In this 2013 wintertime video my custom hybrid solar electric bike operates on just 3 volts or sub 15 watts of solar power, if more amps were available more torque would enable a higher speed e-bike. That is what Im trying to show in this solar bike video, most solar panels are designed for a higher voltage rather than a low voltage with high amperage. Brand new e-biking video uploaded February 14 – www.youtube.com riding rocks, sand, ice, and snow! The lightweight hand made solar panel I built is rated for approximately 24 watts in optimal conditions. Monocrystalline silicon solar cells are used but they offer just 16-17% in efficiency and are extremely brittle, newer flexible PV cell technology is close to 11% more efficient. Two years ago in mid July, I initially performed a 3 volt solar powered e-bike ride and was successful, I never got to video document that special solar bike test and have diligently been fighting set backs since then to make this video happen. Out from my tool chest I have now shown a reflector that has extremely high diffuse reflectance and greater than 97% reflectance across the visible spectrum. Later in 2013 or 2014 photovoltaics and batteries are going to improve by orders of magnitude. I believe we are on the cusp of a new age of hybrid solar powered transportation. E-Bike riding on ice and snow I keep my tires at minimal air pressure of around 30psi or less which helps with traction, however during this video recording I did forget to …

Renewable Energy, how to build solar panels
The sun shines brightly on this month’s episode of Every Third Thursday. Dave Lee and Signal Snowboards team up with Powerfilm Solar to create a solar-powered snowboard! At the Signal Snowboard factory the flexible solar panels are adhered to the snowboard top sheet and then wired into a converter mounted between the bindings. With the build complete, it’s time to test out the voltage off the grid. Snowboarder Tyler Flanagan straps in and charges the Mammoth Mountain jumps while charging his electronics at the same time—this electrifying new board passes the test. It’s a blast! www.signalsnowboards.com Watch the full series bit.ly Subscribe to Network A! ???www.youtube.com ??
