				<content:encoded><![CDATA[On the vacation back home, I made these solar panels.<br /><a href="http://thupten.feedback/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_1129.jpg"><img src="http://thupten.feedback/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_1129-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="IMG_1129" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-350" /><span id="more-319"></span></a><!--more-->
Cost Breakdown
Poly Crystalline Cells &#8211; $150
Aluminium Frame for panel &#8211; $30
Tempered glass 2.5ft by 5ft &#8211; $130
Silicon Glue &#8211; $50
Charge Controller Morningstar TriStar TS45 &#8211; $200
Metal Frame to hold the panels &#8211; $120
Others (wires etc) &#8211; $40
Total $720 for 4 panels
$180 for each panel.

Its generating about 6amp on 36volt(18 volt on a panel). I could have doubled the watt by using 6amp on 18volt but when the sun is low, its hard get enough current, or it may be having some problem I don&#8217;t know. I will try to fix it when I go back in future. 

Right now, Its charging a 12volt-150amp battery.
