Portable Solar Powered 220V Power Supply

This Instructable show you to make a very simple,green and portable solar power supply. Can even be used for camping, blackout, home power source and more.
I am just a grade 6 students having concerns with the environment.
Some things might not be mentioned due to lack of time. I'm in school (grade 6)
I will always edit my Instructables weekly.

Like I always say "Everything starts with small things" so lets contribute to the environment.

-I have another 30W solar panel at the roof.
-If you see mistakes please inform me.
-If you want to add things inform me again.
-Please SUBSCRIBE and RATE IT A 5 STAR.
-Please leave a comment.
-I wish i will get fetured.

Thanks dude for everything. I really need this for my house because we always have blackout in our place at least now i can power the fans and lights here with a small box. How much did you buy for the two inverters. Good job, I love your projects

[ASCAS]

Here in the Philippines there a store called CD-R King you can find almost everything and it's cheep. -> http://www.cdrking.com.ph/ <- The 150W Inverter cost P650 ($13) The 500W Inverter cost P880 ($18) You can even buy a webcam with MIC for only P200 ($4)

[aqueel125]

please tell me how many solar cell or panels you use(with watt and volt of per panel or cell)?

[ASCAS]

Connect it in parallel (+ to +) and (- to -). you might want to add a doide or a charge controller.

[wilmadan]

hello ,

i just want to ask what's the use of the 150w inverter in the circuit...because in you diagram i never saw any output for that....thanks,,,your project is very useful specially in our country that is brown out stricken one...

[ASCAS]

All schematics are 230v 150W.

[pmcampbell2]

Out of curiosity, can anyone purchase from that store, or only Philipinos? And you did a great job on this instructable, only being in the 6th grade says something about your future. Good luck to you.

[ASCAS]

I think only Philippinoes only purchase at that store. A Philippino owns those store branches. Those stores are everywere i thnk there are about 300 of them here in our country. Its a heaven of gadgets.

wow maraming pinoy dito ha????ma hilig rin pala kayo nang mga ganito ^_^

[deathnote_213]

tama hehehe..^_^

[Dosayla4wd]

my FB kaba pre???

[ASCAS]

I used a total of 185 watts of solar panel all in all

[ASCAS]

meron po ^_^

[Daniel Deacon]

ebay international sell them for around £10

[ASCAS]

Yeah! I can totally sell them for 10 pounds :))) although I'm still a kid/minor :((( I don't have any credit cards nor paypal.

[Daniel Deacon]

oh, you dont need to be an adult to get paypal just get a debit card and sign up for paypal im under 18 ;)

You project looks promissing. It is a great project for a 13 years old guy. I like it.

But a few things bugs me:
You use your solar power bank to power up:
Wifi
Fan
TV
PS1
VHS
DVD
Question is: Powering up all those devices with that small power bank,how long does it last? 1/2 hour?

In the pictures I see You're using 8 small solar pannels, can you post their specs? 'Cos they look too small to me to charge such a battery to power up so many devices.

By the way thanks for sharing.

[ASCAS]

- I don't power it all :))) but if you do, the battery will only last for 40 mins.
- I've made hundreds of circuits like a 2x100w MOSFET amp, active filters, NE555 Solar powered lamp, and etc. I would love to post my projects although taking pictures of it while constructing it would be a hassle. These are just my the simple ones I have, since you can just make it for a short period of time.

[dagob]

Thanks Angelo.Have you thought about adding a voltage meter in the box?

[jmoraleda]

bro, pwede mo b ako bentahan ng finish product mo? magkano po aabutin? tnx and more power sayo

[wai-ayo]

charge controller in sulit.com.ph

[ASCAS]

pede :))

[Daniel Deacon]

you need to fuse it definately car fuses cost £3 for 120 all lots of different ranges

[Daniel Deacon]

that wire needs to be at least 15 awg unless you use relays

[ASCAS]

Here in our country elecronic parts are very cheap because a lot of semi condotor companies are based here. For example 85Watt Solar Panel costs for about $4, 12V Plugs cost for 50 cents, Inverters cost forabout $6, 12V 9Amp batteries cost for about $12.

[qwerty156]

That is definatley a typo.
85 Watts for $4?

[ASCAS]

if im correct yes it's true they sell solar panels here so cheaply. Even poor farmers have them in the Rural area

[qwerty156]

No.
A 85 Watt panel costs $200 in the us. What your are claiming is that your country is 50 times cheaper. If if costed that less, people would get it shipping from phillipines.

Get your facts right before posting

[sahilverma]

I dont think a 85 watt solar panel will cost $ 4...........the link given below shows that the price per watt(cost/watt) in ohillipines is around 150 pesos -220 pesos($3.3 - $ 5 ).....
so according to the above data 85 watts of solar panel should be = approximately ($4 * 85 = $340) which is almost double the price of a 85 watt solar panel available on ebay.com

the phillipine link ---> http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/classifieds+directory/q/solar+panels

[sahilverma]

can u pls tell me the name of the store from which u buy solar panel 85 Watt for $4 !!?
and if possible can u send me some solar panels.....i will pay their cost + shipping charges ?
Pls man if u can then pls do .....am in desperate need of these here a 85 watt cost $120-150

[alpe_97]

Im doing this same project sortof

[alpe_97]

How much do you think it weighs? Is the battery heavy?

[nunong]

prices in sulit is quite expensive.. he's right. electronic parts in raon is cheaper. :)

[nunong]

san ka nakabili ng solar panels? magkano? 30w each ba yun? ilang volts? ;)

[ASCAS]

Sa US to galing regalo ng tito ko. Pero may bago ako ngayon galing raon 60W, 12V nasa P200.00 isa.

[nunong]

ay asteeg yun brah... san sa raon? dami kasi electronic store dun eh. tinest mo na 60w talaga? gaano kalake?

[Zerocool818]

just those solar panels wont cut it they are too little wattage you might want to consider mono crystaline panels just google them and im just beating you by one grade i did what you do in 4th grade ;)

[sahilverma]

Hi ,
I think you have decent kowledge about this stuff can u pls post me these specifications :-
1) battery (no. of batteries,voltage,wattage)
2)solar panel (minimum wattage of solar panel possible )

Thanks

[sahilverma]

What was your total cost including solar panels ?

[sahilverma]

from where can i get these plugs?
