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 build a solar panel. DIY Solar cell tabbing & solar panel testing
I bought 60+ solar cells that I tab and solder. This is a great DIY project.
Its not as hard as I thought to build a solar panel from single solar cells.
This is a great way to save money and do your part to save energy.

I hope you enjoy it.

DIY Forced Air “Coroplast” solar panel

This is a solar panel that I built from recycled materials (2×6 DF frame and glass). The 7/16″ OSB on the back, 3″ ABS pipe, fittings, glue and thermometer and screws where purchased for around $90.00. The panel took two weekends to complete. During the one hour testing period, the panel produced between a 42 to 49 degree increase of temp at the return port of the panel. This temp increase includes the 7 degree increase of temp from the 6.25 hp Shop Vac used in the test.

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

DIY Homemade 12V to 48V DC-DC Converter Solar Panel Battery Electric Bike eBike Charger PC Board

This circuit converts 12V DC from solar panel and battery storage system and produces 48V DC (60V) to charger the battery pack in my DAYMAK Austin electric bike. Faster charge than OEM charger. Great for someone driving an RV from campground to campground with an e bike on the back for short trips once they get to their destination. This circuit will keep the batteries fully charged and ready to go. You can also use this with a 12V battery charger charger if you original charger has given up the ghost. Or you could have a solar panel charge a battery during the day and use the energy stored to charge your electric bicycle or EV for “free” at night. Automatic circuit switches to trickle charging after battery is completely fast charged.
