Hands-on Review: Sunforce 50044
Recently I have decided to make my contribution to the development of the alternative energy sources in the future by ordering safe solar batteries. The first step is to try replacing classic electricity by the energy of sun batteries. I have ordered a couple of panels of Sunforce 50044 60-Watt Solar Charging Kit for my country house. After using them about already four months I must say that in general I am completely satisfied and would recommend them for all those who want to implement green technologies in their lives.
I like the idea that:
- you can place solar panels wherever you find the most lightened place in your garden
- they are completely safe for environment
- after installing them I don’t worry people walking near or kids playing around might get any harm like electrocution, because there is no any danger from them at all. In general I am glad to use the ecological safe energy
- the boards are good-looking and become good decoration element in the yard of my country-house
The process of installing was quiet easy. Simple and smart design allows doing it quickly and easy. At the beginning, as I have just received the blocks I was going to install them by myself as it seems to be quite easy according to instructions. However, I had certain difficulties, especially on the stage of wire connections and testing for the open voltage measurement. I have called a master to help me, and after we have installed everything correctly the panels started working properly.
Observing the functioning of the panels I must mention certain difficulty I have faced with. Though the system supposed to be autonomous in work, the weather conditions still have certain impact on the functioning of solar panels. The boards can easily switch off in the conditions of low lightening, for example when the weather becomes extremely cloudy. Thus, from time to time I have to restart them. I mean that system of automatic switches off is very sensible. At the same time solar panels are really waterproof and resistible in the conditions of wet weather. I have never noticed any problems during raining, and can confirm that they have a good level of water-resistance. Thanks to this feature now I start thinking to install same solar panels system on my boat. I would also recommend them for those who are looking for kits supposed to be installed in the area of swimming pool. I also didn’t notice the influence of temperatures changes on the functioning of the system, though in my area there are no too sharp increases and decreases.
Also, I have noticed that the energy output level is slowly decreasing. But this thing can be solved by
- proper treatment
- timely cleaning the panels
Handling them correctly will guarantee long-term functioning with constant level of about 50-watt clean and renewable energy. Though the ideal level of output is stated to be about 60 watt, it seems to be not realistic. In the most sunless weather conditions it is as low as 20 watt, but in general middle level usually is sufficient and it is about 45-50 watt.
Life changing decisions
Thanks to the simplicity of this solar system you might learn more about using the energy of the sun by installing this kit. Later on you might make decision whether you want to continue dealing with it or not, and may be find some more efficient solar panels. In any sense I would call it an interesting experiment with possibly far-going prospects in the future. We’ll see. For now, for me this seems to be enough and I’m going to continue observing the specifics of their functioning. And the main thing in all this, that I feel happy and proud by protecting environment.
In conclusion, I want to pay your attention to such aspect as costs. Though it might seem that start costs are higher than setting conventional electricity, but remember that use of sun energy is renewable and you only have to ensure proper functioning of the panels, so that you pay just once and in long run you don’t have to pay any more at all.
