This panel can put out close to 100 watts ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
amazing
More than wonderful work, you deserve a thousand likes, and I hope that the Arabic language will be added to the translation. I am from Egypt and I really enjoyed watching, thank you and we are always waiting for your new

I applaud your intellect, craftsmanship and inventiveness, but your project is about as DIY as a moon landing.
Thanks! Well you can make the housing out of wood or plastic or just borrow the machines like I did. The rest is all DIY
Well the moon landings were pretty fking diy dickhead
I totally applaud your genuineness and sincerity in the way you work, step-by-step, you're a nice guy, and I really like your work.
Love that you emphasize the need of turbulent flow contra laminar flow. 👌
nice to have the right tools for the job I always keep a press brake like this in my back pocket
You can make the housing out of wood, plastic, or you can ask someone to bend it for you like I did. Hope it helps!
Very immpresive! Meticulous theory paralleled w assembly.
I was thinking of something like this to give me hot water for my workshop., water supplied by the rain, filtered and then heated and stored in a hot water tank for use. Very informative video, thanks for sharing.
This is old technology, we in the UK built these 4 mtr panels in 1972. Our panels were made of copper sheet and had 15 mm copper pipe soldered to the copper sheet. They worked very well under glass until the Thermomax tubes came along. These tubes are now very low price and provide all your hot water requirements !
Hello...
A year later, you'll need to remind yourself of this.
Question: If this was practiced in the seventies, and you remember it, did you read Papanek's Design For The Real World? This isn't in it, but is in a similar vein. I'm 59, UK resident and come yearly to Kerala. Love seeing how the people here sort problems. I'm curious as to what readers thought of his book at the time. I read it in the mid-eighties and still love it. If you never read it, sorry.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
He man, you are so great handkrafter and i like your form for steel forming verry well, you think before working this is wunderful. Kind wishes from Germany
I yeah everyone have the equipment in the kitchen drawer:)
What, are you saying you don't have a brake press in the kitchen drawer?
you are a genius , you are very good , free electricity , very useful videos need wide application
that jig you made was pretty cool
From Brazil américa do sul. Hello my brother!!! Porto Alegre.
Name for your panel is solar collector loved every part of the video thou.
yeah i thought it was solar photovoltaic panel he was making.. turns out to be a solar heater!
Awesome. Can't wait for the continuation.
Solar collector not solar panel.
Still a good informative video!
Yup definitely looks easy too build just 👍
This is a passive heat collector? Nice!!!
1 suggestion as i watch . Use better sealants. Maybe the self sealing butyl rubber for new home window flashing . That stuff stays soft in hot weather . High temperature RED engine sealants would work great also .
Very nice aluminium handicraft. Other one is not necessary.
Thanks! What other do you mean?
That groove jig is groovy. 🤣 forgive the cheesy joke. Awesome engineering
Far more then is needed here in Southern New Mexico. Your machine would most likely work as a Flash Boiler.
Really nice execution, but so much work involved! I think it would be very interesting to compare this type of construction with something using more off the shelf parts like omega style heat transfer plates intended for in-floor radiant heat loops. Those transfer plates in 4 foot lengths are about $2-3 USD in 100ft quantities. To me that seems pretty cheap compared to the time to make your own.
But this does look entirely scalable... 🤔
@@keithedwards9953 above the prototype level, would be better off building a more robust and easier method of creating the panels. The pros use a roller system similar to seamless gutters.
@@bradley3549 yeah, I'm pretty sure you could save the headache if you ordered everything prefab.
عالی
and honestly, I down own big metal fabrication machinery. Other than a machine shop, I don't know of anyone who has one and their labor is expensive.
Just a thought but when two different metals such as copper and aluminum are in direct contact it causes galvanic corrosion. You could use the thermal paste that goes between a cpu and its heatsink. If would increase your heat transfer and act as a dielectric preventing contact between the metalsm
@@merchantmareed It happens even dry. When I was a pipefitter we had to use dielectric couplings when attaching pipes of different metals on even on air lines.
@@merchantmareed So as long as your in a vacuum...as in outer space. But anywhere on earth it happens.
Good Lord bruw, use termoconductive paste in between the Allum and copper also don’t forget to sand both pipe and plate contact areas for maximum effect. Your welcome also thanks this is proof of concept on another idea that’s in the makings.🎉
That's a lot of work and materials that is unnecessary. But I'm glad I watched . As I am planning a new diy channel. I believe the insulation is a huge plus .
I’ve subscribed to your RUclips channel and all blessings from Ireland
Hello, i am from mexico, very good video
Keren mantap pembuat solar sel nya bang👍
Wow this is amazing
Thank you
Likewise!
Excellent concept; execution and presentation.
When doing your 3 passes through the grove making clamp instead of lifting it out after each pass and feeding it through for the second and third just feed it back the opposite way then back again. Staying within the runners for all 3 passes
Thanks for you 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🌸🌸🌸from Morocco
wow, whenever i work on something like this.. it always ends up looking like a dogs breakfast... very nice work
that means you'd make a great politician!
My "projects" at home are proof of concept, and/or utilitarian. When I do work on a customers site, I do finish work. My wife saw a customers house after I was done adding new circuits for pin lights, wall outlets, etc. It was at that moment she realized I could do beautiful work, not just the perpetually unfinished construction zone style I had subjected her to for 20 years. She turned and gave me that look, the one that could strip the heat shielding off the space shuttle. I am caulking baseboards in the room additions as we speak.
Inspiring experiment, keep it up Brother!👍
Good job.... Salute for you... I want to make it to...👍👍🙏🙏
DIY in your dreams ... without those incredible machines there is nothing to do :(((
You could make the housing out of wood, trespa (High Pressure Laminate-plate), some other plastic or ask someone to bend the aluminum for you like I did, the rest is DIY. Hope it helps!
Un grand BRAVO de France
Awesome project. I want to make my own Solar panels but it seems it is not easy. I hope there is an easier and cheaper way 🤭✌️ good luck always for you 🙏
Could have used an aluminum rod to press the pipe seat in one pass, plus use aluminum tube as the pipe to then weld braze the pipe to the aluminum sheet for full thermal bond. But you have it working and looks great.
Very nice 👍👍👍 job sir.
Good hit, Kuki dand 🇮🇳🇮🇳👍👍👍
What about just bolting on the side frame with some gaskets for easier building?
This is awesome ! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Nice, im curious to see how it will perform
Happy Utility Independent’s day !!!
Very good and skillful. Thank you
Super project👽👍
Nice video, keep it up, thanks for sharing :)
I wish if i have a friend like you
Very interesting, fantastic job. One thing though, how can I as DIY person myself do that without any of that industrial machinery?
You could make the housing out of wood, plastic, or just borrow one, like I did. Hope it helps!
Die grinder . I can do that lol 20 bucks harbor frieght?
Very nice project!
If it gets hot enough, you can either use peltiers or Stirling engines to get a little electricity for the system and as long as you have a drop from height in the system you can also use a water turbine as well. It's not much electricity 10w but that's still enough to add extra charge to a system.
I think the temperature of the panel (not higher than 30c) is not hot enough to be useful for a peltier or a sterling engine. And the water doesn't drop because it is a closed loop. But good thinking! 👍
@@TheDIYScienceGuy well the Stirling would still work at that temperature but it's cold side would have to be in the building or something because it works through temperature difference. It starts working depending on the efficiency of the design at a 2 degrees C positive and 2 degrees C negative difference per side which means during summer it would work and winter it would work but it would be awful during evened out temperatures.
Yes, that's true. But even if it runs with such a small temperature difference, it doesn't produce much power. But it will be fun nonetheless! 😀
It says super easy to build. Yes, if you have all the machines you need to build it a regular Homeowner cannot build it so easy.
Excellent work, you have done many well thought out technical details, the silicone for maximum transfer was a very good idea. Congratulations. You have my suscription and my like.
You should consider checking out Tech Connections page.. he has a formula/method for creating a thermal paste for extremely cheap and it would conduct better than your silicon.
Yes I know that one, but found it to much work. It works great with silicone btw. Thanks for the info! 👍
And you should pre-cut that chip before you start bending and I think you can bend from both ends and work it out like that little bit different construction but the same process with less things do on it more efficient and faster to assemble
let me look in my toolbox for some of these tools
Well I borrowed them, so can anyone else.
Nice work man!
What a fun video😁😁
Nice work. If the unit will not be used at mains water pressure, perhaps you can dispense with the copper pipe and use the silicone to seal the tube made from the two halves of aluminium? Connecting pipes will be required that can be made the same way. This eliminates thermal transfer resistance between pipe and plates.
Perhaps you can just use two sheets of aluminium with spacers and sealing at the edges and bypass the piping aspect altogether?
Another thought is if its possible to heat both sides at once with insulated sheets as reflectors? \
There there is the option of a linear parabolic dish focused on the pipe.
You guys really started the creative juices going!
You can buy heat conducting silicone that actually conducts heat better than heat sink compound.
.. grappig....ik maakte ca. 40 jaar geleden ook zulke panelen......wel met een houten bak.....we hadden 4 bakken van 150x100cm ( als ik het mij goed herinner)....en maakte met een warmtewisselaar van koperen pijp in de zomer een vat van 1m3 water tot 65 graden. De boer waar we de (test) installatie voor bouwde kon z'n ogen niet geloven! Dit was begin 1980 en toen nog wat bijzonders......
Nice project! I was wondering about how you prevent corrosion of the metals. Copper in direct contact with aluminium corrodes. Is the silicone layer enough to prevent that?
Thanks! Well as long as there is no electrolyte like salt water not much will happen anyway.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy
Use a thermo Dielectric Paste.
1. Transfers Heat
2. Stopping Corrosion of the two Different metals.
Photovoltaic / Solar Thermal Technician here: change the title
what you built is a solar collector aka solar thermal collector not solar panel that converts solar energy to electricity. a tree can also be called solar collector when you think about it. i've built collectors from scratch. a lazy mans quick solar collector is also using a commercial grade garden hose. paint your collector black, yes makes a difference, i know that even without painting it still gets hot but been proven hotter if black and doesn't cause glare. i still give you a thumbs up.
If the ambient temperature doesnt come less than 5 degree celciuos in all seasons the evacuated glass tube heat collectors are the best for domestic water heating systems.
But it does where I live. And I think my panel is much easier to build.
Super easy huh! Yep, I’m sure everyone ha a brake press, guillotine and bender in their back yard, and thermal tanks to support what your actually making is solar water heating, ? and a lot of gibba Gabba, along with the cost of materials I’m sure all grandmothers will have this whipped up in their kitchens tonight !
Maybe add some thermo paste in between the copper pipe and the aluminum plate to help increase the thermo transfer between the two?
Yes, that would work, but silicone works just as well with such a thin laye, and it glues the parts together.
Yes you can Solder Copper to Aluminum. RUclips has some good video's showing how. Check it out.
You are right!!! Thanks for telling me! Still I think the method we use now is easier and maybe cheaper but still, it's interesting! 👍
Very nice work.
you can buy thous aluminium plates with grouws for floor heating
Interested in the calculating of laminar flow and turbulent flow, where did you guys find the information to calculate? And thanks for posting all these awesome videos! VERY COOL and informative. THANKS!
It's related to the Reynolds number.

I like it...🤩🤩🤩
This is not a solar panel, but a solar water heater design.
Good job
Amazing 👏
چون پسر خوبی بودی درست گفتی چیکار کنیم تا پنل خورشیدی خوبی درست کنیم تمام جزئیاتشم گفتی دمت گرم خداازت رازی باشه
نمیدانم میتوانم این را خوب ترجمه کنم یا نه، گوگل آن را روشن نمیکند
Thank you!
Press it again on the bulb 😉
Sorry, what do you mean?
очень красивая получилась безделушка. Прежде чем делать надо было физику подучить.
Вот на вскидку несколько ошибок:
1.Алюминий с медью образуют гальвано пару, не зависимо от наличия электролита.
2. узкая трубка с большим количеством поворотов создаст хгачительное сопротивление для движения воды.
3. поверхность пластин без чернения будет отражать значительную часть энергии в космос.
4. большая часть тепла не будет передаваться на трубку из-за малой площади соприкосновения с пластинами. Часть площади просто не будет передавать тепло на трубку.
Самое главное, что все эти проблемы устранимы, достаточно просчитать по фоомулам.
Вы уже видели 2 и 3 части?

Great! Making those collectors looked a bit cumbersome. I was wondering if it would be possible to use floor heating radiator plates for this purpose.
Thanks! If it has a grove and conducts heat well I'd say why not.
I used underfloor spreader plates for mine.
Nice idea! But we don't use those where I live so they are hard to come by.
Good night good news
Best workers😃😊😋😎😍
hi how exactly this provide electricity?
looks way different than any solar panels yet so simple
Isn’t it reflecting lot of the sun?
Why it doesn’t have that black material?
What is the physics behind this?
It produces hot water.
This is part 1 of 3.
Here are PART 2: ruclips.net/video/jeKHMe0kVbI/видео.html
And part 3: ruclips.net/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/видео.html
Impressive attention to detail. Why bother with so many small segments though? Seems like it would have been way easier to use a full sheet along the front or back and only small channels to clamp the copper tubing
Thanks! A full sheet will warp when it heats up, so small segments break the tension.
Interesting! Thanks very much
Thinking about this overnight:
As aluminium and copper are such a good conductors, I think that that good contact every few inches would have been sufficient.
However my big concern is the length of the pipe. I can agree on the turbulent flow bit, but I think that you need large diameter side rails to carry the water in and out. That long pipe is going to severely restrict flow. The optimum design of solar collectors has been decided for years now.
The points of contact would be the size of a needle points, this is also a big issue with normal heat sinks and that is why they use heat conducting past. It's indeed a long pipe but the calculations tell us that it will work. We will see if the theory holds up. 😉 Thanks for thinking along! 👍
What style of coil is more efficient in absorbing heat, a continuous single loop as you have made, or multiple parallel tubes connected to manifolds on top and bottom?
Excellent build. With solar panel prices what they are why not just heat with electricity? With (8) 275 rated panels 4s2p , a disconnect and a 2000w 120vac water tank element ( in the lower tank position) you have a safe self regulating water heating system with no worries about leaks ,freezing etc. Over temp is controlled by a proper thermal DC switch.
Thanks! Yes that would be a simpler system but you need much more surface area to get the same amount of power.
Very good 👍
good vedio
You want rigid and water-tight? Weld it...it'd be less effort than what you did. You're very clever ! I'm sure you could design and build a roller-jig to impress the copper-pipe groove just by turning a wheel that rolls the sheet aluminum through. At some point your time becomes more valuable than material or accomplishment.
My welder can't weld aluminum, and my methode is more DIY 😉
@@TheDIYScienceGuy Uhhh...DIY??? Really? Using those large sheet-metal cutting and bending machines is DIY?
I thought you meant how I sealed the joints of the aluminum housing. Indeed the bending is not very DIY but you can always pay someone to do that for you.
Good
Chào bạn! Để làm được tấm panel cần những vật liệu gì, bạn có thể chia sẻ chi tiết hơn được không? Cảm ơn bạn nhiều.
đây là tất cả những gì tôi có về chủ đề này: ruclips.net/video/jeKHMe0kVbI/видео.html và ruclips.net/video/DIk2mcJ7NHs/видео.html hy vọng nó giúp!
Thanks
Looks good. I wonder why you didn't lay the copper pipe transversely across the unit.
Have you heard of using black !/2" pipe coils in a wooden box covered in glass? Paint the wood black on the inside and build high enough that you can get 3 or 4 coils inside the box. works very well and very cheap. Get much better results than this rig will. Just an observation.
Nice.
