hello all.
ive been reading peoples comments on solar power and thought i would join to ask a few myself.
im not a professional in this stuff in anyway. im just starting out and looking learn more about solar power.
i want to purchase some solar panels and batteries to play with and learn however i thought i would start off with a little solar project first.
i want to make a solar power walkway somewhat like its done here
https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Solar-Powered-Walkway/
the only thing is i dont want to have wires running all over the place so i want to ask everyones input about encasing the solar cell under a glass block, protect it from the elements and still be able to catch the sunlight to charge up the batteries to power the lights at night.
I will be modifying those solar walkway lights that they sell at the dept stores that you stake in the ground
each block would have its own light, battery and cell.
thoughts?
thanks
