deep sequence battery are very expensive, useless you cannot use the solar cell without this high fee deep sequence battery.

fumfulapenguin August 30, 2010 at 4:44 pm

how much this cost?

ShawnHydedotcom August 30, 2010 at 5:13 pm

what happens when the sticky wears out and they glide away?, to terrible these solar panels are made mostly with oil based products. better solar is mirror/steam based systems. but I reckon wind and wave power is really the future.

fantastic untill — youre on the roof with a snowblower clearing 4eet of snow

Can this system can be used with a air compressor?

Harimurtiable August 30, 2010 at 7:15 pm

installation was quick .. but also requires preparation time .. This includes updates that are clearly more energy efficient. in the state of Indonesia, solar panel electric system has not been widely used, we get the electricity that was still in subsidies by the government.

Hmmm. nice thought, but… you try peel & stick in Phx, and the sun will austerely laugh at you. Also, those panels were installed on a flat roof. Unless that building is at the equator, it would not be very efficient. Need to consider the angle… which is why other PV systems are rigid….. and, what’s with the hard hats?

peel and stick is terrible
because if yo uwant to take it off to go to another home or ap it will rip it or cant get it up…. just use modualr plus water i mean its sealed but over time if your roof floods it will get in eventually… not worth it..

I bet it took 2 weeks to prep that roof.

Wretched to tell you but if they are so economically fantastic then they would not need tax incentives they would sell themselves on the market making the company that produces them rich, but whats the problem hmm well when solar or wind aren’t producing power you are spending money on things like natural gas or coal and we do need better storage for this to not to happen

davidrrrd August 30, 2010 at 10:17 pm

now make them smaller so they assemble like standard home roofing shingles!
that’s what i need!

Maccan August 30, 2010 at 10:43 pm

The sooner that technology hits the market, the better

AbbeeNges3 August 30, 2010 at 10:57 pm

hui am equipped for some action any guys want to take the challenge?

mikeymike77123 August 30, 2010 at 11:28 pm

and to reckon… I got 13 watt set alight bulbs ran all threw out my house that give off plenty of set alight. So in the near future 10 cents a WATT is $1.30 and i can run that 1 of many set alight bulbs for a while, and of coarse all other electronics will be ran for a fantastic fee.

mikeymike77123 August 30, 2010 at 11:37 pm

New solar panel technologies from plastic and fabric? Yep! Not sure what kind of solar panels “these” are n the vid but if you look up the video title “Your World: Bringing it Home – Konarka Technologies” you will see a new solar panel technology that may possibly be equipped to hit the shelves very soon if it isn’t already(I’m looking into it). I reckon they say ATM its about half the fee of regular solar panels, simpler to make, and soon will be 10 cents per WATT in terms of cost when you buy it!

mikeymike77123 August 31, 2010 at 12:18 am

Excellent eye…(it got me looking more closely at the video)… but really I reckon he did broom it because the clip skips ahead about 24 seconds @ about 6:30 on there timer in the video and if you look closely the broom handle is in a different position after the clip comes back on at around 6:54 ;-) also looks like he place the peel off plastic into a container in the same spot beside the broom if u watch the vid a bit longer u will see what I mean by that lol

TuberCharged August 31, 2010 at 12:46 am

Dude!!!!! You forgot to broom the third module! Will it glide away??? Glide birdie, glide!!!

claudius2u August 31, 2010 at 1:33 am

The best, most efficient, and by far most beneficial solar collector is any form of photosynthisizing plant; bar nothing.

Using solar enegy to produce electrical power is silly, extremely inefficient, and wastefull of so many dirty-technologies it should be banned for its massive ill-effects on human, animal and biosphere health!

But, huge biz is excellent gov’t biz, so we have stupid zombies hyping up solar electricity like it was candy! Get real, people! Grow food, NOT power!

10,000 watts is the same in all voltages and will be plenty to run a house and store energy for a car. 6 hours x 10,000 watts equals 60,000 watts. And I reckon a 20,000 watt system would make much more than that a day. Just add a overhang and add another 1000 sq ft feet for 10,000 more watts. and one could generate more than 100,000 watts a day easily. A well insulated house with a r factor 50 ceiling and 40 walls would not need much heat or cooling.

zmanthao August 31, 2010 at 2:23 am

The problem is when you convert it to 110 AC and 240 AC, it won’t be enough to run your AC unit. Maybe you might get enough to run your lighting if you convert them to LED. I read that mud/clay houses are natural air conditioner, not sure how to build one that would look like a modern house.

ssssaaafff August 31, 2010 at 3:07 am

Lets see, a small 40ft by 50 ft house with just a flat roof is 2000 sq ft. The most commonly used solar panels have efficiencies ranging from 11%-14% and produce about 10-13 watts per square foot. So to me just using a 10 watt efficiency would be 20,000 watts a hour, which would be less when the sun is off angle, but still producing more than 10,000 per hour on the average.

zmanthao August 31, 2010 at 3:40 am

You will need a lot more than a roof size to get 5000 to 10000 watts of AC power out

Is that really better than a plywood board?

clnmyjts August 31, 2010 at 4:38 am

thats what I`m discussion about..LOL
It the fee is right we are excellent to go..
I like the thought of peel and stick solar panels..
What i worry about most is the fee..

davea0511 August 31, 2010 at 5:26 am

Fascinating thought, but they need to take up some issues when they present this mounting technology if they want market acceptance…

Some kind of weird roof prep first – it’s shiny. Also … panels need air underneath to stay cool for optimal efficiency … 1/2% per degree. Also, electrical connectors nearly flush with the ground … reliability tribulations? non-angled … pooling water … water deposit tribulations? Adhesive lifetime testing data?
