- In this video I will show you have to power LED lights by using solar panels as the power source. Here's all the components used in the video:
LED lights: www.ebay.com/it...
Solar panels: www.ebay.com/it...
Switch: www.ebay.com/it...
Wires: www.ebay.com/it...
Foam: www.ebay.com/it...
This is a a very inexpensive project that gives beautiful results. Begin with combining the solar panels in a way to receive a 12V source with a 300mA minimum. Attach the solar panels to a sheet of foam and solder cables equal to the length of the distance between your solar panels and your LED lights. Position the solar panels on the highest point around you (obviously outside). Solder your solar panel cable to the switch and then your LED lights.
Even though your LED lights will be powered during the day I highly recommend buying a total of 8 solar panels. This will ensure you always have 12 volts going to your LED lights. In case you only purchase 4 solar panels it's crucial to find the location with the longest sunshine hours.

This is the 1st of YOUR videos that I ran into. I've been playing with "electronics" for 40+ years and buddy, you managed to show me some new tricks. Truly amazing. I too am looking for a "cheap way" to charge up 12volt batteries with solar panels. My use will be to power a 12 volt 6000k led strip with an automatic dawn to dusk on/off or with a motion sensor that I can adjust the time-on. If you could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it.
I'm still looking for videos, schematics, parts, etc...
i startedplaying with eletronics yesterday, today i took my broken solar motion light sensor, i thought the solar panels were broken, there was a 12 volt battery inside of it and was dead, i then ripped the solar panel offand connect pos and neg to an led light that was from the solar light i put it into the sun and it worked, so the solar panels werent broken and worked i tried a very small motor, didnt work, a 12 volt fan, didnt work , only the led works im wondering if i can still charge the 12 volt battery because its deador flat, has some energy in it
Good to watch the video. Very well demonstrated. But what happens at night when there is no sunlight to charge the solar cells. During the day time we may not require lights anyway. Can we have a mechanism to store the energy during the day and use it after dark?
That's a beautiful system. Have you thought about adding a small battery in the setup ?
a solar panel without a battery connected to anything still works just the energy is wasted
Your the man, thanks so much for everything. I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you did in this video. Your amazing!!!!
Is it possible to add a battery storage to save all that electricity for night time? Seems like a smart idea to maybe add a motion sensor too.
Had the same thought

Nice job, I think I'll try this in my backyard. Thanks for posting.
Very awesome dude that could you get free power and no generator solar is the best thing to power anything you want very smart idea 💡 keep it up 😎
very smart in daylight !! what about night ?
nice video. i will be buying some solar panel off ebay to try this out
Do the lights get brighter and dimmer as the sun gets stronger or weaker?
Nice job man really like your projects
Awesome, thanks man!
he always has good footage and nice directing.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Great project! (Just now I saw it!)
SUbed!
Do a update! ad more solar and leds, throw in a little bank of 18650s that would be neat
Obrigado seu video foi muito útil e satisfatório.
make a update video where you add a battery to save your excess energy.
On its way. Thanks for watching!
Where is the video RCLifeOn? I can't find it
Wish you'd explain your soldered connections
Can we use this method to power High Power LED? Does the inconsistency of power generated by sun affect LED life?
do you use batteries or only solar
+Freedom Channel Only solar. Thanks for watching!
wow nice house...
Lights in the daytime? Damn..
Nice
Could you do this to an individual LED, but with a really small solar panel
Would the panels work harvesting light energy from interior lights? Looking to build a lighting setup that is powered from existing lighting in a room.
Yes it does work, but you would need a crazy amount of panels to achieve a usable current/voltage.
No battery? How are you going to run them at night?
How to add a battery in the circuit?
Any battery for the night?
nice solar projkt
nice good job.
Nice Job but why that kind of cable?
+Tom Vrouvakis It was the only cable long enough I had at home. Cheers, have a nice day!
Ok keep up the good work, we enjoy learning from you and your constructions.
+Tom Vrouvakis Happy to hear! Have a nice day.
would it work using regular speaker wire?
@@kingsnare7717 yes it would
you can add batry to save power in night 😄☺
those shoe's though. LOL. WHAT ARE THOSE!!??
very nice
+gourav anand Thanks for watching!
wow great
Hello
I found your video very useful. I want to give you information for my area. Will you let me? thank you
muy bueno!!!
Gracias :)
If we are having 3w 8.97 v panel how to connect to it
Simon can you make a solar charger
did you use coaxi cable, instead of relugar cable
It certainly looked like it
I made it with Avasva handbooks !
The connection of the red and black wires to the cable is very poorly explained. Otherwise it is good
how do u use the lights at night when u actually need them?
Steve just Steve with a battery
You should use more led light
bro i was waiting for the making of hovercraft...
Sorry mate, but thanks for the idea. I'll see what I can do :)
300mA is barely enough. Takes 1A to power 4 strips.
You would be better off to create a charging circuit and buy a decent lead acid battery or LIPO.
What happened to the sound ???
I bought instruction from woodprix and I build it very very cheap.
You can learn from inplix scripts how to make it yourself.
Lights for daylight use only......
Better u get A 12V 10watt panel.
I know more about diy from Avasva handbooks!
Links are fallen
I did it with the help of Avasva solutions.
Discover how to do it with Avasva.
The scotch tape was cringy
Waste of solar panels and coax. cable.
you idea have one big problem. how night and ewening can use if not have battery. stupid. need charger module 12V and battery make holder 12V set, and then out to many light. and true life all led strip tape have totally shit no keep strip on wall or roof, drop fast.
You can find best solutions on Avasva website.
Nice
