Learn the basics of solar lighting system radiation

Here's how: --

Learn the basics of solar lighting system radiation and solar technology. Solar science is absolutely fascinating, but it's not rocket science. Learn the basics of electricity and safely working with electricity. Learn how solar cells convert the sun's energy into electricity. Solar cells are the building blocks for solar panels. Learn how the cells are connected together in a panel to produce greater power. Learn how to use a battery to store solar-generated power for use later.

Examine conditions at your house and property for solar power suitability. Do the sun's rays strike your house and grounds during the day, season and year? For how many hours a day? Where is the best location on your property for a solar panel?

Build a small scale solar inverter power system. If you are a motivated do-it-yourselfer, you can build a solar panel yourself. Obtain a good set of plans, and gather the necessary supplies and materials. When you have everything you need, you can build a solar panel in a weekend. Materials and supplies should cost about $200. Once you have built your solar panel, put it to use in a small-scale solar power system. Connect it appropriately to a battery and store power generated during daylight hours. With the proper electrical interface you can use your small scale solar system to power small appliances and tools, or to light up a garden path. You will be save money on your electric bill and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time.
