Make Solar Panel At Home
Step 1
We are slaves to our energy needs. Energy allows us to live our lives to the fullest. This generation has no idea how past generations lived without it. People of the past had no where near the power requirements we do today. Those were the days when life cost less. Because of the economy, costs of power have risen to new all time highs. There are options to consider before you spend too much on energy. Many people are seeking ways to spend less on monthly bills. The solution many people are coming to is to build their own solar panels.
Step 2
You can build your own solar panels cheap. When you get your solar panels setup in your home, you could possibly generate more electricity then you can use, creating an excess. This excess can be paid for by the energy company. This is great news when you look at how high power bills are getting. In order to build your own, you need some simple items.
Step 3
The first item you need to get is a 12-16 volt solar panel. Then you need a small, rechargeable battery and a batter box. Those items are essential. Next you need a DC meter with a voltage equal to the battery. Also grab a DC input. These items will take energy stored in the solar panel and convert it to a form of power usable in your home. If you plan on using your solar panel energy to power AC appliances you will need an inverter to convert the power.
Step 4
Building solar panels at home require these parts to be completed. When you finish getting these parts you can begin your solar panel project. You will need a hand held drill to attach the DC meter and the DC input to the top end of the battery box. When connecting the battery, be sure to use insulated wire to avoid any problems. Follow instructions and connect one wire at a time to the battery. Lastly, connect the DC inlet and the solar panel to the battery.
Finished
Now go out and place your solar panels and hope for a sunny day. Give it about 8 hours to suck up some sun and then try it out.
