Although imperfect, someone just making simple solar tracking from rotor attached to the mini solar panel.
If the sun move away and these mini solar panel get exposed to the sun, it will turn on the rotor until the mini solar panel get shadowed and stops the rotor.
It works without arduino for automation, but you need to reset the position every night.
A simple automation could reset the position at sunset.

It's that reflected light I'm freaking out about. in electrical engineering I asked what about the ongoing additions of solar panels by the millions exasurbating the effect of infra red heating of our planet from the layer of smoke in our atmosphere from thousands of years of burning fossil fuels and other substances. were still being affected by smoke from fires as early as the 1600s

Im a NABCEP board certified inspector for PV systems and about to have a degree in electrical engineering in February. And this is one of the more in depth Solar centered videos Ive ever seen. Absolutely amazing. I will definitely tell our design people about the pvcase tool as well, it sounds great. Thank you! I plan to tell everyone I work with to watch this

Excellent and comprehensive solar primer! Everyone interested in PV systems should watch this.
I think you could have used higher numbers for some of your efficiencies. Modern inverters, especially for large installations, are typically >98% efficient. And modern commercial solar cells are >25% efficient and climbing.

Great! Very details, very professional illustration.
Thanks for your video.
By the way, I set up a cooling system to maximize my solar panel efficiency on a hot day. By installing the sprinkler for 10 minutes, 5 times a day in an hour interval. I always get the maximum KW generated from the solar system.

Dude, do engineers (agronomists, mechanical, electrical, etc) know how to demonstrate the formulas they learn in college? From a simpler formula such as the area of a square to more complex calculation formulas, for example? Or in colleges, due to time, one learns the ready-made formula without demonstrating

You should have mentioned anti-island in the case of an power outage, and it adds cost, protects the line workers from electrocution. Since it costs more, most installs won't have ant-islanding, meaning the batteries will not power the house on a grid power failure.

Awesome video! This makes me realize how backward our blackboard/whiteboard based classroom education system is. You just made me understand how the solar cells work, why they are able to generate power continuously and how interesting this technology is.

I'm guessing the LED cannot power itself for Nothing is 100% efficient reasons and the LED would slowly lose energy by radiating it as heat. Also unless you encase the LED completely in solar cells, it will also lose energy that way.

Yes, if you reverse the solar panel, and pump power INTO it, it turns it from a solar panel, producing electricity, to heating panel, producing infrared light and heat. you turn it into a really inefficient heater. :-P

Most of our appliances require AC power. well. yes but actually no - most of our appliances actually need DC power and come with a rectifier built in. AC is simply easier to transport and generate.

Ive never needed any more answers in a topic that you covered.
If you prepare Battery Sizing for Off-Grid systems we couldnt be more proud of you brotha.
Thank you so much tho

Great job! I wish your content was readily available when I was young in the 70s as it is now days. So many people take for granted the knowledge that is sitting in their cell phones.

Hi Paul - can you make a video how to add automatic forward/reverse to a small 110V motor. Im not sure if it is an AC or DC motor - can you perhaps show both scenarios - many thanks

I bought, solar panels, but the issue is no current is flowing, although the digital meter is showing volts, what can I do to fix, what might be the causes of it?

As a science teacher, this video helps me further understand the concept of laddering of electrons and energy levels and I can simplify this to my students.

Somehow, for some reason, this is much easier for me to understand rather than the tutorials I watched before when setting up a simple Solar power setup.

You might want to advise that you accidentally put the wrong voltage 6 minutes for the wattage. If I am mistaken, could someone clarify it for me. Thanks

I'm sure a LED can power itself because even tv remote IR sensors are basicly black Led's and emit a small current when tv remotes point towards them

The problem with large solar panels is that the sun's light doesnt reach the ground anymore.
Life depends on the sun.
Earth needs the sun.

Instead of solar panels, i charge my batteries with my stationary bicycle.
1 hour on the bike is enough to recharge my car of its daily use.

the solar cell could power itself, for a little bit, but needs an outside source of light first before anything happens!
