You Tube the Idiots Bible. You are the same person who ask what happens if you input 80 amps into a 80 amp MPPT controller.

As the one who might have originated the analogy of utube brain pablum being the new idiot's bible, it seems kind of presumptuous to me to think someone who expresses an honest and informed opinion must be miserable because you may not agree with their expressed opinion(s).
Most of the utube crap I've seen looks more like selfie madness run amuck than helpful or informed information. Unvetted, and so, dangerous.

While I agree there is a lot of crap on YouTube, including one brilliant girl who's tabbing with a soldering GUN.......lol.......There are also very good videos on there, and I'm hoping my series will be one of them.
You can't just dismiss an entire website because when you have a lot of something, some if it will be top notch, even if most of it is crap.

Do you have any idea of the transmittance of the glass you're using ?
Is it low iron ?
Does it have an ARC (antireflection coating) ?
Is it the same glass front and back surface ?
Do you know what any of these terms mean or how they may affect a solar panel's performance ?
Do you know how to estimate a panel's operating temp. or instantaneous efficiency as f(inputs).
How did you determine your panels will outlast most commercial panels ?
Any idea of cost ?
As you agree, there's a lot of crap on utube.Comment

Wow, that sounds like an amazing resource! A complete DIY solar panel YouTube series is such a valuable contribution to the community. I'm sure it's going to help a lot of people embrace clean energy and reduce their carbon footprint.By the way, if you're looking to get the word out and reach an even wider audience, you might want to consider using a budget-friendly SMM panel. It can be a game-changer for sharing your videos and connecting with like-minded individuals who are passionate about sustainability.Last edited by MikaelaCooley; 10-05-2023, 08:12 AM.Comment
