You can build a solar panel! Here's how 

Any motivated do-it-yourselfer can make solar panels. It's inexpensive, it's fun, it's practical -- all it takes is a little ingenuity and a commitment to learn. You can make a solar panel at a surprisingly small cost, depending on where you buy your materials and supplies.

You don't have to be scientist or an engineer to understand and build a solar panel in your backyard. If you obtain good guidance materials, learn all you can about a project, plan carefully, obtain materials and any necessary tools, and take it step by step, YOU CAN DO IT! Once you have assembled your materials you can build your solar panel in a weekend.

Your project can be a learning experience for your home-school or school science fair 

Build a solar panel as a home-school or science fair.

Use your project as the core to learn about solar energy and electricity.

Here are some of lessons you can learn during your project:--
  • properties of conductors
  • properties of insulators
  • properties of semi-conductors
  • how solar panels produce electricity
  • how to build a solar panel
  • practical applications for solar panels

Your solar panel project can be the centerpiece around which you teach electricity and a sustainable future for planet earth.

You need good guidance materials for your home-school or science class project 

You will need good guidance materials for your solar science class project. The guide or manual you choose should be written in clear, understandable language. It should have been tested by "average" people with no prior experience in building solar panels. A motivated high school student should be able to read and understand it.

We've searched the internet and come up with the best solar systems for the home do-it-yourselfer. We've compared and rated them.

The top 5 guidance books also come with instructions on how to build your own wind energy system. It's easy to build a wind energy system and inexpensive, too.
