Solar Tools (Beta) Requesting Feedback
Monday, November 16, 2009 20:22Posted in category Solar Tech Town News
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!

Hi Robert, I like your demonstration of the building a solar panel.
Is there any way of getting a copy of the full video to watch on my computer than going online all the time to check out your video.
Many thanks

THank you for such selfless act. I have been browsing the net for detailed instruction on how does solar energy work, and all I saw was bit and pieces and to know more you have to buy it in a package. I was overjoyed when I but up on your tutorial on yutube, free!!!. imaging my pleasant suprise. Thank you sooooooo much. I live in Jamaica where you may know it’s an all year round sunshine. So I am going to try to build my own solar panel (U Make It Look Easy). Question. Do the panels come in different sizesfrom the ones you used. say something that give more current? or voltage. (not an electrical student or chemistry, so i am not sure if i am using the correct terms. Once more Thanks man!

Hi again Robert, Another question. You place the solar cells on ply board. what else can be used, say thick plastic sheet?

Howdy:
We live near Big Lake, Alaska and spent a lot of time on the internet finding your site! It was worth all the work. We tried out your bata solar tool to see what it would take to run a 350 watt computer power supply. It gave us a pretty good idea of what we need. Then we went on to look at the section on how to build a solar panel. Haven’t looked at all of the video’s but it looks like you have covered everything so far.
Thanks for all the hard work.
