Emergency Solar Phone

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!

Solar Powered Workshop Part 1

My solar power setup uses two marine batteries and one 130 watt solar panel. This will provide all the power for my workshop, or I hope so anyway. The rest of my set up is capable of expansion, so if what I have so far doesn’t provide enough power I can add batteries and/or another panel.

How to Install Harbor Freight Solar Panels Part 1

This video shows how I used the 45 watt solar panel kits from Harbor Freight and also their single 15 watt solar panels to create a array of 28 panel delivering 420 watts. During the summer and fall in Texas I can count on a solid 8-9 hours of good sunlight so solar power makes sense to augment my wind turbines. Solar panels are easier to install and require less upfront work than wind turbines. In this video I show you the hardware you need and how to assemble and wire the solar panels for quick production.
