Turn Your Homemade Battery Packs into a Solar Generator
https://preparednessadvice.com/electronics/turn-your-homemade-battery-packs-into-a-solar-generator

A couple of days ago I showed how to make a simple 12 volt battery pack, Homemade Battery Packs Are Inexpensive and Easy to Make (See: http://preparednessadvice.com/electroni ... y-to-make/ . I am showing how simple it is to charge the battery packs with solar power. This is the same thing that you pay a lot of money for if you purchase a commercial solar generator. I use these packs for running lights, charging batteries, and running my ham radios. Their uses are only limited by your imagination. --- CONTINUED at LINK, above ---

How to Make a Portable Solar Generator

Why Solar?

Currently, solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available. Solar energy is completely free and produces no pollutants. The only limitation is that it energy produced is dependent on the amount of sunlight that is received.

But solar panels are bulky and expensive!

Not anymore! This project uses a slim ultra efficient solar panel making the system Portable, Cheap and Highly Effective. Modern advances in photo voltaic systems have been able to shrink down large panels into smaller and lighter panels, in fact there is a solar powered plane currently flying around the world!

Basically, what this is is a way to charge a 12v battery using the sun. This project is great for beginners and can even be used for a small off grid power source. That way, no matter where you are, as long as you have the sun you have power. ---CONTINUED at LINK, above---

https://modernsurvivalonline.com/homemade-portable-solar-generator/

I had been thinking of constructing a portable solar generator for some time. I remember seeing a news story on a local company that was marketing a “new” product.

(SNIP) ... So after contemplating for a while and having gone the “harbor freight” course, I started gathering my items. First I did some research on solar. And the internet is full of information… ---CONTINUED---
