@hex4def6 Thats why i made an update video not using the harbor freight panels and i prob would have did something better but the day i made it the wind was whipping it around!! And i could be wrong but these are amorphous panels they do better in less sunlight because the more sun the worse they are because they get to hot….but the bungee is getto i agree..
**NOTE**: The strapping you’ve put over the front of the panels is robbing power from power from your array, and can actually damage your array.
When you shade solar cells, its worse than just missing out on the extra unshaded area; those cells will actually start sucking power from the rest of the array, and get really really hot. Hot enough to destroy them / crack glass, etc.
So, fix that
@fanman1981 lol, dude.and i just noticed i spelled little wrong, XD idk why, i know how to spell it… but dude you sound younge to be owning a home… anyways, you shud go for a windmill

Urrrm

Good job, really great stuff. Very impressed.
What’s the output you’re getting with it? Each kit is 45watt correct?
If you use two LEDs and a microcontroller, you can create an actual solar tracker to track the sun instead of just a rough timer…
Great vid….nice idea, but the execution looks a bit rocky, If you can elongate the bearings surfaces, ie could you put some diagonal struts,(could even be just rigging wire), down to a ring, loose bearing on the supporting tube, so under wind loadings the movement should have some additional bracing. Great that you’ve got a full south facing yard. When the ali based panels come in you’ll be able to cover the deck in them.
@ditmar11 Sounds good man shoot a video when your done ill check it out..
