Solar panel wear after 3 years + testing new canon sx150is video quality

Showing my solar panels (most of them UL solar polycrystalline cells) after 3 years of abuse from all 4 seasons. Here in Michigan we get subzero winters, 90-100 degree summers and everything else in between. These solar panels see a lot of abuse, but have held up just fine over the past 3 years.
P.S. This is the first video I'm uploading using my new Canon sx150is camera (for free hand and outdoors stuff). It records 720p videos at 30 fps. Let me know how the video and sound quality is.....I have also purchased a canon sx40hs for my indoor videos using studio lights and a tripod. Most of the previous videos were using a sony bloggie touch 1080p cam.....good for outdoors, but no manual adjustments for indoor lighting.

Nice setup & thanks for the update ^^

Thanks man, good luck on the panel!......I might dabble into building one some day soon.

Nice little setup, surprised they hold up so well up there. Audio and video are good btw!

Nice to see you on video again, I've missed ya. That sucks on that 30 watt one. I will make sure I avoid those!

I am too, I thought for sure that they would have broken when we got really bad storms. wind was so hard it knocked out power and dropped a tree limb on my old car. Panels were thrown around like rag dolls a few times but held up. I'm trying out this cam for my flashlight demo footage and outdoor stuff. Will be uploading more footage using some of my other cams for comparison, but glad this one did well!

Mainly just for backup emergency power.....Low wattage 12 volt mostly (lighting and fans). My battery bank is pretty small, so ac loads are limited to less than 100 watts. The custom panels if done right can last just as long as the manufactured ones....just need to be done better than my ebay one, LOL

I know, I have so many flashlight reviews just waiting to be done....some almost 2 years old, LOL. The 30 watt panel was horrible....waiting for winter to buy a replacement ul solar panel for cheap.

What do you use your panels for, I don't recall. Is it for brown/black out emergency power? Or as a fun DIY that powers your garage tools? Or something else? I finally have my own place so I might try some stuff now, though I don't know if I want to do the custom panel anymore :)
