So i saved a large portion by building my own solar system since a commercial solar panel would have cost 400 on up for just the solar panel itself.
How to create solar panel system.
Plan your solar panel system carefully.
Solar energy is a renewable source of energy that not only benefits you but the environment as well.
Solar panels contain cells of semiconductive material usually silicon usually encased in a metallic frame and tempered glass.
Place the square solar cells onto the wooden board and draw separating lines carefully.
After you planned the physical arrangement of the solar cells on the board now start soldering the wires to the solar cells and then to.
A professional solar installer can help calculate the number of solar panels to create the most cost effective system or you can use the solar system size calculator on this site.
Overall the project was a fun experience and the total amount of money that i spent was around 400 500 which includes the battery charge controller and deep cycle battery.
Solar panels charge controller battery charger 2 awg cable at least one 12 volt marine deep cycle battery mechanical lugs 1 power inverter 1 rubbermaid tote or other container 1 battery charger tools.
So you have to add a small solar panel or batteries to match your system requirement.
Things you will need.
You re halfway through after all.
Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of sizing a solar panel system is estimating annual energy usage for your household.

When subject to sunlight photovoltaic cells create a flow of electric charge inside the solar panel due to the photoelectric effect this flow travels in a circuit of wires that connect groups of solar panels called arrays.

With the effort you put into making a homemade solar panel you can help prevent environmental pollution by reducing fossil fuel usage.
This instructable will show you everything you need to put together a pretty good sized electric solar panel system.
