a good idea. It seemed to work quite well but I employed no mathematics or calculated engineering.
That was so amazing
Me parece excelente.
Muchas Felicidades para ustedes.
Gracias por compartir.
Yeah would love to see updates on the hydrogen split!
The plan is to do that in about 2 videos.
GOOD JOB !!! BRAVO ! :) 👍
Great videos, really clean and clever techniques - really thought through! I think a little more detail about what exactly you're making at the beginning of the video would be helpful for first time viewers.
Thanks! Here ar part 1 th-cam.com/video/9YswyY1i-Us/w-d-xo.html and 3 th-cam.com/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/w-d-xo.html hope it helps!
I'll testify as new watcher that'd been very helpful considering upon 1st look/read "1600 *Watt* solar *panel" I thought "no way 1600!!" and I was hooked...
Then a chem. engr watching, I began to scratch my head a couple times but curiousity persued;till I got here and heard the hot tub talk and saw how the copper was ran realizing "damn it, heat exchanger!!" Seeing how *usually watts used with solar panel describes electricity production and thats all I was after, bit more clarity in title wouldve been nice. Like 1600 Btu solar heater or if with W then 1600W rooftop heat/energy exchanger.
TBH tho, I like watchin anyone create anything so no total waste. More detail on how you calculated the theoretical needed flowrate, heat flux, Wattage generated etc wouldve helped make it more interesting a ton! For us engies watchin...like did u model each collect as half the Al sheet with copper strip on one end, calculate energy/area generated w the nice 2nd order heat transfer equations or just look value espimate up? Did u go on w a cross section of Al and Cu on end using this generated energy/volume, look up needed consts. like metals' transfer coefficients and solve to find steady state max temp of metal then finally your heat flux at s.s? Next, calculate needed energy input to raise water desired temp., and finally, w more detailed 2nd ord. diff's solve using this needed energy and heat flux to calculate your needed flow rate???
If you found some type online calculator to do all the calculations for you, shame on you for taking out all the fun part!!
nice projekt
To maximise energy absorption you could add 10% of 5 micron fine zinc dust to the black paint, this will increase heat absorption by more than 15% (researchgate)
Thanks, I'll try it out some time!
@@TheDIYScienceGuy yeah, and a lined Al/Cu interface of thermoelectric cells would b inereeresting to see how much electricity it pulled since the heat's flowin anyway...why not stick these awesome little pieces of tech in between the highest difference of temp places and collect otherwise wasted energy....(or if water/Cu/Al temp diff. will be low, perhaps place them on back between hot side and cooler back. I dunno if you could find a good enuf temp gradient, but itd be super interesting to make extra power simply off of the heat energy flowing from hot to cold thru the material boundaries. They may also be inefficient garbage i dunno; just know the tech is amazin gbut thats about it
Thank you.🎉❤
Nice solar panel 1600 wp
Very nice.
Amazing
Goed bezig 👍
The industry has older versions but TH-cam has the more improved versions
Super 👍😊 weiter So
Varey good

Hey! My name is Justin too!
NICE !!
Would repurposing a flat screen TV cut out the housing and mounting of these solar panels and cost? Most people chunk them when they don’t work?
You might try adapting something like this into a solar thermal collector for a heat pump.
Yes I'm going to make that in the future. Thanks for the tip! 👍
Love your 1600watt part deux ... when can we see part 3 with the results?
Thanks! The sun is at it's highest point at june 21st so then I can measure and film it.

FYI plastic isn't more transparent then glass. Don't believe me as your local optometrist, or eye glass wear supplier. It's just for crack resistant for obvious reasons. But will fade with time like your headlights. It's a give and take.
Good wether resistance wood...May be it's bangkirai...At least I know it is one of the best wood types for this kind of purpose.
Take the next step and circulate refrigerant through the panels with a heat pump and you will have a system with more efficient solar from cooling the PV and hot water through a heat exchanger.
Once you build your 1600w panels ,I doubt you need to sell shirts anymore.
Exactly
Point is interesting 🤨
You don’t need to sell your shirts if it works
Hello DIY Inventor. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful process and powerful end product. Is it possible to share te calculation for the output of the solar panel. Thank you.
Thanks! Yes the output is an estimation of course. 800 Watt of the sun's enegry per m2, the panel is 2xm2=1600Watt. Mid summer I will show the actual power output.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy Thank you. Hope mid summer will bring you many clear sun hours and hot water.
yes a noo vidoé the best youtuber
If you put that in a sealed air tight system with sulfur hexaflouride it would be incredibly hot. Because the green house effect is 20,000 times that of carbon dioxide.
Mooi gemaakt , zou ik ook willen op men dak 😊
Your pals Invisible hard boots would be a good video. Yowserz . Toes everywhere..
Yes, you're right!
Question: Would it be possible to integrate a solar panel system? Would cut down on black paint for sure and double its use, are there any reasons to consider not doing it?
Yes, they exualy make heatexchangers that can be put on the back of collar cells for that purpose. But it makes it more complex. I'm planning to dot something like that when I have my one solar cells. Good thinking! 👍
leuk hoor....
Nice project. Why do you need a secondary water circuit (with exhanger, pump, electricty etc)? Why not use this directly as input into a boiler or gas heater, pushed by mains water pressure?
Thanks! Because I use antifreeze in the winter time so it won't freeze in the night.
Doesn't glass make it produce hotter water ? You can always put hardware cloth over it if you are worried about hail damage, some with a grid size small enough to stop anything large enough to do crack or break the glass. How well did that first one work, and how do you know they are 1600 watts? Thanks man
No polycarbonate is a beter thermal insulator than glass so it will work beter. The only disadvantage is that it is twice as expansive as glass.
On a hot, sunny day how hot is the water coming out of this solar heater?
still waiting on the 1600 watts. i doubt your design is even capable of it
“The Sun's rays are attenuated as they pass through the atmosphere, leaving maximum normal surface irradiance at approximately 1000 W/m2 at sea level on a clear day.” So for a unit that looks to be around 2 meters squared to get 1600w which would be around 80% efficiency, that figure seems to be pretty plausible.
How to calculate the needed al sheat area for the targetted wattage of 15 KW production ????????????
How much hotter is it than the traditional one ?
You could just put foam over the garden hose in pieces for insulating your pipe.
That's the plan! 😉👍
Great, great, great! I would only suggest not to make hermetically sealed box. One "hole" at the bottom should be planned for rain-water leak.
Thanks! Well there's not leaking any water into it so it's not needed.
How to calculate the area of aluminium sheat for the production of 15 KW ??????????
So good, I even let the ad's run.
Hello, your chanel is fantastic, have you ever considered doing a video on a hydrogen fuel cell, alkaline fuel cells were 50-70% eff but construction details are scarce
Thanks! Yes I have some ideas for that but I first need to rebuilt my hydrogen generator so I have hydrogen to experiment with.
interesting!
عمل جميل جدن
Sorry, I can't translate that.
Your formula is correct for figuring output, but electricity is measured by watts, heat is by BTU's
BTU is part of the imperial messurment system. Watt is metric. Watt means energy over time (1 Watt is 1 joules per second) joule means energy in any form, heat, electricity, sound etc.
Someone send these guys a vacuum attachment for their router. The guy doing the vacuuming is making me anxious and tired all at the same time.
He just needed something to do 🤪
What is solar Anti Reflection (Light Trapping) Coating ? Silicon nitride Si3N4 (75nm layer) thermodynamic coating (plasma coating ? like: The Thought Emporium ("This Can Coat Anything in TITANIUM") ? ) ? Heat_pipe using Acetone C3H6O (Boiling/gas point +56.05 °C, Melting/solid point -94.7 °C) or Water or Ethanol ( you simply take a metal tube (put in a metal wick) (closed at one end), bring the liquid to a boil (pressure) and close the other end before it starts to cool so that the tube goes into a vacuum ? (like vas made Doug Kalmer "making a heat pipe" ) ) ?
Sorry, I don't understand your question.
would it have made it easier if the copper pipe as flattened to be rectangular and then brazed/soldered to single flat piece of Alu.? that is as far as making the solar heater
Yes maybe. But making a rectangular pipe is also not that easy or easy to come by. But good suggestion. 👍
Great stuff!
What about the 1600 watts. Is it also a generator?
Watt just means energy over time. This can be heat, motion, sound, light etc. But this panel will power a generator later. Have you seen this video of mine: th-cam.com/video/s5Ud-FD33tI/w-d-xo.html
@@TheDIYScienceGuy yes but it is measureable and idk how you came up with 1600w
800W per m2 is the amount of energy from the sun that hits the earth. The panel is 2xm2 which therefore absorbs 1600W.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy it, energy from sun, may average to 1Kjoule per meter squared.
Are you not worried about moisture slowly clouding the polycarbonate screen, cause I didn't see you add anything to capture the moisture within the panel.
No not really, the housing is completely sealed and the copper pipe does not leak inside it. In the case that it would cloud up I could make a hole in it, throw in som bags and seal it back up.
Great work. What if I would like to order one , would it be possible? How much it would cost me with delivery included to Portugal.
Sorry I don't sell them, I just hope to inspire people.
Good Work. What is the voltage?
Thanks! No voltage it heats up water.
09:36 " Sorry but it seems to me that I have found a possible error this air purge valve, maybe it should have been on top of this panel .. because the air bubbles inside the panel will go up .. is this a mistake? I ask a lot of thanks
No the flow in the tube is high enough to push the bubbles down so they will eventually flow out of the pannel. But good thinking! 👍
Ever try one of these using Black 2.0 or vanta black?
We considered it but decided to test that later.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy awesome, I'll be looking forward to that, just wondering if it's worth it as if you can see the setup that's light and energy being lost. Not sure how much more you'd get but it should be more efficient.
I think that s so expensive for solar heating panels using metals. Just making the black box (with black paint and graphite mix) and use the zizag tube go through it.
Got a question: I know polycarbonate is a "natural" block for UV radiation... Loosing that wavelength isn't a waste of efficiency?! Or is just a tradeoff on the safe side for not using a brittle glass?!
Anyway, that is one professional looking solar panel! :)
Thanks! Well glass also blocks most of the UV rays and besides that only a very small amount of the light that gets trough our atmosphere is UV light. But good question! 👍
Even through im not sure if this is considered a solar panel and not a water heater it might have the pros of not causing overheating that causes efficiency losses since theres a limit to how much and what type of light can be converted to energy ( im talking in case of a solar panel not sure if its a heater tho)
Yes it heats water.
@@mehmetbahaozen8445 I was thinking the same....but may be it's because I'm not natural English speaking. In my country they call this kind of stuff a solar collector. (And I have those on my roof for hot water for 8 years...still going fine)
@@mehmetbahaozen8445 I think a nice idea could be the combining of a water heating panel contacted to a photo voltaic panel. The water could keep the temperature of the PV panel under control and therefore giving it a higher efficiency.
Siendo sincero no le entendí a nada, por qué no hablo inglés.
Pero me encantó. Es el primero que veo pero te ganaste un suscriptor. Solo me quedo una duda, aplicas efecto termoeléctrico ú fotoeléctrico. Si son los mismos una disculpa, pero soy nuevo en esto.
¡¡¡Gracias!!! el panel es fototérmico
@@TheDIYScienceGuy diablos esto dar nombres y comprenderlos nunca a Sido lo mío.... En fin una maravilla, me agradaría ver un vídeo en donde apliques el efecto seebeck de donde soy, tenemos mucho calor de por medio y pues me entiendes.
😎✌️
how are you measuring the wattage output of the panel?
I show that in this video: th-cam.com/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/w-d-xo.html hope it helps!
😀
Nun keine schlechte Idee nur würde mich dein Praxistest noch wunder nehmen kannst du davon auch ein Video machen und detailiert Auskunft zu deinen Erfahrungen machen?
Das Video habe ich schon gemacht. genieße das Zusehen: th-cam.com/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/w-d-xo.html
I was expecting a solar electricity panel not a solar hot water panel. I don't understand where the 1600watts comes into heating water using the sun.
The sun provides 800W per m2. The panel is 2m2 which makes it 1600W
The big machine for metal sheet works is very unreachable for average people.
Sorry ,What is the name of the spray liquid ?thanks mr.
It's heat-resistant paint.
Dimensions used please sir 🙏.. thanks for the wonderful work we appreciate
Thanks! The panel is 2.2x1 meter.
I guess an actual photovoltaic panel could have been incorporated into the unit to boost the wattage.
Well a photovoltaic panel is much less efficient than the one I made so if you need more heat, just ad an other panel like the one I made. But for pumping the liquide around a photovoltaic one would be great.
these are on literally every building in China. kinetic water heaters, but they also call them solar.
They are on almost no building where I live 😔
Amazing project can you share the the details so one can build it their own
Thanks! Well I don't have detailed drawings of it because it's mainly in my head. But if you copy the concept you can make it any size you want.
Wonderful work done by you
Can you tell me about materials you have use it
Thanks! The housing is aluminum and so are the collector sheets. The tubing is copper and the insulation is polyurethane.
I have my own solar instalation (4.66m2) which at 33oC gives me 22MJ of energy output in Poland. How much energy can You gain?
Max around 1500W. How much Watt does you panel give?
It depends on two variables 1) temp. outside and 2) temp. on the panel. Above 25 oC outside I achieved 160W/m2. At 33 oC it is 260 W/m2. Without clouds. Max temp. in the condenser was 65 oC. The lower temp. established in the condenser e.g. 50oC the lowest losses on the solar panel due to conduction, radiation and convection (one glass separation) and the greater efficacy. At 50oC I get 75% at 65oC 50%. Average sun power 350W/m2 between 10-15 during two weeks in Juni.
For me interesting is how efficiently heat flows from metal plates to the pipes? I have on 1m2 of area, 2.7kg of water and 27kg of steel.
How will you prevent lime in those pipes?
I'm serculating anti freeze through the system, so that won't be a problem. Also, as long as you have a closed system like this, you can't really get lime buildup, only when you have a ridiculously high lime content in your water.
LIKE
can you do 1600w for electric generation?
No just hot water.
Me gustaría saber los materiales que utilizan para cada parte
Carcasa de aluminio, tubo de cobre, placas de aluminio, tiras de fijación de espuma de PVC, aislamiento de espuma de poliuretano, recubierto de policarbonato.
paint black paint with a brush and dust with powdered activated charcoal or graphite
if I may know, how much does it cost to make a solar panel like this?? thank you 🙏🏻
It costs €450,- on material.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy thank you
the wood is bangkirai or yellow balau from indonesia
Can you please make some photos with thermal camera?
I wish I had one!
How does this generate 1600watts? Its a radiator run thru a heat exchanger , hearing the wAter of the hot tub which is also run thru the exchanger. I don't see 1600 watts.
Watt is a unit of power. 1 Joule per second is 1 watt. Joule means energy. This can be electricity, heat, light, sound etc. Check this link for more information about this subject, hoop it helps: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt
@@TheDIYScienceGuy so 1600 Joule of heat per second is how you came up with 1600 watts... Why didn't you just cal the video "1600 Joule solar powered via exchanger hot tub water heater"? it doesn't roll off the tongue as easily...
ORRRRRRRR you could do as the British do, calculate the peak energy creation of a petrol powered engine, presented in a scale used by electronically driven engines. " this solar array produces 16 megawatts at 23 neutons per square Calabrini's" now I'm just Capernicusing a round
when are you going to do a vidio of the steam engine?
Next video will be about the valve gear! 😄
@@TheDIYScienceGuy ok thanks
Ahhh I never seena solar panel like this? So its just for producing hot water? You don't convert that to electricity?
Yes it makes hot water and in this video I explain how I am going to make electricity with it: th-cam.com/video/s5Ud-FD33tI/w-d-xo.html
El proyecto se ve muy bien, pero en mí país desgraciadamente sale más caro, que comprarte un kit solar
¡Muchas gracias! desafortunadamente, no es diferente.
is for the wather?
Yes it is.
