I, Robert Smith, show you every step I take to building a custom made solar panel from scratch. I explain in detail about each item I use and why to use it, so the video is fairly long.
I will be hosting the majority of the video on my own server so you can view it all in one take. It will take time to edit the video, but the more of you that subscribe to the video, the faster I'll try to get it out to you guys as it just shows that people are interested and appreciate what I'm doing, as I'm providing this video for free unlike some videos you see on YouTube.
The method I described in this video is just one way to go about it, however, there are many ways you can build a custom solar panel. Some use aluminum or plastic frames, but I found for a beginner, working with wood would probably be easier and cheaper.
Overall, building a solar panel can be fun, but there are many factors that play into building a solar panel, and I as well still have an extreme amount to still learn about it.
So I hope that for those wanting to learn more about solar energy and wanting to take the adventure of building their own solar panel will find this video very useful.
Again the video is fairly large, so to prevent from having to put 6 or 7 parts on youtube in 10 minute sections, I'm just going to host in on my server.
If you all have ANY questions, feel free to leave a comment under the video.

What's up Robert!! Thanks a lot for the video. The step by step explanation was exellent, i'm working on my solar panel now. U should do a video on Wind energy... That would be great!! Well thanks a lot again. Hey can we e-mail u with questions?
I think it would be a good Idea to make a video making the same panel only with aluminum and longer lasting material. Maybe even using parts of original vid for part comarison. Instead of plexiglass, what do you about using actual glass?
I found out that my max usage of watts per day for my home this summer was 101 watts. With that in mind and the possibility that I need to make sure that I'm covered for a few more watts extra just in case, How many solar cells would I need for my total home solar makeover? and at what price?
I actually just made a script on the website for this. If you go to the website and click on the Solar Tools link at the top, the second script is the one you want to use.
Also, at the beginning of this video is a link (red annotation) to the video I made on how to use it.

Try that as most of the information is shown on the website.
