Solar panel window frame

Solar panel window frame

Description

I Built A Frame For A Solar Panel (The One In The Pictures Is 30W) For Dual-Use At Home. I Bought It To Carry It Around While Camping (To Charge My Phone And Generally Have Some Energy For Leds Etc). Since I Will Spend More Time At Home Than On The Road (Sadly), I Built This Frame To Mount It In A Window (Directing South). This Way, I Can Use It To Power My Server And Help Me Pay My Bills :). Maybe It Helps Other To Build Something Like This. I Can Unmount It Within 10 Seconds, But The Window Also Opens With Everything Connected (Only A Bit, But Usually That'S Enough). Used Some 3D-Printed Connections, And M8 Threaded Rods Since They Are Sturdy Enough. Using Some M3 Screws And An Aluminium L Profile, I Made A Mount For The Lower Part Of The Window (There Was A Gap On The Lower Part Of The Window). Keep In Mind That The Setup Is Not Very Efficient. It Only Makes Sense Because It'S For Dual Use And I Already Have The Panel. My Window Takes Around 50% Of The Efficiency Away (!)
