Your Questions About Solar Panel Kits

Robert asks…

Are the $200 DIY Solar panel KITS legit?

after seeing this —> http://www.altestore.com/store/Kits-and-Package-Deals/Off-Grid-Residential-Systems/c567/ and searching Rip-Offs dot com , I think that I can’t believe in Earth dot com MotherEarth catalog , etc. I’m a jack of all trades which makes me a Fool and a master – of – none , but don’t fool me thrice ! Is there a good link to build this mouse-trap or should I just max-out my credit card for a pipe-dream ? Maybe I should forget PV and just sweat copper pipes for solar water… BTW: I love removing old TV antennas and installing FREE-to-Air TV service for semi-retirement in NOLA. What’s your input [GI-GO]

Henry Dover answers:

I just looked at what you are referring to.

In short, the answer is a resounding NO.

They are only 4.5 – 12 watt max sub units that can produce that only under the absolute best of conditions. Additionally, in order to make any real use out of them, you would have to take anywhere from 8 – 10 of the larger units to store enough to run only minor electronics for a while. Say you wanted to run one brushless motor for 1 hour. You would need to store the equivalent of 36 volts at 600 watts. These panels will let you store enough for an 1/8th charge, at max capacity for a day, on an average auto battery.

It’s not worth it unless you create a full array.

Donna asks…

How much will a 40 watt solar panel power?

If I got a 40 watt solar panel kit would it provide enough energy for a couple fluorescent bulbs and an energy-efficient mini fridge? And also for charging a laptop? If not, how big of wattage would be needed? And WTF is the lingo for this stuff anyways? Thanks.

Henry Dover answers:

It will not power a fridge because even a small fridge pulls a few watts. With a hand held 75-100w inverter it will power 2 CFL bulbs 15w+15w =30w (Maybe). You need a small 12v battery with a small charge controller to keep a stable voltage so you do not damage your inverter.
