12.5V

2017-02-04 14:29:54 UTC  

Well

2017-02-04 14:32:33 UTC  

how viable are chinese solar cells?

2017-02-04 14:32:41 UTC  

Guess that wasn't the problem them ffs

2017-02-04 14:33:41 UTC  

@myuutsu last time i checked they were world leader on the manufacturing and marketing them ?

2017-02-04 14:33:55 UTC  

tho that was 1-2 years back or even more

2017-02-04 14:35:16 UTC  

@Tervy I wouldn't mind to fabricate my own solar panel

2017-02-04 14:35:29 UTC  

Series of solar panels together

2017-02-04 14:35:33 UTC  

far as i know the process is quite toxic ***

2017-02-04 14:35:37 UTC  

no no no

2017-02-04 14:35:52 UTC  

Combine many together

2017-02-04 14:35:57 UTC  

ahh

2017-02-04 14:36:04 UTC  

Try to go for 2A+

2017-02-04 14:36:37 UTC  

for china stuff.. err i think the company name was Suntech/solartech or something

2017-02-04 14:36:47 UTC  

For bonus make sure the psu is also outputting 12V and if not calibrate it

2017-02-04 14:36:53 UTC  

then there was some taiwanese company named neo solar power

2017-02-04 14:37:24 UTC  

But yeah time to open a case to get a replacement extruder head

2017-02-04 14:40:25 UTC  

@shadowedROM ye I opened a ticket at Gb

2017-02-04 14:40:31 UTC  

So it needs to be in parallel

2017-02-04 14:40:39 UTC  

For 5V, whatever A

2017-02-04 14:40:54 UTC  

I'd like to be able to charge some power banks in emergency

2017-02-04 14:44:42 UTC  

like this, but not so much

2017-02-04 14:46:45 UTC  

cheaper probly to get somekind of basic kit

2017-02-04 14:46:49 UTC  

15-30w

2017-02-04 14:47:14 UTC  

and get charge controller for it to input that current

2017-02-04 14:47:23 UTC  

Also, when they say something like 0.86A output

2017-02-04 14:47:29 UTC  

but 17% efficiency

2017-02-04 14:47:38 UTC  

That's 0.86 * 0.17?

2017-02-04 14:47:39 UTC  

hell even 6W panel (those foldable ones) might do

2017-02-04 14:51:03 UTC  
2017-02-04 14:51:27 UTC  

and downgrade the voltage from those with proper circuit

2017-02-04 14:51:29 UTC  

and you are done

2017-02-04 14:52:28 UTC  

i have been planning similar chinkmechanic to balcony for next summer

2017-02-04 14:54:32 UTC  

what are you gonna do with a solar panel

2017-02-04 14:55:32 UTC  

Just tune up charging station for useless shit.as hobby project

2017-02-04 14:56:06 UTC  

Probly phonecharger+batteries+maybe led lamp and rasbi if i can be arsed

2017-02-04 14:56:26 UTC  

What do I need for a USB port, what's the spec?

2017-02-04 14:56:35 UTC  

It's like 5V 3.6W?

2017-02-04 15:00:19 UTC  

This one already has the circuitry built in
