Hey everyone!
I just stumbled upon something super interesting when I was fiddling with my car this weekend and wanted to get your thoughts or input.
I was cleaning out the garage and reorganizing my tools when I came across an old solar panel kit that I bought years ago and never got around to using. It got me thinking: has anyone experimented with using solar panels to charge or power certain car parts while working in the garage? Like, could you rig up a solar panel to keep a car battery topped off or even run small tools while you’re wrenching away?
I’m pretty new to this idea and have no clue what kind of setup might work, or if it’s even feasible. I’m aware it wouldn’t work for heavy-duty power tools, but maybe for LED lights, battery chargers, or a radio? It seems like a pretty eco-friendly approach and maybe even a fun DIY challenge.
Would love to hear if anyone’s tried something similar or has ideas on how to get started. What kind of setup would you need? Is it worth the effort, or just a crazy idea?
Looking forward to hearing what you all think!
