Flux: An important tool for any
soldering work, including work with solar cells and panels, Flux is used to
clean surfaces that will be soldered together to improve wetting by the solder
in the molten state. One tube of flux is enough to work with 20-30 solar cells
of any size. For safety reasons, Silicon Solar recommends that only those
experienced in soldering use flux with our solar cell products.

Would you like to run a few lights, maybe a
TV/DVD combo or a small notebook computer? How about some moderately-sized
machine tools? An investment of $600 will get you there with all new
components, as long as you don’t crank your expectations up too high. How? Read
on.
First off, for the sake of simplicity we’ll
assume the system is for either a generator-run workshop, or a weekend cabin,
since that’s really where a $600 solar system belongs. In this way the PV
module can spend more time collecting energy than you’ll spend using it, so you
can invest less money in energy production (PV modules) and more money in
backup power (batteries).
But what components do you need to buy, and how
much are they going to set you back? Fifteen minutes of surfing on the Internet
turned up the following items. I’m sure a more thorough search would produce
even more favorable results:
One Uni-Solar 32-watt amorphous-silicon PV
module, 12 volts: $180.00
One Morningstar 6-amp charge controller, 12
volts: $40.00
Two Deka 92 amp-hour sealed batteries, 12 volts:
($130.00 each) $260.00
One Aims 800-watt modified sine wave inverter, 12
volts: $65.00 |
