Solar Tech Town

I’m going to start something new where I give away a solar panel (5-6 watts) to 1 lucky person every time I gain 100 more subscribers. For the first contest, only those who live in the United States may enter, but in the future contest I will try to make it available for everyone.

To enter, please comment in the video stating something like “I want it”. I will then add your name to a list and put a number beside your name.

Once I reach 600 subscribers I will make a drawing from the list I have using an online random number generater to pick the winner.

For the solar tool that calculates how long you can run a device for 24/7, a complex formula was needed for that script, and Robert has taken into account for you any power losses you may have due to many factors. So that’s included in the calculation.


Robert has also taken into account that your batteries should not be drained more than 20% in a given day.


Thanks to a guy that goes by the name of SunKing has helped to provide a basic solution that will get you in the ball park of knowing how many watts you need to produce as well as amp hours. Again, this is relating to the first script Robert has written.


In this video Robert is requesting feedback on a recent project he’s been working on. Depending on the feedback/ratings will determine if he continues to improve the scripts (solar tools) and add more tools in the future.


If you like one of the solar tools, please rate, comment, and subscribe!

In this video Robert is showing you an unboxing of a portable solar charger that he purchased off eBay for around $20.00.


In the video, Robert tests the solar charger with an IPhone and it works flawlessly. The device can be charged by either solar energy, or by a direct connection to a laptop or desktop which is very neat.

In this video I show you a professional solar panel I purchased, and since I only plan to use the solar panel as a temporary solar panel for different projects, I’m going to install some alligator clips on the leads so I can easily hook up the solar panel to devices and unhook it.


To complete this simple task, I also wanted to use heat shrink tubing instead of just regular electric tape to hide my connections.


This is a very easy project that almost anyone could do, and not with solar panels but with a wide range of devices that use DC connections.

In this video Robert Smith shows you how to put together a simple solar usb charger that is capable of charging devices like iPhones, iPods, cell phones, mp3 players, and other usb powered devices.


Robert also shows you other places where you can purchase or build your own portable usb solar charger.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..........said the tree.  Be nice to the tree.  Don't waste paper.

I’m just testing the solar panel with AC devices in the middle of the project just to get an idea of how it would work when I get the real inverter.

Here’s a simple video to give you some small extra insight on how to mount your solar panels onto a roof.

Here is a nice YouTube video that gives a great overview on how most commercial solar panels are made:
