Powerenz® Portable Solar Power System | Complete System | Green Camouflage

Powerenz® Are you bored scrolling through endless websites, looking at one after another “cookie cutter” portable battery boxes and solar panels? They look identical and do the same things. The Powerenz® is unique, focuses on quality, simplicity, and high energy density. No bells and whistles, just solid performance, first time, every time. You will want to bring this product with you everywhere you go. As long as the sun shines, you will have power. This Portable Solar Power System strikes a balance between energy production, storage and minimal weight. The battery can power electronics that require 12-volts DC up to 12 amps/144 watts via a built-in cigarette lighter socket, and can recharge itself in sunlight via the solar panel. Powerenz® includes: Battery: 11.1-volt, 24.6 amp-hour, 265 watt-hour lithium polymer unit that weighs 4.54 pounds, measures 10 1/8 x 6 x 1 3/8 inches, has a push-button fuel gauge, and comes in tri-color desert or woodland camouflage. It can be charged from the solar panel via 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC-IN jack or from the AC-powered battery charger. Solar panel: CE, FCC, and Std Mil 810F-certified (MIL-SPEC), foldable 75-watt/5-amp unit in tri-color desert or woodland camouflage that weighs 1.875 pounds. The dimensions of the solar panel are 61 x 24 x 0.04 inches unfolded, and 12.5 x 10 x 0.9 inches folded. Open circuit voltage (Voc) = 22 volts DC; Voltage at max power (V@Pmax) = 17.6 volts DC; Current at max power (I@Pmax) = 5.1 amps; Short circuit current (Isc) = 5.9 amps. The solar panel will require 5-6 hours of peak sunlight to recharge the battery if it is depleted. Cable: links the battery to the solar panel, is custom handmade, weighs 0.06-0.12 pounds, and measures 14 ¾ – 24 ¾ inches. For length greater than 24 ¾ inches, please message us. AC battery charger: universal input 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz; weighs 0.64 pounds; recharges battery from empty to full in 5.5 hours Weight of complete system: 7.24 pounds with the AC charger, and 6.6 pounds without the AC charger. Comes with a digital Safety Instruction Sheet – will email to you If AC power is required for your electronics, we can add a small, lightweight, 120-watt, pure sine wave inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket. Please message us.

Nanosolar 2.6W Flexible CIGS Solar Cell – Lot of 10 NanoCells for a Total of 26W

Nanosolar 2.6W Flexible CIGS Solar Cell – Lot of 10 NanoCells for a Total of 26WIntroducing the Nanosolar Nanocell 2.6W Lightweight Flexible CIGS Solar Cell Set! Harness the power of the sun with this lot of 10 high-quality solar cells. Each cell produces an impressive 2.6 watts of clean energy. Made with advanced CIGS technology, these lightweight and flexible cells are a perfect solution for various applications. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to bring sustainable energy to your projects. Invest in the future with Nanosolar Nanocell! This is for a lot of 10 solar cells that total 26 watts. Each individual solar cell has a maximum electrical output (mppt) of 0.45 volts at 5.8 amps which calculates to 2.6 watts each. These CIGS solar cells took over 70 steps to produce on multiple machines with hundreds of workers in a 200,000 sf factory in San Jose California. They are made on thin flexible aluminum sheets which make them difficult to weld or solder even with Alumiflux solder flux paste. We have had success using double sided conductive tape to connect. You can see the video of the output 10 cells connected with the tape have produced in partial sun conditions. We find these cells even produce energy when placed under a light bulb.

These raw flexible solar cells are extremely rare and have never been offered for sale to the public before. These came from the last experimental production runs at the Nanosolar Facility in California. The facility and company was liquidated during September and October of 2013. We can ship these in bin racks of 1,000 cells and cartons of 6,000 cells if you would like larger quantities. These raw solar cells are very robust for CIGS, however, will degrade if not encapsulated in weather tight enclosure. Its interesting for experiment we have left a few exposed and un-encapsulated for 2 years and have found minimal degradation. The CIGS solar cells are made of aluminum and to connect them we have used double sided conductive acrylic adhesive tape made by 3M / Tape Case (1182). Nanosolar used ultrasonic metal spot welders to connect the cells in production We have found a spot welder does connect them but if the settings are not just right you will blow a hole through them or the connection is weak. We believe a combination of the 3M 1182 tape and spot weld may be the best choice for DIY applications. We have had many questions regarding cutting these cells. When these cells are cut they retain their .45 volts but the amps are reduced somewhat proportionally. You cannot use regular scissors or tin snips as these are made of 2 thin sheets of aluminum separated by energy producing compounds. If the top (negative) and bottom (positive) aluminum sheets touch it shorts the cell. We have successfully cut these cells with a water-jet cutter as well as a sharp bench shear set at 45 degree angle. It is possible to cut and then sand the cut edges back until the two sheets are separated but that is a tedious task and not recommended. Also we have noticed the cut cells are not as robust as the uncut cells even when accounting for the size differences of the cells. The positive output of the cell is indicated by the large area of metal (nickel coated aluminum) on the backside. On the front side, there is a thin strip of un-coated aluminum indicating the negative output of the cell. If you have any questions about these cells, feel free to ask. These cells are sourced from the manufacturing floor of Nanosolar in San Jose and are securely stored in air-tight bags with desiccant. Each cell has undergone proper output testing by Nanosolar and has been found to be highly durable. You can preview these solar cells at our facility in Ventura, California.     Condition: New These Aluminum Solar Cells are New and Unused. They are stored in air tight sealed cartons with desiccant to prolong shelf life. They are in excellent new condition.
