Don't rush. Just wait and see. The implementing fit won't run away or close next year. When people not respond much, many good thing will throw in the program.

Some US solar site have some year end holiday sales. This is good chance to get some of this solar panel.

This kind of project is songlap project lah. It not mean for usage.

Here is my tiny mini solar project. Setup last 2week. It is for my porch car side.

I m interesting of the battery you get. Do you have detail for the address?

What kind of battery is this? It mean for solar? The price seems not that expensive.

RS expensive.But sometime I brought from them. No choice. Another 1 is Misumi which selling japan cable and good quality. About RS price but custom tax expensive for cable.

Another shop is at jalan pasar. Walk down toward the plus junction traffic light jalan pudu. The shop is abit hidden and beside the corner parking lot. Don't no what name of the shop.

You can see some cable infront and there demo a cable which submerge inside the water.

This is common.

We here have many solar panel produce factory. But you have problem find a solar panel here.

The wave is coming even so many bad thing. Malaysia is just starting. The first world is reducing the coal/ petroleum to reduce the carbon footprint.

And without you realize, you might sponsoring this if your bill more than rm77,

The world now produce exccessive solar panel. China are dumping the solar panel out and cause the price getting low. Which angry the US side and see some US manufacturing close shop.

In US during holiday sale last month, can see as low as $1/watt panel. I guess it is china panel. Hope you guys got grab some.

At here, price range around RM9/watt and above. Probably tax and shipment cost which doesn't make sense at all.

It doesn't make sense is, we have many solar panel manufacturing here. And yet get 1 panel also difficult to find. And no shipment cost involve at all. It should be lower cost.

Since gov promote RE here, at least should abolish the solar tax for the local consumption. It benifit the local and the manufacturing here. No money is flying out.

Songlap people money only.

I already got solar plant for my home server. Since it just use below 100watt for the whole thing.

That is high bill. Run 24hr can cost you RM30+.

Sorry. I means still in planning stage. Not a single work have been carry out at the moment.

Once the job done, will post here.

Still in talk kok stage.

Forget you want to buy bulk. Actually I have order some panel and relate thing from US during holiday sale. And in the process of sending back here. I m not sure is it cheap enough till I get the final cost include the transport cost and the possible tax. So it is some kind of testing this buying and delivery heavy thing.

You can get those flexible type which you can roll it smaller when shipment.

How about night operasi ahem..ahem.. you got lorry?

Yeah lah, Haven't see my item at my door step mah.

Initial stage is to try it what max it can output. My theory calculation is 500+w panel which ouput perday is 2kwh. That should be enough for my house light which I plan to do first. See what is the result before go to another stage. The initial system is upgrade able to 2kw panel.

The dilemma now is what kind of light is save in term of cost, quantity and brightness. So far best is DC all the way to light. Save the cost of inverter and have more watt and amp to output. But that would require me to change all the bulb to DC type and design an auto switching backup circuit incase.

This is small system. As I don't no how is the shipment process will endure. Afraid to buy more. I m using indirect shipping way which cost less and probably no tax. Finger cross.

Alot of this project in the net and very interesting. It remind me back some of my tennage project.

Here another website where more than thousand project you can choose -> http://www.instructables.com/

May I know what kind of battery you are replacing? I m in a mis of looking for a battery.

The LED spotlight not come in 12VDC? I see mostly in 12VDC.

Base on my calculation usage of 10wx2x12hr = 240whr. Which require 1104whr battery bank capacity (92amp battery). But need 62.4w solar panel which mean 2x50watt solar panel. Provided 5hr sunlight and 2day backup.

By the way, is that lenglui from solar power mart? I m interest of her than the panel.

5hr is max the sun shine on the panel at certain place. Some country have only 3hr. Not just the sun hr, you need the sun shine angle per your contry longtitude. And panel face south. The rest of the hr sun is not productive or less efficency.

The solar charge controller is for convert the V and A to stable charge the battery. For switching AC backup need another device.

The calculation should be correct. That is possible your battery not fully charge. And the battery cannot be use till 0 charge as it will shorten the battery life. To makesure the battery last longer, you cannot discharge more than 50%.

Another possible is your spotlight maybe run more than 20watt.

My another mini tiny solar power light project for CNY. He...

Use 2pcs solar light and modify it to power 2pcs tanglung at the car porch. The tanglung light is 2pcs LED which probably 0.6w. Once the sun down, the light will up till next morning and the solar will charge the battery again.

Original of this solar light is a door entrance or garage light. It use motion and day/light sensor to activate..

Added on January 11, 2012, 4:15 pmCar battery can't be use for solar as it cannot discharge deep. And when use in solar, it have a short lifespan than the AGM battery.
