I went over to see Tim (Doax) today and brought the solar panel to refurbish.
In one day, we cleaned it up, soldered on new connections to replace the ones that were hacked off, and hooked it up with a pump and a barrel of water!
Here's what it looked like when we were done.
This was inside in an upstairs spare bedroom. That way we don't have to worry about the panel freezing, or climb around on a roof. The panel is basically mounted up against the inside of a window.
See all the photos we took of fixing this up at:
