http://www.SolarEnergyGuide.net - How to Make a Homemade Solar Panel
Solar panels, unlike before, are cheap and easy to install with great efficiency. With this advent, you
can save big money as well as help save the environment. A DIY kit is available and has an easy to
follow instruction with them. What you need is some simple tools and you're done.
Here is your guide to make a homemade solar panel:
1. First, you must know the loads of your solar panel and the package that is affordable to you. One
watt of solar panel module will coast you about $25 and a 200 watts module is around $1000. If you need
more power, you can connect this to form a collector to produce your desired power needs. Electrical
connections are made in series to achieve a desired output voltage and/or in parallel to provide a
desired amount of current capability.
2. After selecting the solar panel modules, you need a charge controller which is an important system
component that regulates the voltage generated by the solar panel. This will regulate your power and
provide protection to the batteries from being over or under-charged.
3. Next, you need a solar inverter this will convert 12 volt DC (direct current) from solar panel to 125
volts AC (alternating current) which will feed your appliances. Some high end inverters combine an
inverter, battery charger and dual transfer switch in one package.
4. Batteries are needed if there is no sun or there is a blackout in your area. Typically, lead acid
batteries are use because of performance and cost. Newer lead-acid battery is called maintenance free
and this does not require water addition, but this is expensive. The battery is one of the first
components of your solar panel to be replaced. Usually, a battery can have 200 to 300 charge/discharge
cycle because of corrosion and depletion of active materials. So, be prepared to change batteries in
about a year. Typical price of batteries ranges from 100 to 500 dollars.
5. Also, you must consider the battery enclosure as this are toxic and can explode. Solar PV
(Photovoltaic) Panel Mounting System is where your panel will be installed. You can choose either at the
roof, pole, or at the ground. There are so many designs to choose from and some have motors to track the
sun.
6. The last, but certainly the most important one, is that make sure to have your wire connection
checked by qualified technician. Faulty electrical wiring is the most common fire hazard today.
Now that you know how to make a homemade solar panel, you can now start this DIY project with ease. It's
affordable and simple without having to worry about your monthly expenditure on electricity anymore.
You can definitely save money and the environment by making a homemade solar panel at your own home. It
is a fun, enriching, and worthy project to undertake.
