I would like to do something like this it would save a lot of money. don't have a miner but like to get one

As expected some competition results in further price drop

i hope to do something similar

so far i have found solar panels are on all the time even at night. There is always light. I wonder if solar panels also pick up infrared, which is emited by all life. even humans.

sadly so far it is very hard to actually charge batteries. Not sure why.

currently i have one 13v 108watt solar panel, 6 volts at night and 10 -14 volts at 11am - 8 pm.

in theory i would need 4 of these panels to remain at 12v's 24/7.

It needs to hold 12v to charge batteries to usable power.

all you need is 12v to convert to 120v ac. And you can run w/e you want.

watt hours. and total watts in general dictates your run time.

300 watts on a 1200watt car battery can run up to 3 hours. put in line to that 1200watts from solar and it could extend that time.

for my project i hope to input more free energy ideas. tesla towers, earth power, water power. wifi recievers.

I've found more videos pointing a camera at these devices, but none really telling me how to design the circuit. and what specific parts i need. It looks like i can salvage much of it from tv's monitors and various electronics.

So far i've learned that we are gonna need x2 more power in then what we draw out of it at minimum. so we should plan for this.

I think you are vastly overestimating what Power you will get from a solar panel. What matters is not an open circuit voltage but Voltage * Current. There will be no power available at night & even during daylight hours you will see the Power increase and then drop off again over a 12 Hour period. Exactly how this happens will depend on your location and how clear the sky is etc.




Here is an example of what to expect.

Just wanted to share and keep you interested.

Thats really cool, but when i did research, the prohibitive cost was the yearly upkeep of short lived and expensive batteries. I would love to learn an alternative/cheap way to store power, however.

You could pump some water in a high ground reserve and when you need power, use the gravity and water to power hydroturbine!

I laughed. Yeesssss of course.... A kinetic battery, why not?

Let me just pump 10 pool worth of water over my head, to last the night on my S5

You can find cheap regulators :

It's all about how much and where you invest off course , but even this old article shows how much potential solar power has :

We could have "free" global solar energy
If you google Gobi desert + solar energy you see the Chinese understand that:
