Solar Pv Panel
best value Solar Pv panel ?
K i'm almost ready to give up! I've bought every kind of pv I can think of, and I can see this technology will not be affordable in my lifetime.I conserve all I can (so far as to handwashing my laundry etc) I'm not rich, but I'm saving for a solar pv with decent amperage. I love tinkering with things if I see the point.All the cells i've seen are very weak. What PV would you buy? (all I need is to power my computer from a deep cycle 12 volt battery connected to an inverter)
God Bless You
For tinkering, you might look into amorphous silicon panels from Aten solar. But if it has to last, look at non-UL listed panels from sun-elec.com .
If powering a PC is your only goal, consider replacing the power supply in your PC with one that runs off native 12 volts (like the kind intended for RV's). Then you can avoid the 30% loss of energy in a cheap inverter.
I think you will see a significant drop in the price of panels in the next couple years, by the way.
