As demand for solar panel installation has risen sharply, especially for installations larger than balcony power plants, the order books of solar companies are full. If you ask for a quote today, you may have to wait a while, if your request isn't simply postponed indefinitely. Another consequence of the solar boom is that some companies are charging very high prices for installations. Yet there is an obvious and radical solution to the problem of excessive prices: Do it yourself, as the English say. The price of materials is currently affordable, and it's the ideal time for those who do the work themselves. They couldn't save more. Add to this the satisfaction of doing something useful, both economically and ecologically, and the pleasure of building yourself. In this special issue, you'll find a wide selection of Elektor assemblies, from solar panel controllers to solar water heaters and solar panel orientation systems. The issue also contains practical information on solar panel installation and the technology behind them. Finally, there are a number of articles on the subject of balcony power plants, from how to install them to how to connect them to the Internet...

SPD3000X Series Linear Programmable DC Power Supply has a 4.3 inches TFT LCD display, Supports Programmability and Real Time Wave Display, bringing a new experience to users. It has three isolated outputs: two adjustable channels and one selectable channel from 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V. It also has output short and overload protect function, and can be used in production and development. Features 3 independent controlled and isolated output, 32V/3.2A×2, 2.5V/3.3V/5V/3.2A×1, total 220W. 5 digits Voltage, 4 digits Current Display, Minimum Resolution: 1mV/1mA. Supports panel timing output functions. 4.3 inch true color TFT LCD 480x272 pixel display. 3 kinds of output modes: independent, series, parallel. 100V/120V/220V/230V compatible design to meet the needs of different power grids. Intelligent temperature-controlled fan, effectively reducing noise. Clear graphical interface, with the waveform display function Internal 5 groups of system parameter save/recall, supports data storage space expansion. Provides PC software: Easypower, supports SCPI, LabVIEW driver. High-resolution and high-precision output The highest resolution of 1mV/1mA, provides excellent setting and read back accuracy. This ensures accurate output even with very with small changes in voltage or current. This is impossible for a low resolution power supply. Series/parallel/independent mode function Series and parallel function allows two channels combined into one output with more power output capability, extending the application range. Each of 3 channels power can be turned on or off independently and also can be turned all on or all off. Panel displays the timing output Through the panel operation, 5 groups of timing settings and output control can be displayed, which provides users a simple power programming function. Also a connection can be made with Siglent’s EasyPower PC software providing a full range of communication and control requirements. Save/Recall setting parameters SPD3000X series programmable power supply can save or recall 5 groups of setting parameter in internal storage, also supports external storage expansion. You can easily obtain the settings you needed.

In seinem leidenschaftlichen Plädoyer für die Nutzung von Sonnenenergie wendet sich der Autor an technisch nicht versierte Leser. Der Autor von Photovoltaik für Quereinsteiger hat drei klare Botschaften: Es ist ziemlich einfach, eine Photovoltaikanlage erfolgreich in Betrieb zu nehmen. Die notwendigen Kalkulationen dazu, ob sich eine Solaranlage lohnt, passen auf einen Bierdeckel. Elektrischer Strom kann mit Photovoltaik schon heute für 3,5 Eurocent pro Kilowattstunde erzeugt werden. Allerdings nur tagsüber und auch nicht überall auf der Welt (aber an sehr vielen Orten). Das Buch erklärt, wie man zu marktüblichen Preisen Anlagen bauen kann, die zu unschlagbaren Niedrigstpreisen Strom liefern können. Es wird erläutert, wie man Anlagen abhängig vom Standort kalkulieren muss. Dabei beleuchtet der Autor in leicht verständlichen Worten die physikalischen Grundlagen der Gewinnung von Energie durch Photovoltaik und erklärt, wie eine Solarzelle prinzipiell arbeitet. Die grundsätzlichen Bestandteile einer Photovoltaikanlage werden so erklärt, dass sie auch von Laien verstanden werden. Ausführlich geht der Autor auf die richtige Wahl von Batterien zur Speicherung des gewonnenen Stromes ein. Potentielle Fehler- und Gefahrenquellen beim Auf- und Ausbau finden ebenso Berücksichtigung. Das Buch richtet sich dabei an Privatpersonen und an Projektbetreiber, die Strom für den Eigenverbrauch erzeugen möchten.

Whatever the methods or even then financial means you have to make your circuits work, the power supply should rank high if not Number One in your considerations. The design block simply called “power supply” is hugely underrated both in electronics creation and repair. Yet, the “PSU” has enormous diversity and comes in wildly differing guises like AC/DC, generator, battery (rechargeable or not), PV panel, benchtop, linear or switch-mode, to mention but a few. The output ranges are also staggering like nano-amps to kiloamps and the same for voltages.This special covers the features and design aspects of power supplies.ContentsBasics Battery ManagementWhat to be aware of when using (Lithium) batteries.

A Handbook on DIY Nowadays, security problems are rarely properly solved or correctly addressed. Electronic security is only part of the chain in making a system secure. Electronic security is usually addressed as network or software security, neglecting other aspects, but the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This book is about electronic hardware security, with an emphasis on problems that you can solve on a shoestring DIY budget. It deals mostly with secure communications, cryptosystems, and espionage. You will quickly appreciate that you can’t simply buy a trustworthy and reliable cryptosystem off the shelf. You will then realise that this applies equally to individuals, corporations, and governments. If you want to increase your electronic security awareness in a world already overcrowded with networks of microphones and cameras, this is a book for you. Furthermore, if you want to do something DIY by designing and expanding upon simple electronic systems, please continue reading. Some of the devices described are already published as projects in the Elektor magazine. Some are still ideas yet to be worked out. Complexity is the main enemy of security, so we'll try to keep to simple systems. Every chapter will analyse real-life espionage events or at least several hypothetical scenarios that will hopefully spark your imagination. The final goal is to build a security-conscious mindset (or “to get into a head of a spy”) which is necessary to recognise possible threats beforehand, to design a truly secure system. Don’t bother reading if: you think you and your secrets are 100% safe and secure you think somebody else can effectively handle your security you think conspiracy theories only exist in theory – Telefunken’s masterpiece the “FS-5000 Harpoon” was built on one!
