How to make your own solar panel - it's easy!

Many folks have recently been looking into solar panels: are they really a worthwhile way of fighting your increasing energy costs? Well, it is almost obvious that having solar panels to generate your own electricity is a good idea; but as soon as you find out how much it costs to professionally install solar panels you come to the conclusion that they may be just too expensive and difficult to justify. What you need to realize is that there is in fact a cost-efficient way to use the power of the sun that is also easier than you think. The question is: do you want to find out how to make your own solar panel?

The fact is that if you are willing to do a little DIY and you are motivated enough then you can indeed learn how to make your own solar panel -- and they can be for your own home, for your business, or just for your workshop. While you could obviously buy pre-built solar panels and install them yourself, once you know how to make your own solar panel you will see that you can supply your electricity for a lower cost. What's more, you will enjoy having control over the project yourself, and be able to design the panels to your own size specifications too.

Obviously the first thing you need is a good-quality user manual to show you how to make your own solar panel; after that, most of the hardware you need should be fairly easy to find. This hardware includes plywood, copper wire, plywood, and so on, and can usually be found in a typical hardware store. The other thing you need will usually not be in a typical hardware store: solar or photovoltaic cells -- the part that actually converts sunlight into electricity. These cells can usually be found easily on the internet, although you may be lucky and find a supplier nearby.

Once you have the manual and the supplies it will usually take you about a day to build a single one hundred watt solar panel; this is will provide enough electricity to operate several small appliances. You will also need a battery to store the energy you produce but don't use, so that you can still have electricity even at night.

The most important part, then, is finding a good-quality user manual containing detailed instructions showing you how to make your own solar panel. Bear in mind that you will get what you pay for, and taking care to ensure you get a well-recommended, well-reviewed guide that just costs a few extra dollars will be worth it in the end. Bear in mind that the overall cost of making your own solar panels is very low, and the rewards so great, that the actual price of the manual is minimal in comparison -- and insignificant when compared with buying a proprietary solar panel installed by someone else.

So, give it a try! In just a short time you can learn how to make your own solar panel, install it, and be proud that not only are you saving money, but you did it all yourself. You can soon be the proud owner of a whole set of solar panels that meet your electricity needs, and you can sit back and relax knowing that the next time there is a power cut on your block your light will stay on because you have your very own electricity supply stored in your own battery!
