Solar eBike Trailer

prusaprinters

<p>We are planning on some overnight bike trips with our eBikes. We will need to bring our tent and other camping supplies. We will not always have access to AC charging. I developed this solar panel system that attaches to the trailer. It automatically aims the solar panel at the sun while we are riding. I will charge a second Bosch eBike battery. The control system in another project.</p><p>Parts used:</p><ul><li>Burley Coho XC Bike Trailer ( <a href="https://amzn.to/3qltsRz">https://amzn.to/3qltsRz</a> )</li><li>Richsolar 100W flexible solar panel ( <a href="https://amzn.to/38LLbff">https://amzn.to/38LLbff</a> )</li><li>Genasun GVB-8-Li-41.7V-WP, 8A Waterproof Solar Boost MPPT Charge Controller for 10S 36V Lithium Batteries ( <a href="https://amzn.to/3oMYyBf">https://amzn.to/3oMYyBf</a> )</li><li>12V 8" Linear Actuator ( <a href="https://amzn.to/2N6qLVO">https://amzn.to/2N6qLVO</a> )</li><li>3/4" box Aluminum</li><li>1" L Aluminum</li><li>Makerpipe EMT pipe connectors ( <a href="https://makerpipe.com/">https://makerpipe.com/</a> )</li><li>EMT 3/4" pipe ( <a href="https://amzn.to/2N7e50X">https://amzn.to/2N7e50X</a> ) available locally at most Home Depots</li><li>1" Schedule 40 PVC pipe ( <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/VPC-1-in-x-24-in-PVC-Sch-40-Pipe-2201/202300506">https://www.homedepot.com/p/VPC-1-in-x-24-in-PVC-Sch-40-Pipe-2201/202300506</a> )</li><li>1/4" PTO Locking pins ( <a href="https://amzn.to/3stHFh9">https://amzn.to/3stHFh9</a> )</li><li>2" 8-32 Stainless Steel Bolts ( <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-32-x-2-in-Combo-Round-Head-Stainless-Steel-Machine-Screw-15-Pack-802842/204274454?NCNI-5">https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-32-x-2-in-Combo-Round-Head-Stainless-Steel-Machine-Screw-15-Pack-802842/204274454?NCNI-5</a> )</li><li>8-32 Stainless Steel nuts ( <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-32-Stainless-Steel-Machine-Screw-Nut-50-Pack-802822/204276144">https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-32-Stainless-Steel-Machine-Screw-Nut-50-Pack-802822/204276144</a> )</li><li>1.5" 8-32 Stainless Steel Bolts ( <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-4-in-20-x-1-1-2-in-Combo-Round-Head-Stainless-Steel-Machine-Screw-10-Pack-802852/204274482">https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-4-in-20-x-1-1-2-in-Combo-Round-Head-Stainless-Steel-Machine-Screw-10-Pack-802852/204274482</a> )</li><li>#8 Stainless Steel washers ( <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-Stainless-Steel-Flat-Washer-50-Pack-800022/204276447">https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-Stainless-Steel-Flat-Washer-50-Pack-800022/204276447</a> )</li></ul><p>As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/F27a7yQKD6s"></oembed></figure>
