Hybrid Solar Charger For iPhone 3G, 3G S Black

We will hiking for a month and have been looking for ways to charge our iPhones on the trail.

After waiting for months, my white/orange surge finally arrived! It's beautiful and about the same size as a Mophie Juice Pack (charging case), and the same price.

After using it for about a month, here's my review.

1) as a plug in/extra battery charger case, it rocks. I wear it with a carabiner on my belt loop while its recharging my phone (about 1-2 hours). It's easy to use and after an initial problem getting my phone to sit correctly, it now slides in easily and firmly.

2) as a purely solar charger, it is disappointing. I've tried leaving the charger sit in the direct and indirect sun that hits my porch for three days, and it was still barely charged. I've tried sitting it on my dashboard (to absorb sunlight through the windshield), and it gets hardly any juice. As a purely solar charger, I'm not going to get enough power for my daily email needs on the hike.

Having said that, I would still recommend the Surge. It is the same size as a Juice Pack and functions exactly the same (plug into my computer to charge the case, carry it around in my purse till I need it) and works very well. As solely a solar charger, it is lacking. But who cares? If I can get a little juice from the sun and consume a little less from the grid, then its a good thing. The cost is the same as other charging cases, and the Surges are very cute! Maybe those living closer to the equator get better sun power.

Note; When the Surge battery is almost empty, it is best to disconnect the iPhone and let the Surge charge up on solar power alone. Why? As the Surge battery gets empty, the phone flips back to using its own battery, then when the Surge has collected a tiny bit of power from the sun, it flips back to charging mode. I was serenaded by beeping every 20-30 seconds until I realized this was happening. Unplug the phone, let the Surge charge up again on its on from the sun, then plug it back in if you need more power.

Solar power from such a tiny panel is, well, tiny. But I love the case and would recommend it for anyone considering a powered case.

(We ended up also buying a HyperShop HyperDrive MBP-60 ($200) to carry backpacking - It weighs one pound and will charge our phones 14 times! Worth it!)

The basics are laid out in an easy informative manner with tips on how to find wholesale panels, getting solar panels if you are a renter, use of solar energy for your pool and much more.
Solar Energy For The Home: The Facts About Solar PanelsI was looking for some basic information about solar panels. I don't like to be misinformed when contractors come to my house. This book covered all the basics on what to look for and how to buy panels. I found it to be helpful. Some of the books I looked at were more expensive and were either for engineers or DIY people who want to build panels from scratch. Not my cup of tea and I am not about to climb up on my roof. So if you are looking for a book with a bunch of diagrams and such, this one is not it. But it did help me to talk to people and get estimates, and since I knew nothing about solar panels or contractors, that made it worth the price.There is also information on solar panels for renters and for your RV if you are interested.

Function of solar charge controller

A solar charge controller (or solar regulator) is a device which limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from deep cycle leisure batteries in a solar electric system. It prevents overcharging which can reduce battery performance or lifespan, and may even pose a safety risk. It also prevents completely draining ("deep discharging") of a battery which can also reduce battery lifespan.
Basically, the function of the charger controller is set up / set voltage obtained from the hot sun for an entry into the battery voltage becomes excessive.

You need to buy the best quality solar charge controller to increase your battery's life. A cheap solar charge controller will result in short life of the battery and you will have to incur expenses by replacing your batteries regularly. Most of the solar kits have easy installation methods and if you follow the instructions step by step you will not face any challenges.

 The quality of your solar charge controller affects the lifespan of your batteries. When the battery has a charge deficit the lead plates which are inside the battery corrodes and this process of corrosion produces electricity. When you recharge your batteries, your plates are also rebuilt which supplies ample charge.

Definition of Solar Power Inverters

A solar inverter is a crucial element in a solar energy system. The solar power inverter is an electrical inverter that converts the direct current energy (DC) into alternating current (AC) for use either in a home or on an energy grid. The inverter is often the most expensive component of solar energy system.
Solar inverters are a critical components in solar power systems. In a solar energy system energy from the sun is gathered in photovoltaic cells (PV) that consist of semiconductor layers made of crystalline silicon or gallium arsenide. These layers are arranged in panels consisting of positive and negative layers. When the sun shines on the panels, light is absorbed and energy is transferred into the photovoltaic cell. Electrons in the light move from one layer to the other and produce an electric current. This current is direct current energy (DC). Depending on the type of system, it can either be stored for later use or sent directly to the inverter.

For regular consumer use, alternating current (AC) is required. The inverter works by running the direct current through two transistors that are rapidly turned on and off and feeding two sides of the transformer. In this way the direct current which runs in a direct line is converted into alternating current. Alternating current consists of a true sine wave (on an x-y graph a sine wave moves from zero up to a positive point then back down through zero to a corresponding negative point. Each of these cycles is called a hertz.) The current moves up and down in a smooth wave like motion consisting of 60 cycles or hertz per second.

Solar panels in parallel

There are two ways to connect solar panels. You can either connect them in series or in parallel. This concept applies not only to solar panels but to batteries and other voltage sources as well. What's important is that you hook the voltage sources together in proper sequenc
How to Connect Solar Panels in Parallel

1. Locate the positive terminal and the negative terminal on each solar panel. Refer to your panels' instructions if you need help identifying which is which.

2. Take your black wire with your left hand and connect it to the negative terminal of solar panel No. 1. Take the other end of the black wire with your right hand and connect it to the negative terminal of solar panel No. 2.

3. Take your red wire with your left hand and connect it to the positive terminal of solar panel No. 1. Take the other end of the red wire with your right hand and connect it to the positive terminal of solar panel No. 2.

4. Connect the negative terminals of panels No. 2 and 3 with your second black wire.

5. Take your second red wire and connect the positive terminal of solar panel No. 2 to the positive terminal of solar panel No. 3.

Solar Charger Controller Types

Solar Charge controls come in 3 general types (with some overlap):

1. Simple 1 or 2 stage controls which rely on relays or shunt transistors to control the voltage in one or two steps. These essentially just short or disconnect the solar panel when a certain voltage is reached. For all practical purposes these are dinosaurs, but you still see a few on old systems. Their only real claim to fame is their reliability - they have so few components, there is not much to break.

2. 3-stage and/or PWM such Morningstar, Xantrex, Blue Sky, Steca, and many others. These are pretty much the industry standard now, but you will occasionally still see some of the older shunt/relay types around, such as in the very cheap systems offered by discounters and mass marketers.

3. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), such as those made by Xantrex, Outback Power, Morningstar and others. These are the ultimate in controllers, with prices to match - but with efficiencies in the 94% to 98% range, they can save considerable money on larger systems since they provide 15 to 30% more power to the battery. Most controllers come with some kind of indicator, either a simple LED, a series of LED's, or digital meters. Some newer ones, such as the Outback FM60/80 and others now have built in computer interfaces for monitoring and control. The simplest usually have only a couple of small LED lamps, which show that you have power and that you are getting some kind of charge. Most of those with meters will show both voltage and the current coming from the panels and the battery voltage. Some also show how much current is being pulled from the LOAD terminals.All of the charge controllers that we stock are 3 or 4-stage PWM types, including the MPPT units. (in reality, "4-stage" is somewhat advertising hype - it used to be called equalize, but someone decided that 4 stage was better than 3). And now we even see one that is advertised as "5-stage"

Batteries For Solar Photovoltaic

Here is the best batteries for Solar Photovoltaic. I hope this article can be useful
Low Cost Batteries
# Generally, sealed lead acid batteries are the lowest-cost option for a photovoltaic charging system. These batteries, which are common in cars and trucks, can be purchased in both new and used condition. These types of batteries are best for a power system that is not drained constantly but, instead, stays charged regularly.

Long Life Batteries
# Gel-cell batteries, such as those found in boats, offer longer life than their sealed lead-acid counterparts. Unlike car batteries, gel-cells are not damaged when they are drained and charged repeatedly. This makes them ideal for heavy-load solar-charging applications. However, they are significantly more expensive than lead-acid models.

Bottom Line
# Users should consider the intended purpose of a solar photovoltaic system before purchasing batteries. A standby backup power system that will stay charged constantly can use lead-acid batteries, while a system that is frequently drained should use more reliable gel-cell units.

Install Solar Panels and Inverters

How to install solar panels and inverters?. Many homeowners in the United States are switching to solar power these days. In doing so, they get amazing savings on their electric bills. However, the initial solar installation cost is not affordable for all. To make the installation more cost-friendly, you should consider hooking up the solar panels and the inverters on your own.
How to install solar panels and inverters?

1. Choose a spot on your rooftop which gets consistent, unhindered sunlight all year round.

2. Use blueprints of your house to locate the position of the rafters on the house's roof. Mark each rafter using a chalk. Pre-drill holes into the rafters and fasten the panel mounts on them using stainless steel lag bolts.

3. Install metal flashing around the mounts area so there are no gaps or holes that may cause water leakage in the roof. This is a precautionary measure which must be taken to prevent potential leakages due to drilling.

4. Arrange solar panels on top of the mounts in an array. Fasten the panels to the mounts using stainless steel bolts. Wire the panels together by opening the junction box of each panel. At this point, each panel should be connected in series. The electricity produced by the panels is direct current (DC), while home appliances require alternating current (AC). An inverter is thus required to convert DC to AC.

5. Install the inverter at an appropriate area in your house, such as garage or basement.

6. Run the wiring from the last solar panel to a separate junction box. Connect a conduit from the solar panels to the power inverter in the home. Close the junction box and connect the inverter to the AC fuse-box of your home. Your household electrical appliances will now be powered by solar electricity.

How To Buy Solar Panels

This article discussing of how to buy solar panels. Solar panels are the perfect response to increasing energy costs and environmental impact, and make your home both eco friendly and cost effective. Do your research before you buy to get the right fit for your budget, property and energy needs.
1. Look at your utility bill to find out your current usage. Use this figure to calculate the quantity and type of solar panels you need to buy. From a portable energy panel for your RV to a full-scale system for an entire property, your energy requirements can vary dramatically. Never underestimate what you will use and look back through several bill statements to be accurate.

2. Contact a solar power installation expert with the dimensions and construction of your property. Structures with a flat roof or chip roofing are the ideal places to mount solar panels but they can be incorporated into most new homes. Get advice on whether or not they will suit your property and get an estimated cost for installation.

3.Research the rebates or tax credits that you may be entitled to. Doing this before you buy your panels ensures that you can find a product that meets all the criteria to maximize your savings. Compare each product against the checklist to make sure you qualify.

4.Shop around the market to find the best panels that suit your needs. As with any product, there are different brands and prices to consider and these all produce different amps and volts. Weigh up the output with brand recognition and price to find the best deal that covers your requirements.

5. Calculate the cost of buying a complete system from an installation expert versus buying the panels individually. Which is going to be the cheapest depends entirely on the scale of the project and the deals that you find on the panels themselves. If you choose to buy the panels separately, factor in all the other costs as well to find the final figure.

3 Type of solar panel

3 Type of solar panel. Solar panel / solar cells to modify the intensity of sunlight into electrical energy. Solar panels / solar cell produces a current used to charge the battery.

Solar panel / solar cell is composed of solar, which generate electricity from light intensity, the intensity of light decreases (cloudy, rainy, cloudy) the electricity generated will also decrease.

With the addition of solar panels / solar cell (expansion) is to add solar energy conversion. Typically a solar panel / solar cell to a certain size to provide specific results. For example, the size of a cm x b cm power DC (Direct Current) for x watts / hour
Type of solar panel / solar cells:
Poly-crystalline,
It is the solar / solar panel has a casual arrangement of the crystals. Compound type requires a larger surface area than other types mono-crystalline to generate the same power, but can produce electricity at the time was cloudy.

Mono-crystalline,
And panels more efficient, resulting in extensive power to the unit higher. High efficiency up to 15%. The weakness of the panels of this type is not a good place to work less sunlight (shadow) the yield would drop drastically the weather is cloudy.

Amorphous
Amorphous silicon (a-Si) has been used as a photovoltaic solar cell material for calculators for some time. Although they are lower performance than traditional c-Si solar cells, this is not important in calculators, which use very low power. a-Si's ability to be easily deposited during construction more than makes up for any downsides.

More recently, improvements in a-Si construction techniques have made them more attractive for large-area solar cell use as well. Here their lower inherent efficiency is made up, at least partially, by their thinness - higher efficiencies can be reached by stacking several thin-film cells on top of each other, each one tuned to work well at a specific frequency of light. This approach is not applicable to c-Si cells, which are thick as a result of their construction technique and are therefore largely opaque, blocking light from reaching other layers in a stack.

The main advantage of a-Si in large scale production is not efficiency, but cost. a-Si cells use approximately 1% of the silicon needed for typical c-Si cells, and the cost of the silicon is by far the largest factor in cell cost. However, the higher costs of manufacture due to the multi-layer construction have, to date, make a-Si unattractive except in roles where their thinness or flexibility are an advantage.
