Detailed project instructions below:
We are going to modify a cheap cell phone to charge off of solar power. Here are the items you will need.
1. Cheap Throwaway Mobile phone
2. Basic small solar panel (available at electronics stores)
3. Standard blocking diode (also get at the electronics store)
Attach the solar panel to the back of the phone with hot glue or epoxy. You can then burn a couple holes in the case with a soldering iron to run the wires through.
Next, burn some grooves into the plastic phone molding so that we can store the wires without them stopping the phone from closing.
Now the fun part!
Solder the positive output of the solar panel to the diode, make sure you wire it to the back end of the diode, you can tell which side is which by looking at the diode itself. Diode’s have a single white line on the end which designates the front, so just wire the solar panel to the side without the white line!
Next, wire the other side of the diode to the phone’s positive battery prong (this should be marked on the phone itself). When that is done take the negative end of the solar panel and wire it to the negative battery prong on the phone.
Now pop in the battery and close up the phone! Your cheap emergency phone is now ready for action!

DIY – Home Solar Hybrid – Standalone – Grid Tie – Done!!
Well, I think I’ve finally finished my home solar project. After doing a lot of reading, I believe I have an otherwise decent and safe system. I tried to design it around the NEC’s Article 690 as much as “practical”. I’ve added additional components, and changed a few things around. It’s been an enjoyable and worthwhile learning experience. I read “free” books on design, operation & maintenance, and safety, along with referencing the National Electrical Code in relation to PV systems. After playing with my new Grid Tie inverter, I’m convinced that it’s a good addition to any system that produces 500+ Watts of power. My system is not the best and my way is not the only way to implement a home system, but I hope my ideas helps someone along the way. For those that wish to truly learn about Stand-Alone PV system design etc, the following are excellent free books I downloaded and used:
1.) Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Systems – (by Sandia National Labs)
2.) Maintenance And Operation of Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Systems (Sandia)
3.) Working Safely with Photovoltaic Systems (Sandia National Labs)
4.) Photovoltaic Power Systems And the 2005 NEC: Suggested Practices
Simply google the titles and download the pdf’s, and your good to go. Good Fortune, and have fun.

PREPARING YOUR HOUSE TO RUN ON SOLAR POWER
If you want to run your house on solar or wind power you have to start with getting your home as energy efficient as possible. I am running a hybrid system that incorperates solar,wind and a grid interactive battery backup system. The diesel generator ties it all together in the event of a long term power outage.
