Did you know you could build your own Solar Panels for next to nothing? 

*Super compact and easy to carry and travel with accessories for the electric **Generater.Systems** .I was worried this was going to be bulky or hard to use.Hooks up easy and charges quickly*

This is by far the best video on self made Solar panels.

I looked through the internet for about 3 hours for a video like this, and this is the best video that i have seen on this topic, there´s no way you can fail making your own solar panel, keep up the good work, Thank you for the video

Geez you make it look easy but I know it isn't, I'll probably watch this video 50 times more. Excellent video!!

Good tutorial, basic but informative. To make your own panel nowadays with decreasing prices for ready to install panels with free shipping it only comes to custom fit and designs. Maybe something light that you can fold, and again this is widely available. Recently i discovered that you can pancake two panels on top of each other and slide them out underneath so it doubles the solar area if needed. This is especial useful if you install panels on a roof of a van. Motor-driven-mechanism of-course. By making rails at production stage of the panels you minimize the overall size of the panels sliding over each other. Basically you could pancake 2 and even more layers like a telescope. When a storm hits or heavy rainfall is minimizing voltage output you can retract all panels beneath each other and put some DIY tarp around it for protection, how cool is that.

This panel can put out close to 100 watts ru-vid.comUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg 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.

Feels like a 90's infomercial.

I tried making this without the over all’s and it didn’t work. I bought some and tried again and it worked

That testing block... mind blown. you're a genius

I am a retired teacher and loved the presentation very much. And the music was awesome.

Very professional video. I was thinking at first that the production of the photovoltaic cells would be included too

Wow. Great video. I liked the thorough detail of explanation without rushing through the images or steps. Even your voice is calm and helps me to take it all one step at a time. Great job!!!! I’d love to see how you could put these on your house or roof.

It's amazing how the prices have changed since this video first came out, its cheaper just to buy solar panels these days and get more wattage from them, but this quality costs and is worth considering!!

I'm not even into this stuff, but man is this video good. And the product placement is hella smooth, that was way before it's time 7 years ago

Very intuitive and simple, it would have been nice to see the connection to the charge controller also but overall educational Thanks

I’m building a lot of these on the top of my garage, and in an open area of open land in hopes to make some energy to charge my next car and just to make some extra energy to store in a back up for power outages. not much but it’s something to use.

The electronic music background is a real pain, especially to older viewers whose hearing is not as good as it used to be.

I suffer with REALLY BAD OCD but when I see YOUR SET UP I FEEL 👍 GREAT I really love the way u have all your stuff organized thank you for sharing this video with the world it means a lot to me

then: diy 60 watts for $200 now: 100 watt panel at your local home depot for $70

I can't wait to get the next DIY on "how to make your own Fax machine under 1000$"

The video on the panels was great. I just wouldnt know what converter to use and so forth. Will you be doing one on how to take the panels and hook them up to be used buy a standard outlet. Any info on where to go from there I would greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Mwen satisfè sa mwen wè a. I am really satisfy thank you so much. congratulations for the video.

Please do not measure Amperage this way. If you measure anything else this way you are going to short something out. Essentially what he is doing is creating another parallel path for all of the current to travel through with very low resistance. The battery he is measuring has circuitry inside of it that will protect him from that battery exploding, but if you short out the terminals of a battery like that, it can explode. Please look up the correct way to measure amperage with a meter if you are doing anything else besides this project.

I'm going to build a house next to nothing cause I don't like having neighbors.

An excellent tutorial video with quality & safety standards piece of working. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent job. Hands up. Step by step, Easy understandable, Complete, Thank you very much. One question- Need or not silicon filling between aluminium frame and acrylic sheet ? I thing that the information is missing. Please update.

great tuto, i was seeking how the flux worked mainly. Thanks. Unfortunately the tinyurl doesn't work anymore ...

High quality simple but efficient educative video. Thank you

Excellent video and very thorough. Why do the individual cells need spacing between them?

The string should produce 4.5v and not 15v that was shown. When is series voltages add up. Individual cell voltage was 0.5 v and he had 9 in series so 9* 0.5 = 4.5v . I am assuming that 15 v value was from all strings connected in series.

Thanks please make these vedios in future also. Your method of teaching is great

If you make all of your drill holes in a strip of wood, all your holes be the same. Just clamp the wood down on predetermined lines on each side. I use clamps that look like wide pliers.

Wow, i didnt notice the 42 mins, I've learn something new, thanks, here's my subs

Thank you very much for all your hard work. I’m learning a lot! I hope that I can make one soon. God bless you, Patricia

Wearing a dust mask for fumes is like people wearing cloths for viruses 😂😂😂

This video is perfect. It answered everything I was wondering. Thanks!

Yeah, I looked into this about 15+ years ago. Amazing how prices have come down. You can get panels now for less than $100 per 100w delivered to your front door in days. Great video nonetheless.

Hi, your video is great and super informative! Can you please upload the video again without the music? It's driving me nuts! I can't hear your voice over it. Thanks.

Do it yourself if you have a factory 😄. You did a very good job 👏.

I'm going to try this and when I finish I will build a wind generator and then I can say I know what I talk about

Very useful, got more knowledge from this video. Thanks a lot.

Lots of good ideas. Thx. I join the stringers on the clear sheet so i don’t have to lift or move them.

Very interesting video on how to build. The links provided for the Tutorial are no longer available sadly. Also it would be nice to have a link, on where to order for instance the materials (like the solar cells) And/or an eventual costing price for the whole build. Outside that, very informative and really well explained video.

Uhhh...what BRAND are those overalls? OUTSTANDING vid!! Informative, thorough easy to follow and well thought out. YOU DA MAN : )

Thank you for helping us save money and God bless you

This project is nice and encouraging ,more grease to your elbows thanks

Times have now changed... I Just bought one 435 watt light weight solar panel for $135.°° complete.

If the acrylic thickness is less than 4 it will heat up from the photocells and deform.

watched only to learn you cant diy without buying solar cells.

Here I am buying Q cells 19% efficiency units, top of the line half cells from 2-3 years ago for $100/pop. Y'all need to GET ON MAH LEVEL BOYz

thank you so much! you did the perfect instructions. I subscribed, like and will share this video toturial to my friends.

The link for instructions told me it’s no longer available, could you link a pdf to download?

Bro. This dude is THE BOSS.

Thank you, will try to make this with my family

I bought those same cells. How many did you break?

Totally agree with you Hilary Latham

I purchased some 320 watt panels for less than $400! Already made.

I leaned how to make solar panels Thanks and kindest Regards Mirza

You can now buy flexible 200w for $160

Best DIY video I’ve ever watched!

Next to nothing, 60w panel for 200 bucks. I can buy them on Ebay, ready made for around 30 bucks with free delivery

Thank you so much for your through instructions.......Great job..

Love your work very professional and keen to build my own solar farm lol jk I mean solar panels

How do you keep the plexiglass protected from the UV rays of the sun? That and hear causes plexiglass to become brittle.

🙄cool..thanks! hadnt realised cell were sold seperately....cool. good video!

Great, very instructional vid, helped me understand quite a lot of things. Don't mind the trolls.

Super enjoyed watching! You are awesome! I'm so grateful more blessing to you!

Thanks Mate. Perfect tutorial.

60 Watts..... 200$...... hahahhahaha!

How about turning the music down and turning the main part, that I'm watching it for up

this is a great DIY video. but prices have dropped so much on solar panels that you can buy 100 watt panels for under $80 now.

This is a great and informative video. Thanks so much for your clear instructions and the reasoning behind each action. 42:13

That wonderful ,but where can we buy those materials and what is costs

Well done and explained mate. Many thanks.

Bravo mr

This was best video i ever saw, very nicely explaind, thanks

Its informative, i would do several things another way but that doesn't matter. I missed one thing. A diode to stop current flowing back.

Brilliant!

So, all the tools and supplies is what this really cost to make.

I can buy a brand new 60w solar panel ready made for under 60€. How on earth is watching and cheering this video a profitable way to go forward? Please tell me if I'm missing something!

Reading the closed captioning @15:29 and giggling.

Great video. Just a note: If you use a power inverter to get AC. Don't plug sensitive electronics into it. Inverters yield dirty power.

Well done which is medium rare today with amateurs making videos like pros. However I have always thought when soldering you are to heat the metal of the bind and the solder to touch the metal to create a tight bind or you get a cold joint connecting which will easily break and fall apart when you heat the solder against the iron itself and let it drip as you show. Since the metal you are soldering to is also solder do you heat the whole connection line to get this type of bind after dripping the first run?

Excellent video

👍YES I YAH! GIVING THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, BIG UP YUHSELF.

Good video,in 23:30 voltage in dmm shows 15v,

Fun science project, but if you think you're saving money, keep in mind that producing 60W output (DC) for $200 is really expensive compared to $0.13/kWh from the utility. And the utility runs 24/7 and won't fall apart from weather exposure.

Very good tutorial on solar paner ever.

WONDERFUL VIDEO! Super informative!

Why have music playing it's a freaking headache

Clear acrylic front

Well is it worth it today? 200 bucks for 60W sounds expensive today.

What's the temperature range for this build?

60w's for 200$ you can buy them brand new for 100$ and make 100w's sometimes 89$

Great video. Clearly explained for everyone to understand.

Thank you so much, for study. 🙏🏼👍🏽

thank you so much Sir.

Well-Done

so how do i know how large to build this or is 18 volts the average size

Thanks for the wonderful video
