What is a Solar Generator

186 2 Off Grid Free

What is a solar generator? This is a useful gadget that functions as a portable off-grid solar system. The market for these devices has greatly increased the past couple of years. During a power outage, a solar generator may not run your whole house, but can preserve basic quality of life and power smaller appliances.

I've used a lot of standard Electronics project boxes, but found making them out of recycled electronics to be more satisfying overall. A quick video. Hope you enjoy. // Please don't be offended if comments are not replied to - I have limited computer time due to eye problems - thank you! //

Dishwasher suitable for smaller off grid systems

10 2 Off Grid Free HD

I like to collect small appliances for use on solar power when the grid is down. In this video I play around with a small countertop or tabletop dishwasher that can run on under 1kW. That is when the heating element is on, otherwise it uses very little power. It's able to heat its own water and uses only 1.3 gallon per wash. That's pretty frugal. This video is not intended to promote any brand or product. Hope you enjoy the video.

Buyer Beware Solar Security Lights from _B_y

// Please don't be offended if comments are not replied to - I have limited computer time due to eye problems - thank you! // A lot of solar security lights on a certain online auction site claim to be made out of aluminum alloy. Actually that isn't true they're just plastic. Aluminum costs more and holds up well in the sunlight and weather conditions. In this video I take apart one of these solar lights and find it's not so weatherproof after all.

Cooking with a Solar Generator - Slow Cooker

// A documented experiment to see if a small solar generator and solar array can actually cook food. I believe every household should have backup solar power, even if it is a small system. There are hard times ahead and prepping is smart. Hope you enjoy the video! I am not very active on comments because of eye problems impacting computer use, it is what it is. //

Weatherproofing outdoor electronics - Conformal Coating

52 1 Electronics Free

Conformal coating is a relatively cheap and fast way of extending the lifespan of outdoor electronics - solar security lights in this quick example. Solar lights often end up with moisture inside and fail prematurely because the circuit board gets corroded. A conformal coating can help reduce or eliminate this problem when properly applied.

//Update - After this teardown I have installed it on my shed and it's actually not bad. Not too bright but it runs all night. I'm not promoting or selling anything. Please use the picture in the video to find it if you're interested (bought it on a major auction site). Hope you enjoy the video, thank you
