Lady Bird Johnson Middle School, in Irving, TX, has a bunch of them on the roof. They gave us a tour of the place when my daughter started going there. Pretty cool. It's a Net Zero building.
Thanks for this. I had no idea Irving had done such a thing. will take a look next time i'm in that neighborhood.
I have 320 of these units on my business. 805 mwh produced since 2010 with zero maintenance and zero down time. installed on white TPO.
That's awesome! Too bad Solyndra went under, hard to compete I would say.
I have two of these new that I got in CA for an assessment when Solyndra was still in business. They have sat in my basement in VA ever since. I thought about using it in an emergency issue to charge devices but could not a find a suitable inverter.
Main benefit is no bolt installation and no problems with snow
Wow, that's crazy but cool 😎
I was thinking to purchase some of these used in Northern Nevada... you just helped me change my mind. But - I am still not sure.
nice video
100w is about what I was getting on concrete the other day as well. Was hoping for more.
Thanks for going through some testing! Didn’t think about radiant barrier, I’ve got some of that sitting in my garage too. Ha ha
I agree the other part is how many kwh they generate over the course of a day. Need to see if I have a way to measure that with this panel next to a standard panel over the course of an entire day.
Yeah thats what I'm thinking, the extra power they generate throughout the day probably makes them average out to the rated 157w compared to a normal panel angled to the south. I have a standard 130w panel I was thinking about a test setup where I can measure power generation for the whole day and see which one comes out ahead.
maybe use reflective fluorescent sheet on the bottom will work better?!
Have you tried mounting them vertically? Would be interesting to see how they perform.
I have not, I played with these this one time only. But now you're giving me some ideas so I might pull these out again!
This is Solyndra
Fremont and Milpitas CA
What if you stand them up at 90°?
How can I get these panels? Link i description doesn't work
Have you already had a chance to check your data in vertical mode?
Not yet. I keep looking at these stacked up against a wall in the back of my house, and thinking I wan't to do something with them. I'll get around to playing with them again I hope!
Thank you I'm thinking of buying 150 units and making a border out of them
How many would it take of this type to run a home?
I think average home solar install is around 10kw. so 10,000 / 157w = 63.69 so you would need 64 panels. Which is only a 8x8 array of these, I would probably ground mount these if you had the land space. Lay some white gravel rock, and suspend these off the ground 1 foot. Would also need to keep weeds from growing through.
I clicked link i description and was told nothing in link. How can I get these panels?
He may be out of stock. Here's his website beenebrothers.com/
How strong are the tubes?
They are glass, I've never tried to break one. Maybe able to withstand small hail?
Is this the company that ultimately went bankrupt?
Yes
Brad how how can i get in touch your buddy with them solar panels for sale....Peace
I just put his info in the description.
@@BradCagle ok thank you...Peace
Another expensive B-HO folly...
Lotta surface area for 100 watts and how would you clean them?
Yeah i think these will produce more than a 100w panel throughout the day because the design is pretty much a built in solar tracker. Should be fairy self cleaning during rain, or just hose them down if you do the pergola idea.
ease of cleaning was one of the key points of the design, since the individual tubes are round they naturally reject dirt buildup, objects like leaves or pine needles will pass right through. snow buildup would be minimal and would clear itself quickly. overall it really was a great idea, it's too bad that the chinese solar industry ramped up it's production of conventional panels that were a lot cheaper, and there was no way solyndra could compete with that.
I did the math. It costs $160 for a KW/16 cents per Watt production per hour. Each 157W panel weighs about 78lbs/35 kilos though.
My portable foldable 120W panels weigh just 10lbs, but costs $1.67 per Watt.
My panels included delivery, but those shown would need their delivery fee included to make a fair comparison.
These would be pickup only. Definitely not a portable solution :) If you're close to North Texas, and have a nice flat spot for these, they are a good deal. Other than that, not so much.
@@BradCagle, I saw another video from your supplier in Texas where he explained that Tom at Battery Hookup in Bensalem, PA had used 210W panels. I visited him before, since he's local to Philly! His idea to rent a Uhaul trailer seems to be a good idea to reduce shipping costs.
@@gregyohngy Yes Battery Hookup has the 210w modules. I think they are a little larger. They also have the mounts. You can use my discount code BMC to get another 5% off if you buy them.
The gap is called cigs line
That panel was $650 per panel in 2010
Wow, that was very pricy 😅
they are junk panels....
It looks so.
