Source All the Materials - Though the material list is
minimal, you will need to purchase the materials required to build a simple
container, along with wiring, which can be found at your local hardware store.
Both simple and complex solar panels require a photovoltaic solar cell, the
working part of the system that collects energy from the rays of the sun and
converts into electricity. The photovoltaic inverter cells can be purchased online,
directly from the manufacturer, or at discounted prices at online auction
houses including eBay.
Generate Your Own Power - Once you have a firm understanding
of the construction process, and have acquired all the necessary components,
you can fabricate your first solar panel in just a few hours. The moment you
have finished its construction, it will begin producing electricity, as long as
it is in contact with the rays of the sun. A simple small photovoltaic solar
panel can generate enough electricity to supply necessary energy to run a small
appliance or light. By attaching a battery to the system, you can produce and
store enough electricity to use the object after sundown.
Increase the Solar System Size - A large pure
sine wave inverter
panel system, or whole house system, is nothing more than large group of small
single solar panels connected in the series. The construction of a larger
system may include batteries, or be connected directly to your local utility
company. Batteries offer homeowners the freedom of generating electricity in
locations where conventional fossil fuel electrical power is not provided.
Alternatively, connecting your system into the national electric grid, and
using a reverse electric meter, provides the opportunity to generate
electricity, during the day, which can be sold to your utility company. After
the Sun has set, simply purchase that same electricity back from them. This
will save you the cost and maintenance of using batteries.
