  • Yer I’m in Oz so no shortage of sun here lol

    Yer, that’s the perfect getting in the way of the good problem, are old car batterys as good as 2v deep cycle ones? no, but there still fine to use if you have nothing else. Are you gonna run a whole house off em? No, but I ran my fridge, tv, lights and a small water pump most days up till about 11pm off I think about 12 old truck batterys,



  • Umm around 2022ish, the solar panels were free from the tip, the batteries were also free form a mine site(collapsed cells could hold 12v but couldn’t crank out high amps), solar controlers were from eBay 150 bucks or something and a 5000w inverter was 600ish from memory also probably about 200 bucks worth of battery cable and connectors,











  • Whats your goal here? Are you planning to ride around the country on like an electric mountain bike or something? Im not sure you’ll get a compact solar panel that can change a battery in an hour, my panles on my house can only put out 250watts, 50v at 5 amps in full sun, at a brief glance and some dodgy math it would still take 2-3 hours to change an e-bike battery


  • I’m not an expert either, I don’t think the plastic is crucial to power generation performance, how ever I don’t know what else would give good flexibility without electrical conductivness, eg if you had a alloy foil backing and somehow the panel got damaged you could potentially have the whole thing become energized and whatever it’s stuck to, in saying that perhaps a rubber mat backing or some kind insulated cloth would be the way to go,




  • I wish I had a not so cynical view but the moment I see any human infont of any amount of others reading from a “holy text” or any interpretation of one I’m just like, your in a cult, your after power, there’s something you want, you want to judge others or some other underlying reasons.

    Yer it’s hard to believe in anything when everywhere you look it’s just shit.
