Green Job Training 80 WATT SOLAR PANEL Grid Tie Inverter Direct Monocrystalline
Green Jobs Training. www.greenpowerscience.com SOLAR PANELS This is a Monocrystalline Solar panel rated at 80 watts. This panel in direct sunlight can power a GTI Grid tie inverter providing 63 watts AC alternating current supplementing the power consumption from the electric company grid. The GTI is a 200 watt version. 3 panels would be needed in parallel to run direct at full power.

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE why not buy 1 after the 2.5 year mark then halving the cost of the 2nd panel and effectively saving you 2.5 years?
buy 4 and you effectively have them for free. large upfront but less time to pay off 4 panels = 4 years = all paid off.

thanks 4 this video, i was thinking bout maybe joining sum trainning classes, do u work doing this?

high Dan
please look at my video on solar panels.
just want to show you what happens to cells if they are not mounted to the glass properly just for you info or so if people ask you they get the proper info on building these things
thanks

where did you get your grid inverter? thanks
April 8th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
oh yea i ment can i keep all of the panels at 12 volt with no battery bank
April 8th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
i wanted to hook up 12v 45 watt harbor frieght kit and 12 v 4 x 50 watt solar panels will that config work with a 300 watt grid tie inverter

@OBXSOLWIND Thank you.

mono or multi crystalline are the most effcient when they experience no shading thats why they perform better when wired in paralell. amorphous pannels work better when shaded in part but they loose huge out put when they get hot. I hope I answered your question. Great vid dan. CHEERS WINDY NC

Math is a little off as a 80 watt panel and assuming a inverter with 100% efficiency would have to run for over 12.5 hours to produce a single KiloWatthour of electricity. 1KWh equals 1000 Watthours, 1000 / 80 = 12.5 hours. Please correct me if I am wrong…

I would like to know what kind of panels are the most efficient.

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE over used life, also can be recycled.

Sorry for missing this.
Materials are a small impact. Consider one panel removes about 700 pounds of deposited coal ash and several tons of co2
The goal $ to think about a car. When you buy one, most do not ask “when will it pay for itself.” Consider 15ยข a kwh. Each $250 (80 watt panel) will produce about 1KWh on a good day.$4.00 a month $40 a year rounding down. 5 years to flat.
If instant savings is the goal, consider Energy efficient appliances. They are the first step towards solar anyway.

is that a Siemens panel?

Dan,
Another great video! Can you hook up two then three in parallel to the grid tie? I am curious to know what the “sweet spot” is with these plug-in type inverters.
Thanks,
Mike

GREAT VIDEO. Watched your other solar pnl videos. Just finished making my 4 pnl and using Grid tie Inverter to feed power back into my home. DIY cost is running 1/2 . Doubled my wattage with roating my last pnl with the SUN. Could not do it without your videos. THANKS.

Time to move at least part of your house off grid.
April 8th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
@DjGisME But it does make sense to generate your own power, just not to save the earth.

those birds look so chaotic, like leaves blowing in the wind

Good video, solar is the way to go!

In two years NANO SOLAR will be available to the public
April 8th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
hown many amps does it produce, the last one, 80 watts
April 8th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Where can i bay this Grid Tie Inverter In EU ?

Well think of a hose. If you have a kink, the water still flows into and out of the hose at the same rate.

The birds at the end, they saw your series panel and wanted to knock out a cell or two:-)
I heard that bird poop on those panels can cause disproportionate voltage loses. Wow, do you think amorphous is a better choice?
