ʻO kaʻu mau hana leʻaleʻa ʻelua, ʻo ia nā papahana paikikala uila a me nā papahana solar DIY. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua kākau au i puke e pili ana i kēia mau kumuhana ʻelua. No laila, i ka ʻike ʻana i kēia mau wahi ʻelua i hui pū ʻia i loko o kahi huahana ʻē akā maikaʻi loa, ʻo koʻu pule maoli kēia. Manaʻolana wau e hauʻoli like ʻoe me aʻu e luʻu i loko o kēia mea paikikala/kaʻa uila ʻē, nona nā hana he nui, mai nā noho ʻelua a hiki i nā papa panela solar nui e hāʻawi ana i ka laulā palena ʻole!
ʻO kēia kekahi o nā kaʻa uila ʻano ʻē, kupaianaha a hoihoi hoʻi aʻu i ʻike ai i ke kūʻai ʻana ma ka puka makani o Alibaba, ka hale kūʻai lole kikohoʻe ʻokoʻa loa o ka honua. I kēia manawa, ua laki ia i ka lilo ʻana i kaʻa uila ʻano ʻē loa o kēia pule ma Alibaba!
Ua ʻike mua mākou i nā paikikala uila i hoʻohana ʻia e ka lā, akā ʻo kā lākou hoʻolālā he mau koi paʻa no ka pedal. ʻOiai ka mana haʻahaʻa o ka panela nui, ʻo ia hoʻi, pono mau ka mea holo e hāʻawi i kekahi kōkua wāwae koʻikoʻi.
Akā, ʻo kēia paikikala uila nui - uh, tricycle - he uhi nui me ʻelima mau panela lā 120-watt me ka mana holoʻokoʻa o 600 watts. Hoʻoponopono ia i ka pilikia o ka nui o ka panela ma ke kau ʻana iā lākou e like me nā pāpale ma kahi o ke kauō ʻana iā lākou ma hope o ke paikikala.
E hoʻomanaʻo i lalo o nā kūlana kūpono, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i ka 400W a i ʻole 450W o ka mana maoli, akā ke noʻonoʻo ʻia ka nui o ka motika, ua lawa nō kēia.
Hoʻolako wale lākou i ke paikikala me kahi motika hope liʻiliʻi 250W, no laila ʻoiai ka lā liʻiliʻi e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka mana e like me ka hoʻopau ʻana o ka pila. ʻO ke ʻano kēia, inā e puka ana ka lā, he palena ʻole kou laulā.
ʻOiai inā e napoʻo ka lā, hiki i kēia paikikala uila mana lā ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i nā pila 60V a me 20Ah lawa me ka mana o 1,200 Wh. Me he mea lā ua kau ʻia nā pila ma nā alahao hope ʻelua, no laila e nānā paha mākou i ʻelua mau pā pila 60V10Ah i ka manawa like.
Inā manaʻo ʻoe he hoʻohana mau ʻana he 250W, e holo ana ʻoe no kahi kokoke i ʻelima mau hola ma hope o ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā. Ma ka hoʻolālā pono ʻana i kāu ʻano hiamoe a me ka manawa hoʻomaha o ka lumi ʻauʻau, hiki iā ʻoe ke holo ma waho o ke alanui no nā pule me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopili ʻana a me ka hoʻouka ʻana. ʻO kahi pālua o nā pedals ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka mea hoʻokele ʻo ia hoʻi inā pau kāu wai ma hope o kahi lā ao lōʻihi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana iā ʻoe iho. A i ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe pū me ʻoe i kahi mīkini hana no ka hoʻouka wikiwiki ʻana! A i ʻole, hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kahi pākahi paikikala uila ʻelua 60V20Ah me ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa. ʻAʻohe palena o nā mea hiki ke hana e like me ka lā! (E like me kahi 5 biliona mau makahiki o lākou.)
Hāʻawi pū ka canopy o ka panela solar i ka malu kūpono, a hāʻawi pū i kahi kū no nā kukui uila kiʻekiʻe no ka ʻike maikaʻi.
ʻAʻole hoʻokahi wale nō noho moe e kau ana ma lalo o ka ululāʻau. E ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu o lākou ma mua o nā noho paikikala i nā huakaʻi ma waho o ke alanui. Ke kali nei e ʻike ʻia pehea ka lōʻihi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kū ma ka ʻaoʻao me kāu mea holo i ka wā e holo ana ma ka wikiwiki haʻahaʻa loa o 30 km/h (18 mph).
ʻAʻole maopopo pehea e hana ai ka hoʻokele, ʻoiai ua paʻa nā huila hope, ʻoiai ʻaʻohe axles a i ʻole ka hoʻokele articulated o nā huila mua. Malia paha ʻo kēia mau kikoʻī me nā calipers brake i hoʻopili ʻole ʻia i ka lever handbrake he hōʻailona paha i kahi kiʻi i hoʻopau ʻole ʻia. A i ʻole ʻoe e hoʻokele iā ia e like me ka waʻa a hoʻopili i nā brakes e like me Fred Flintstone.
ʻO kekahi o kaʻu mau ʻāpana punahele o kēia paikikala uila mana-lā ʻo ia ke kumukūʻai he $1,550 wale nō! ʻOi aku ke kumukūʻai o ka nui o kaʻu mau paikikala uila ʻaʻole-lā punahele ma mua o kēia, a kūpono wale nō lākou no hoʻokahi mea holo!
No ka leʻaleʻa a me ka ʻakaʻaka wale nō, ua hoʻomaka wau e hele ma kēlā alanui a loaʻa iaʻu kahi hāʻawi no ka hoʻouna ʻana i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no kahi $36,000. No laila, no hoʻokahi haneli mau ʻāpana o $191,000, e hoʻomaka paha wau i kaʻu līkī heihei solar ponoʻī a ʻae i ka mea kākoʻo e uku i ka bila.
