I've come across some thin (0.008 inches), flexible solar panels that
look like they'd be ideal for gliders. These are the PowerFilm 7.2V 100mA ($30) units, with and without adhesive on the back: http://store.sundancesolar.com/pow72v100maf1.html So, $120 would buy me 4 panels, which would give me 200 ma at 15+ volts, almost enough keep up with my panel (including the transponder) over a full day. By "full day", I'm including the time it's tied out, as it would be at a soaring camp or on a safari, and a five hour flight. Has anyone used these, or know anything about them? Are there any better units than these? I'm aware of the Strobl units from Germany, but they are about twice the cost per amp. -- !Replace DECIMAL.POINT in my e-mail address with just a . to reply directly Eric Greenwell Richland, WA (USA) |
