Making A Solar Panel

In the time of recession, high prices, global warming and pollution, there is nothing more logical than going off the grid and killing two birds with one stone. You'll have more money in your pocket (considerably more!) and our beautiful Earth will get just a little LESS polluted.

Of course that's completely and utterly logical, and we humans like logic, right? So, you decided to sun-power your home! You look around the internet and what do you find? Cost of solar panels are going through the roof at $3000 being the cheapest!!! Majority of people would just give up at that point, but not you! You're KNOW there is a way of making your house Sun-powered and you're absolutely determined to find it out! And, when there's will...

The internet is full of all sorts of guides and tutorials about assembling your own solar panels. Some of them are quite good, although maybe a bit pricey, some are badly written and that step by step title on the cover turns out to be mistake by mistake really. And then, some of them are purely and simply scams, just a bunch of mumbo jumbo.

But in spite of all, you still want to get the job done!

Well, I'm glad you found this page. As you can see, there are no fancy pictures around here, no pompous video tutorials! There is only good and honest info about making a solar panel at your home, using the right tools and the right guidance. You see, I am a Green enthusiast as well, and if you fail at making a solar panel and getting your home sun-powered in the easiest and the most inexpensive way there is, then this will be my failure too.

I'm on your side and that's why I'm gonna tell you a secret concerning just about any DIY project there is:

The most important thing in making a solar panel is to understand how it works. This happen to be true for anything in life by the way, except when it comes to cars -- knowing engines doesn't make one a better driver, does it!

Solar panel contains a set of solar cells connected to one another electrically and wired up with copper in series. When the photons inside the light hit the cell, they transform into electric power. This is called Photo-Voltaic effect. It could get complicated to explain just what that is, but the important thing is that this is how the electricity is made out of the sun!

I still get excited when I'm thinking about the process. Imagine what amazing gift we have -- right out of thin air (literally) we can produce electricity to power every little thing that needs to be powered! No money needed! No pollution made!

Just plug and play!

And the beauty of this is that you can store that electric energy into the batteries, so that you can use it afterward. A word of advice though -- when making a solar panel, don't forget a charge controller. This will allow to regulate the amount of electricity that the panel will send into the batteries, and thus you won't over-charge them and make their life much shorter. Charge controllers are very easy to operate and very cheap to buy, so don't fret!

Again, everything you need to make a solar panel on your own is a good guidebook. Trust me on this, it is the only prerogative! Everything else is either already in your possession (like your strong will to make this work), or it lies somewhere in your vicinity (like that toolbox in your shed, or that hardware store down the street).

This is not just the talk, this is very much the walk!

People who'd like to scam you will always try to sell you everything else -- not just the thing you came to buy, but everything else that has even the slightest connection with the product you wanted. So, if you wanted to buy some legal pads, they'll try to sell you pencils as well. Or, if you wanted to buy a dog, they'll do their best to persuade you to buy 10 tomes of dog training books.

This is the way you can tell the ones who would like to help you from those who just look for the way to take your money away.

So, to the question what do I need to make a solar panel, my answer is this: look at the link below and just read through the page it will take you to.

I promise you -- you will get exactly what you need.
