Do It Yourself Solar Panels

Have you ever really thought about how ridiculous it is that we have a huge system that costs billions of dollars to give us electricity, when we have all the electricity we could ever need falling around us all the time? Imagine if we started to take a fraction of it. Everybody has heard of solar panels, but few people realize just how cheap and easy it can be to create 100% clean, free, renewable energy all the time. My neighbors just last week built a set of RV solar panel just last.

The first thing that usually discourages people from installing solar panels is the cost. For a residential home, commercial panels and installation can run upwards of $30,000 depending on where you live and how much of a system you want. However, if you do a bit of creative research, you can turn it into an enjoyable experience that’s fun for the whole family. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Find an instruction manual. Seriously, just spend fifty bucks for quality instruction. It will be worth thousands to you in the future. With the amount of heartache and wasted time you save, this is one investment that will easily pay for itself. Stay away from YouTube instructional videos, those people don’t know what they’re talking about.

2. Find the solar cells online. This is the core of the solar panel, the surface which actually turns sunlight into electricity. If you want to make your own as a science project, it can be really fun and entertaining, but if you’re trying to produce power, better just to buy them. The cost about $70 per panel.

3. Buy the casing materials. I’ve seen sites that claim you can find everything you need for under $30 at your local hardware store/scrap pile. While I haven’t found this to be exactly the case, you can find everything you need for around $50. Depending on your plans, you’ll also need to either find the electronics to wire into your local power grid, or a battery bank. All the info you need should be in your instruction manual.

4. Schedule a fun building strategy. This makes a great family activity or a block party. Think of it as a 21st century barn raising. People will definitely be interested and volunteer to help out if they know what you’re up to.

That’s all there is to it. If you commit just a small amount of time and money, you can have an efficient and effective system of solar panals
