I have been working on a photovoltaic solar system for a couple of weeks now, and this is where I am at. I bought my solar cells from ebay, and I bought some of the supplies needed from amazon. Once I received the supplies I soldered the cells together using some solder and the tabbing wire, with the soldering iron. I then soldered all the cells to form rows and laid them out ready to be put into a case. This system should put out around 120 watts, or around 18 volts.
Materials:
As of now the solar system does not have a mount. The mount will also take some time and money, and I will eventually upload a picture of the system mounted. The materials I still need to create the mount are:
Finally once I have it mounted I will need to acquire an 18 volt battery, and an inverter to change the current from DC to AC so the solar system can charge the battery.
Eventually I would like this solar system to be used to power electronics in my camper van.
