Green Job Training 80 WATT SOLAR PANEL Grid Tie Inverter Direct Monocrystalline
on Jul 26 in Lowes DIY
Green Jobs Training. www.greenpowerscience.com SOLAR PANELS SOLAR CO-OP 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.

You can get 100-150 watts worth of these cells for $80, but they are not the best
Nice Video Dan. It was interesting to see the voltage drop on the Monocrystalline due the shading of your hand.
I would like to be able to put solar panels in my apartment windows…do u think that would be possible???
80 Watts x 5 Peak sun hours x 365 days in year x .75 system efficiency= 109.5 KWH a year. 109.5KWH x .15 cents a KWH=$16.42. Now the price of the panel is 250 so 250/16.42=15.2 years to pay the panel off, not including the inverter. By the way any inverter that you grid tie has to be UL listed as a interactive inverter which the one that is used is not. Plus this way of connecting to the grid is illegal, we have the NEC for a reason. All i have to say is just please be safe!

So best deal, make a 1000W panel, and get an 800W GTI? All bases covered?
@cm4english For GTI you need about 20% more panel watts than the inverter rating. For a backup you can use any panel but your battery charging time will be determined by the battery Amp Hours, Current Charge, and the watt input from the panel.
In regards to 300 watts? They would be watt hours if on for one hour.
Hello again Sir. I am still looking for a grid tie inverter. “to start with then will get the backup system later” I am sure I only need a small one, but what size? for a 1-1 apartment. If I get a 300W, would I need my panels to max out at that, or will it amplify the one that I am making? “i have the time and patience to put 36 cells together. lol saw your other clip” and is it pushing 300W per hour?
If a solar panel says 200 watts, how much watts can it produce per month? (I live in the Philippines)
@randywest6 Pure sine or modified sine inverters have 12v posts OUT and IN. Grid tie inverters have a female computer AC plug 3 prong hole out for a male out. And only one red black in. The usually say Grid Tie on them. NEVER hook a pregular inverter to the grid power, it will blow up.
how do i know if a pure sine inverter is a grid tie inverter?
@cm4english You would need a 1000 watt REGULAR pure sine inverter and 3 deep cycle batteries to run a fridge and a few lights for 5 hours. A GTI is no good for blackouts. They shut off. You could charge all 3 batteries in about 3 days with a smaller panel. That would be for backup only.
am new to this idea. Kind of paranoid about the power going out here durring a storm….. If i were to hook up a solar panal, with a grid tie inveter to my appartment, “just hang it in the window” would that be enough to power the fridge, and a few lights? if so, are other apartments hooked up to mine and try to pull off my power? or would you think that a regular battery/inberter set up would be best for that?
That seems like a lot of work and money to make or save 5 cents a day!
250$ at where?
@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
dave
where did you get your grid inverter? thanks
oh yea i ment can i keep all of the panels at 12 volt with no battery bank
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…
Mike
I would like to know what kind of panels are the most efficient.
