My Success Story with Making Solar Panels
Here’s how to make your own solar panels for 112.32. Take a gander at the tools and supplied I used.:
New or Used Solar Cells
Just a piece of wood to use as backing and as the frame for support
Plexiglass made of plastic
Old screws
Silicone Chaulk that can be bought for about 2 bucks
I had some wiring left over from installing the garage opener
Diode to use on the actual sola cells itself
Paint – not mandatory
A Jones Plug that can be bought at a hardware store
When you make your own solar panels, it can be really fun and also save you money in the long run. Imagine if everyone reduced their energy consumption if they all had solar panels. Take it from me, I dropped out of college and I was still able to finish this.You may think you need to have a degree in electrical engineering to build your own solar panels, but my 13-year old son built one with my help.
The things in the list are just as important as the instructions on how to make your own solar panels. You can get most of these items for cheap and some of them even for free. Manufacturing companies have standards on which they can sell their products. There happens to be errors in manufacturing which makes the materials not sellable, but still usable. The things that can be received for cheap are solar cells that are broken but still usable, wiring and plastic plexiglass.
I couldn’t have done it without the help of Power4 Home to make my solar panels. Hopefully you can do the same and make the same solar panels as I did.
I thank you for reading how I made solar panels. I wish you the best of luck with your green solar panel endeavors. Go green and save the environment.
