Dear Members,
In recent days there have been several references to DIY Solar so I think it might be useful to say just what is possible - and impossible!
DIY Solar is a technique to produce the very minimum possible power from tiny pv solar panels to provide enough power for radios, LED lights, etc. It cannot power most computers!
It requires groups to use the parts sent to assemble units, with local plywood etc,, and then use/sell pv units to start an enterprise. As you will see from Peter Ongele's replies below to my queries it does need careful thought and good organisation.
What indications have you already got from previous samples?
I've seen indication from the few people who have seen them... people need these small Solar panels due to their portability and their affordable prices. Though there is a more need to do a lot of marketing and illustrations of how to use the product which already I've two electricians here who are very creative on electrical things and they are really helping me to market and illustrating how the panels can be used effectively by the community.

Can people afford an extra $2-3 for an extra battery?
Yes, there is that kind of high possibility people to spend extra money on the batteries as back ups whenever they use the Solar Panels. They need to store the solar power to use in the night also. What is the voltage of these batteries compared to 6v and 12v?

Most projects fail! Just how this happens is often unknown but very likely where no-one is willing to be as organised as Peter!
Let me have your postal address and a small sample pack will be on its way!
