Wiring setup of my LED lighting. I used 12/3 wire to bring power from my 12 volt battery bank to power up the LED lights. I used 3x one watt, 2x five watts for lighting in the living room and one watt and ten watts for the kitchen.

It’s like a magnet, it works but no one seems to really know how.
This is the closest you’ll come to seeing perpetual motion on You Tube, a Crookes Radiometer will function in very low light where a solar panel will struggle to find energy. The really confusing thing is, how do they get the gubbins inside this sealed glass bowl?

These are the 124 watt rollable solar panels tied in parallel to produce 230 watts of grid supplemented power. The panels are rated at 124 watts but the inverter uses a bit of power. This inverter is rated at 600 watts.

A Solar Powered Toy Car (handmade),
This could be cheaper and interesting,
educational too. see how strong is sunshine power.
————————————————

Tip from samimy:

search google for (Elekit)

the water bottle size doesn’t matter, even the big bottle
of water you see in the market (2 litters) they work, because
it is light, not heavy.

so size of the bottle doesn’t matter.
weight: make sure it is empty.

and the solar board size, you should choose the size based on your
motor.
see if your motor needs 2 volts, you should use a 2 volt solar panel,
or if your motor is 3 volt, do the same, find a 3 volt out put solar panel.
the physical size doesn’t matter, little big or small, it is okay.

use tires as much as lighter, not heavy is better.

thanks

This is part 2 and covers the basics for beginners + The cells I am using are all broken cells I purchased for a discount from Ebay. They were all fully pre-tabbed cells. They are the long tab or fully tabbed NOT the clipped tabs. This panel will cost about $60 completed and requires about 1-3 hours of work + resin embedding cure times which are best applied overnight. Part 3 will detail the embedding process and adding an optional blocking diode. How To Build A Solar Panel.

I’ve updated my system with 2 more batteries that will give me 440 amp hours, added some wood planks for more support on my shelf, a 60 amp breaker, and some small emergency lighting. Overall I believe this system will support my needs for a true emergency backup system providing hours of emergency power.

Amazing solar shed lighting. This was a small Diy Project I did because I had no power running to my shed.
I used an old car battery and attached this to a small 12v 1.5watt solar pannel attached to my shed. I then purchased a small 3w 12v led lightbulb that was made for boats and similar. I wired it all up and now I have an amazing bright solar shed light. I was really pleased as this has made my shed much more usable. Enjoy and plese sub if you can. :0)

My outside lights using a Velleman MK125 light sensor kit. I used 18/3 AWG wire to bring electricity from my battery banks to the front of the house. I used two positives and a common negative (both switched) to power the sensor and the lights in front of the house. The lights come on at dusk and go off at down with an adjustable sensitivity control knob. I also terminated my Malibu lights low voltage transformer and connected them to the sensor, I also replaced the Malibu light bulbs with LEDS.
