    That's a good deal cheers. 120W isn't to bad power too

  • Levelgrinder on 13/03/2020 - 16:16

    Bargain.

    For those that are unaware, this isn’t a thing. You can’t jumpstart a flat battery with a solar panel. You can slowly recharge the battery.

      Yeah, that's such a blatant lie it is almost neg-worthy.

      You can slowly recharge the battery.

      And you don't have to worry about overcharging, because the Premium Anderson connector prevents overcharging!

          I though you said this because they're the first solar cells made out of silicone but now I see

      Im pretty sure you can jump start your car from a solar panel… Provided it is putting out around 400amps lol

    What's the best way to use these if I wanted to run 240v equipment from it?
    I have a 32" LCD monitor and a work laptop I'd like to run from it. Should I get some sort of DC to DC transformer or use an inverter?

    • damion on 13/03/2020 - 16:42

      You'll really need a 12V battery. No DC-DC converter or inverter is going to be able to reliably run directly from the solar.
      Never seen a big monitor that runs off DC input, so if you need an AC inverter for that, you may as well use the same inverter for your laptop.

        My Samsung monitor has an external 14V
        2.5a brick. Not sure what the standard power consumption is but I doubt the full 35W. A 120w panel should be fine to run it most of the day I presume and during the peak daylight the laptop can use the excess power generated to charge.

        • damion on 13/03/2020 - 16:51

          Hrrm. You might be able to run your monitor directly from the regulator on the panel… (and put up with it turning off when a cloud comes across the sun)
          But what voltage does your laptop need?

  • willyroo on 13/03/2020 - 16:37

    Postage $24.99 to sunny Brisbane…

      If you sign up to Kogan First membership for $11.99 per 30 days (or free-trial), you can get free delivery. So that reduces it to $13 (or free). Edit: No wait, drat, it's not a supported product.

    $21 delivery. Seems excessive.

      Go to Australia Post and try and post it to your neighbor. I would be surprised if you can get it posted for $21.

        Not to mention you'll need to buy another Solar Panel because your neighbour now has yours.

      its close to 10 kg and quite big.

      Aldi sold a very similar 160W setup for $199. even with postage this is CHEAP!

  • wizedz on 13/03/2020 - 19:22

    A solar power generator seems like the natural next step in the virus panic buy after the freezers

  • linnaen on 13/03/2020 - 21:12

    Would this, combined with a 12v battery produce enough juice to power a solar pump?
    Wondering if it would be any good for aquaponics.

    • Deelirium on 13/03/2020 - 22:49

      Short Answer, Yes.

      Long Answer, What Head, Flow and Pressure? Highly depends on what size pump your trying to drive and what your attemption to achive.

      But as an example i have a 180 watt solar panel with a super capacitor driving a submersiable pump which keeps troughs filled up across a 50 acre property with 50m head to the highest one.

      If you say get 6 hrs a day at 120 watts (a rough solar average) that gives you 720whr in a day.
      Devide by 24 and you have 30 watts at a full days operation, assume 60% pump effiency by time you have electrical and mechanical losses gives you 18 watts of continous energy.

      Using energy = massheightgravity we can get
      mass = energy/(heightgravity)
      So at say 2m pumping head, we would get 18/(2      9.91)=.9kg
      With 1kg of water being close to 1 litre we are getting about .9litres per second, Or 77.7kL per hour.

      • Qroozn on 13/03/2020 - 22:53

        Isn’t .9L/s closer to 3.24kL/hr?

        • Deelirium on 14/03/2020 - 00:12

          100% correct, for some reason i calculated the amount for 12 hours instead.
