Hey Guys,
Lately, I've been playing with solar.
I live a bit west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, and found a while back that there is a
domestic Solar Panel Manufacturer right in Milwaukee!
I borrowed one of their solar panels while I was at the
MREA Energy Fair about a month ago. The panel is rated for outputting to 48V battery systems. I had my motorcycle there (which is 48V) and I was able to charge the bike all weekend with the panel.
After visiting a friend of my parents', who had some older solar panels for sale, I first wanted to check the cost of buying a new one. So, I gave
Helios a call, and ended up ordering a 405 watt/48V B-stock panel for $364.
I rigged it up to a charge controller, and am now charging my Citicar!
