Part 2. Walk thru contents of kit shot in daytime 11/11/12: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mn1QI1r0k8&feature=youtu.be
Today 11/10/12 I picked up the 1st of 2 HF 45 watt Solar Panel kits that I am going to put to use here at the compound to power the barn. Now, I know a lot of you are thinking that at only 45 watts it's not really going to be any good for things other then cellphones, laptop's etc.. However I'm going to walk you thru some things that can be run off of your power inverter below *purchased separately* hooked up to the battery array that your also going to purchase separately from the panel system & hook up off of the controller that comes with the kit using the supplied wires.
This clip is showing the two 5 watt lights that come with the kit, on and running for 4 hours at this point off of the battery array and yet, they have only dropped the voltage on the meter by 1. meaning it was registering 12.2 volts at 6pm and four hours later was displaying 12.1 volts as clearly seen here.
Video 3 we will do the power inverter that will allow you to run AC powered items and appliances from your solar kit.
Leave questions/comments/complaints (I'm figuring this out right along with you) so, if you see me doing something that you might find being done a different way will garner better results then shoot me off a message or comment explaining things and we will go from there.
so subscribe and keep an eye out for the continuing solar panel tests in upcoming video's..
