I ve been interested in renewables for a while now.
How to build a solar panel system at home.
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.
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.
Home built solar power system.
Commercially available solar panels are very costly.
Solar energy is a growing industry.
To build your own solar panel you ll need to build a frame buy and attach solar cells build the panel box wire the panel and install your entire solar panel.

The main problem that inspired me to make this sys.
The good news is you can make your solar panel from scratch.
Our society can t continue to work on oil and with rising gas prices and more frequent power outages solar energy seems to be the way to go.
A couple of other things you are going to wind up needing are a power inverter to create household electricity and a charge controller in order to charge the batteries.
Of course there are lots of secrets you ll find out only through practice but the overall idea is that such a system is cheap and for 200 watts of power you ll need solar cells worth about 200 and batteries worth about 400 to 500.
The solar panel size should be selected in such way that it will charge the battery fully in one sunny day.
