[QUOTE="Beholder, post: 239401, member: 14640"] Bought a 6W panel just for learning, but light energy is exponential relative to the light we see, so unless it's a sunny day, you only get 10% effect and need much more panel capacity in order to function on a cloudy day. The more you convert voltage and charge from one battery to another, the more power you lose. Connect an engine directly to a panel and it spins really fast. Connect the engine to the regulated power from a battery, and it hardly moves at all from all the waste. This shows that we could be at zero emission already if only we could convert voltage and time production and demand more efficiently. Heat tap water when the battery is full, et cetera. If I had a sunny location, I would hook up two 50W panels to a controller and build a fireproof box around a pre-owned car battery. Not as efficient as the $300 Lithium batteries, but for only $50 and the savings can buy more $50 panels, chilling your freezer more while it's sunny. Then I can build a 12 volt reading light from high power LEDs. The rest can be powered using USB power, such as my emergency radio, 4G router, mobile phone and Raspberry Pi computers. [/QUOTE]
