Video Rating: 4 / five

greenpowerscience.com These are the 124 watt rollable solar panels tied in parallel to generate 230 watts of grid supplemented power. The panels are rated at 124 watts but the inverter makes use of a bit of power. This inverter is rated at 600 watts. www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

    How many watts do they make when the snow is covering them? Would be a good idea to put a turbine with it.

    Awesome show!! Go Green Energy Act!! If you want to learn more about community-based approaches to doing renewables like M’Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island’s 4 MW wind project or Toronto’s Unitarian Church that did a community solar project that people bought shares in check out the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association. We can all be conservers and generators and help make Ontario a cleaner, greener and more prosperous place!

    OK, so I got two of those long flexible panels from a guy on ebay, and tested one today, it is pushing the 40+ volts, which according to the label on my 300 watt grid tie inverter is too high for it. What do I do now? Get a different GTI? Put s ome sort of voltage reducer on the line?

    Keep the price per watt the same, but make sailboat sails out of this stuff and it would sell hot.

    Hi Folks, i think i see a flexible Solar panel??? And for that huge Size only 230 Watts??? Its a good one! To see a real Solarrevolution go on blablabla.solarpanellights.de.tl or click here on my Name and see the future from Solar lighting right now. I think i need some new Clips with my Wife to show how it works. She is hot to.

    I want to build a house out of those containers. Saw it on tv, they put some side by side, can stack them, do all sorts of neat stuff.

    Solar power chicks are hot.

    That mormon commercial played before the video was idiotic. “I believe this planet was made for US.” Probably the most narcissistic statement ever uttered. He singlehandedly beat everything ever said by Muhammed Ali – and it wasn’t even for promoting anything.

    $2.5K! what’s the advantage in bothering to purchase one? Here you can enclose the same amount of area using conventional construction for a lot less.

    Very cool Denise. I need to find an attractive spokesmodel like you. Nice job.

    I’d cover the wires and fill the wire nut with Vaseline – if they are pointed cap up, and out of the suns UV – the connection will stay good almost indefinitely.

    @Petawatt haha good point.. i didnt even think of refrigerator containers.. do you know where they sell those types of things?

  27. dgr8zod
    dgr8zod10-18-2011

    Wire nuts don’t last long outside.. A weatherproof junction box, or soldering and shrinkwrapping will go for as long as the panel..

    you know, they do sell Insulated shipping containers. They sell extra tall, refrigerated, open top, and extra wide door versions too

    Since the USA is a importer of cheap plastic crap, there are an excess of containers. The price probably tracks the scrap metal value. Although around here, the 20 foot ones are almost as expensive. The smaller ones are probably more in demand by contractors though. A 40′ one should weigh about 9k lbs. and steel is at 10-12 dollars per 100lb. at the scrapyard. Of course, if you were selling 100 containers at a time you should get a better price.
