          these panels run my house mainly refrigerator and lights my bedroom and bath room are wired with 12v lighting i have one 110v light in living room 35watts. the panel you see have lasted two tears in the winter in north Idaho. the two long one are three years old. THE THREE Bottom one are single pain glass the rest are duel pane they are heaver and I don't encapsulate my cells.These are 36 cell panel 19vole 63watt 2.5 amps The one you I built recently cost 67$. It depends on the cost of the of the solar cells. I just bought 150 cells fir 130 on eBay.

                If it is something useful to a number of the members it isn't always bad.

                Some like the one in question are more or less bandits but with a PC rather than a revolver.

                Some are trying to push their own site which again is not necessarily bad - providing it provides good, useful and accurate information to the members.

                    "i use white paneling"

                    "i use white paneling"

                    what is this white panelling made out of? Is it masonite pressed board? Masonite doesn't really hold up well outside, even on the back of something. It bubbles up and self destructs.

                    you can get free cardboard plastic every two years during the election process. Just go around and grab free plastic on Nov 3.

                        Nice job on the panels, with all of the negative press about diy panels i am glad to see some are still working for over a year.
