LG monocrystalline 400W/45V solar panel module powers 120V AC universal motor power tools, small appliances, and resistive loads using an inexpensive DC-DC step up boost converter, instead of a pricey inverter or multiple panels(array). A fun experiment. Enjoy the video!

Are you feeding those AC tools with DC without problems?? Or am I missing something?
great deal! Question I have single 12v 115AH deep cycle i need to pull 12v @ ~16a from during the hottest/sunniest days in Florida. Would a single panel like this be overkill? What kind of controller would you recommend?
Well done, great job.
But for how LONG can this things be powered on in full power? Does the energy drain from the solar panel as u use this things? Do u need to wait for the solar panel to get full of energy or it sends energy out as it gets it in? Can it be used at night?
I have 12 panels of this kind what can I do and what kind of parts I need
…….so at 400watts that panel must be 20% efficiency. The efficiency is amazing these days .
Can it run a fridge?
Most the items you tested are actually ac voltages.
You can also run your room on solar here is my tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf_uIXgefzU
Thanks for this very useful info . Can this PV take the load direct from pure sine wave inverter with out MPPT charge controller and battery. ( PV to inverter and a small A/C 120 VAC /5 amps .I ran one with a battery but not sure about the nrush current at start

Can you put two of the boosters in series to get 240V DC? Can you combine them in parallel to get higher current/load? Of course assuming you run it from a 12/24V battery, I know you can do that with solarpanels or more batteries even without the inverter.
,27 what about black dots anomalies i see in between cross of the white lines on the panel..do you see them
Hey there! Wonderful video! Curious, what is the No Load current draw on that converter there? The DC to DC one. Something like that to power just lights would be really nice! Instead of trying to find 12v variants, or using a standard AC inverter that takes 200mA to 700mA just to have running!
You are cool!
I think these motors have brushes, try a fan that has and induction motor and see if it works.
I think 2 panels that would give you 80VDC would work find with out needing the converter or an inverter.
Hey Marine where did you find that LG 400W panel?
You forgot to add that it can only be used on universal motors…you cannot use a straight AC tool..solar panels produce DC, if a tool only uses AC it wont work, you will still need the conversion, no matter how many volts you step it up..
Wow !
Nice !
Are you planning to sell your system soon ?
Great video! Very informative.
Here is another great post about solar power http://bit.ly/3dbgwYE
Great content. Would this be possible with a mini fridge or window A/C unit?
You didn’t test the most important thing when off grid “Netflix” and chill
Really?… I think it is fake. The DC volts indicated by the right multimeter always shows the Voc of the panel. Mmmmmmmm!! When there is a load connected to the panels, the voltage must be down.
Thanks MS Electronic I'm living on SEATTLE WA $400 Bill for electric
I like your video
Motors will be inductive loads which means they have reactance impedance on AC, when calculating RMS they will draw less current than the DC equivalent voltage.
Can i use this to charge my cordlesstool batteries?
I didn't know it was possible to run ac tools using dc power.
Why did the picture say "No inverter!"?
Great vid, thanks.
