About Amorphous Solar Power
Amorphous solar panels are created by spraying silicon on to glass in very thin layers, and are commonly known as thin film solar panels. This process allows them to be better at generating electricity in all lighting conditions, including cloudy or shady environments. Sunforce amorphous solar panels are weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use. They have a maximum operating temperature range of -40 to 176-degrees Fahrenheit, require virtually no maintenance, and are also effective on cloudy days. They can even withstand impacts from one-inch hailstones at 50 miles-per-hour.
Solar panels convert sunlight into an electric current, they do not store power. Sunforce Solar Charging Kits are primarily used to recharge 12-Volt batteries (not included), which store and provide usable power. The included 200-Watt power inverter allows you to use traditional 110-Volt appliances with this system. The included Sunforce 7-Amp Solar Charge Controller must be installed to prevent any connected batteries from overcharging. Once fully charged, it is normal for the charge controller LED to turn off and on as the battery voltage fluctuates from the discharge/recharge cycle.

 too expensive August 28, 2010

0 out of 3 found this review helpful
even $250 still too expensive, average sunshine/day 10 hours, than you can get 60w*10*365=219Kw per year, 10years you can get 2190Kw ,if some days rings, you can get the power from the Solar Battery, right now ,per KW power cost about $0.1~$0.15, means after 10years (evey day is sunshine), you still can't get the money back from the Solar Battery.

I bought the sunforce 60 watt solar panels for my travel trailer to keep the trailer batteries charged and so far I have only had to use two panels. I used all four when I was camping and the panels did a good job in keeping my batteries up during the day.
Slim down my electric bill :) July 2, 2010

We have them on our black shingle roof. Gets sun All day. We have run a line inside the house. Hooks up to marine battery, then inverter. We can charge our lap top once a day, run fan for at least 6 hours, Charge a cell phone and blue tooth a day. Also have a 15 watt light on for at least 4 hours a day. I love this. I fell great giving less to the power company. I'm totally electric and my bill has been getting higher for the past 2 years. I hope to be getting a tankless hot water heater power with solar. This kit is a great way to start collecting your own energy!
I would toss the screws that they send and get better screws. That's it.

I am using my panels for pumping water in a garden stream. After getting the angle right on the panels they charged my 12-volt, deep-cycle, marine battery quickly. The wiring and connections were easy and the regulator works fine. The inverter supplied with the kit is trash, never worked at all for me, and the support frame for the panels is pretty rickety. But, overall, not a bad deal for the money!
