Thread: Solar Panels & Solar cells

Tweet

The wheels are tuning again but i haven't got a clue about this latest idea of mine. It basically involves using Solar panels to light up my Leds on my Tombstones. Does anyone know a lot about Solar panels? Are they expensive? Are they difficult to work with? What about Soalr Cells?

My idea is to basically have a small solar panel connected to a solar cell that is connected to LEDs that are lighting up my tombstnes.

This was just an idea that i think may be more expensive that i am considering so if any of you know if this is possible i would love to hear any info that you can offer me about either solar panels or soler cells.

Thanks a lot,

Nick

My first thought would be to by the solar landscape lights they sell at the box scores and take it apart, replace the LED's with something more directional and use that. They have a built in solar panel, rechargeable battery, timer that goes from dusk until the battery is dead, and are usually about $5 each. I would think it would work perfect! Good luck and let us know how it goes if you decide to attempt something like this.

at target with the christmas lights they sell multi color led solsr powered christmas light strings for about 20 bucks.

Great!

Thanks a lot!

Yeah I pick up the target ones in orange and purple for only a couple of bucks on clearance reg. $15 and they work great. I have them on my fish shack now lighting up every night in my garden.
