Do-It-Yourself Solar Panels – a Cheaper Home Energy Solution

http://www.EnergyBrainiac.com – Do-It-Yourself Solar Panels – a Cheaper Home Energy Solution
There are already several do-it-yourself solar panels that have been made accessible to the public whether over the net or in the actual market. The availability of these has also been incorporated with devices wherein you can study and learn the production, planning, and fabrication of electricity derived from raw sunlight. This has already become a new trend as a renewable supply of energy made available to everybody. Now, we can use heat from the rays of the sun and convert it into usable power. With the help of an appropriate device, we can transform this heat to electricity, helping us save about eighty percent off our monthly electric bills.

Though ready-made panels are indeed just as available in the market, the downside to it is their cost. Prices range from $2000 to $3000 as compared to do-it-yourself ones that are priced only at around $200. Surely, at about over a thousand dollars difference, the do-it-yourself solar panels are hands down more preferable, especially when we know that they come with their own do-it-yourself guides nowadays.

These guides teach you the exact steps in an illustrated manner on how you can go about building your own renewable energy system to tap on sunlight for your electricity needs at home. Not only so, you will learn how to do this affordably.

Once you have already installed them on your roof or backyard, you will also have already started generating your very own electricity. Almost everybody has a lot of, or even just enough, free space on the roof or backyard to make room for these power generating devices.

These house areas or locations are the ideal spots to put them on since it is these areas that are usually most open to direct sunlight and one can easily install the solar panels there. For those who happen to have houses that are too small to accommodate or consume all of the excess electricity the do-it-yourself solar panels generate, the “surplus” energy can actually be sold to local utility companies and rechanneled to other households in the neighborhood, thereby generating income for you and your family as well.

How to Make Solar Panels – Build Homemade Solar Panels & Save $1000s

http://www.SolarEnergyGuide.net – How to Make Solar Panels – Build Homemade Solar Panels & Save $1000s
Building homemade solar panels is an excellent way to save money and protect the environment at the same time. Making your own solar panels is not as difficult as it may sound. Some of the things you will need are: an electric stove, copper wires, a micro-meter etc. These materials can be easily found in any hardware store. To build your own solar panels you will need to make solar cells, connect them in series and also connect the solar panels to one another. After that you should connect the solar panels to a battery and an inverter that will convert the solar energy into usable form for home use. It may take you a few days to complete the project, but it is definitely much better to do it yourself instead of paying up to $3000 for a ready made solar panel.

This is why you should use the power of the sun: * Save more than 80% on your electricity bill or even eliminate it completely. * Save on taxes for using green energy. * Gain money by selling the extra power to the electric company. * Reduce the pollution by using a clean and inexhaustible energy source.

The best place to install solar panels is your roof because there they can absorb direct sunlight, but if that is not an option you can also use your garden, your backyard and many other places. Solar cells collect energy even in cloudy days.

Solar energy systems can be used to produce electricity to power all devices in your home (photovoltaic) or to produce heat for bathing and your swimming pool (solar thermal system).

In general building your own solar power system costs less than $300 and practically pays for itself within a couple of months.

More and more people everyday take advantage of the power of the sun and save lots of money on electricity bills.

By following the step-by-step instructions of a Reliable Solar Energy Kit you can follow their example and protect the environment. Read this DIY Solar Kits Review and find the manual that best fits your needs. How to Make Solar Panels – Build Homemade Solar Panels & Save $1000s

Solar panels are available in the market today, which are made of high quality and processed silicon. However, plenty of people are now looking on how to make solar panels for their own projects, residential or home use, and is ideally suited to a small household.

Is it difficult to make solar panels?

Solar panels can be easily made at home by making use of diy (do it yourself) homemade solar panel guides, which are available on the internet today, or making use of kits which are easily available at electrical stores nowadays. Those who have prior experience in fixing up electrical equipments at home will find this task of making their own solar power panel at home extremely easy, although if you have a good guide, then there should be no problem.

If you already have solar cells :

The first and foremost requirement is to make use of photovoltaic cells. These cells are extremely light in weight, and are easy to transport from one place to the other.

You then need to choose on where you plan to make the solar panels and install it. Ideally, the backyard, garden of the house, or a flat rooftop are the correct places to install the solar panels, because they are the places that can receive the largest amount of sunlight available.

When you have chosen the right location, you can then start with the process to make solar panels. First, place the photovoltaic cells on the floor of the roof, garden, or the backyard, or whichever place you have chosen in making your own solar panel. These cells needs to be stacked one after the other in a horizontal arrangement, and should be installed at such an angle from the sun that it will be able to capture the maximum amount of sunlight and store it inside.

How do I get started in making a solar cell?

A solar cell makes up a solar power panel, so you need to know on how to make a solar cell. The required components in making your own solar panel are :

- sheet of copper
- two alligator clip leads
- a micro-meter that is sensitive enough to read currents between 10-15 micro-amperes
- an electric stove
- table salt, tap water, sand paper, and sheet metal shears

Now you need to cut a piece of the copper sheet with the exact size that of your electric stove. Thoroughly clean the copper sheet for any possible traces of sulphide or other corrosion.

Heat it on the burner and when it gets red-hot, the copper sheet will undergo color changes from pinking red to brown, and finally becoming a thick layer of black coat over it.

Then the stove and the copper sheet should be cooled off gradually. A layer of soft red cuprous oxide will be left over the copper sheet. Resist the temptation of removing all the black spots since this may damage the red cuprous oxide which is needed to make the solar cell work.

Then this sheet of copper should then be joined together with another sheet of copper of the same size. Use the alligator clips to join the two sheets together, and place it into a wide-mouthed jar or bottle. Ensure that the two sheets to not get in touch with each other. The copper sheet with red cuprous oxide should be connected to the negative terminal, and the clean copper sheet can be joined to the positive terminal. Saltwater should cover the bottom of the plates, but the clips of the two sheets at the top should be left dry.

The above procedures addresses the question on how to make solar panels at home. This can be used to generate electricity from the heat of the sun.
