In attempting to answer this question, I will share my own experience in building solar panels.

The thing that aroused my interest in solar energy solutions was looking for ways to lessen the carbon footprints our energy consumption was leaving on the environment as well as reduce the amount of expenditure on out energy bills.

Being a cleaner, renewable and free form of energy I settled on solar as my alternative energy. I did a search on the internet found a local installer and gave their phone number a call, what happened next shocked me, the cost of having a system installed was just under $9,000! this just wasn’t an option, it would take years to recoup the cost of installation with the savings made from using solar. I decided to dig a little deeper and being a handyman type of guy started looking for a do it yourself (DIY) solution.

What I found after searching online was you can get how to build solar panels guides for less than fifty bucks.

It took me three days from the time I Purchased my guide, built my homemade solar cells and wired them up to some batteries.
