Homemade Solar Panel:

Today, it is easier than ever to build your own Solar Panel, with all the kits and methods available, your own homemade solar panel can be an effective way to produce your own power and save on future power bills. All the components required for creating your own solar panel are made available in most kits. These components typically include: solar cells, a soldering iron, flux and tabbing. Kits typically include detailed instructions on how to make a solar panel. Constructing a solar panel at home does not require professional expertise. All you need is a kit, guideline, clear idea and a logical mind. You can simply follow the step-by-step instructions available with the kit and create you very own homemade solar panels.

Homemade solar panel can be made from a collection of solar cells. Each solar cell produces a small amount of electricity, but collectively they can produce enough electricity to fulfill your household power needs. It is important for the panels to keep facing the sun to receive direct sunrays. It’s the crucial requirement for its working because again our logical mind says that the sun is the source of energy for our solar panels so it should not be barrier by shade or not-so-ample sunlight. There must be no hurdle between sun and solar panels, the way should be clear and direct.

You can choose from a number of tracking solar mounts available. The single-axis tracker is fixed at a vertical angle. The angel is manually maneuvered to follow the path of the sun, which is based on seasonal changes. For summer, the rule of thumb is to set the panels at your latitude minus 15, and for winter, you can set the panels at your latitude plus 15. The dual-axis tracker adjusts the vertical angle automatically. So you don’t need to worry about that either. It works easily and efficiently without any extra care and maintenance.  

Biggest advantage of building and installing solar panel is that they are eco-friendly. They produce green energy to use the latest terminology. Other forms of electricity emit certain harmful elements that contribute to smog, and other pollution, while solar power is free from such perilous emissions. If you find you entail more energy output, you may add more solar panels to generate more power. At the end of the day it all depends on your own requirement of energy so you can adjust your solar panels accordingly. There is no hard and fast rule in the amount of panels, they more you want you can add to your roof with proportion to the space available.
