my math is horrible and everyone knows ...thats why I have picaxe....and the IRS correcting me (of course with a fee! jk) okay so now i am understanding more of what the solar panel is dishing out in a watt kinda view the panels are these...

Ok that makes sense thanks .....I'm still waiting for a mppt controller Ok so is the going rate of solar panels watts per hour? 100 watts means 60 minutes which means .6 watts per minute I guess I confused my self again....so my panels are pushing 3 amps at 3 volts so 3X3= 9watt a...

thanks for that Flenser ...i seen some videos on how hard it is to pedal power which is interesting but I am still going to try build one for testing I did some testing last week with my horrible solar power I had 3 "25" watt panels in parallel and since it was 104 F degrees out the...

@ Hippy that is a cool calculator ... i never seen/used one like it and would have did the same (gave it back) if i tried to borrow it... but used many with the old red led display @ techElder its funny how things were back in the day ....like if my kid went to school with the HP-21...

Yes good info...IMHO it would've lasted 100 years if it had solar power ...I built a solar powered address sign with picaxe flashing cool leds ...only time it fails is when snow covers the solar panel but always powers back up when snows gone

yes true thanks hippy...I was thinking the camera (my pictures) was something like a ultrasonic sensor but seems to complicated for me...but thanks again
