A lot of the solar panels are available today in the market, they are usually made from high quality and processed silicon. However, a lot of people nowadays are making their own solar panels, not only they want to decrease the cost of their electric bills but also for fun. Probably, the question that you would want to ask and have an answer is how to build your own solar panel. Keep on reading more and find out.

Solar panels can be easily done at home by making use of do it yourself homemade solar panel guides, which are available on the internet today, or you can also make use of equipment which are easily available at electric stores nowadays. People who have experience in fixing up electrical equipment at home will find this work at home extremely easy, although if you have a good guide, then there is no problem.

First and foremost, you need to make use of photovoltaic cells because these are extremely light in weight, and are easy to transport from one place to the other. Then you have to select for the location, on where you plan to make the solar panels and install the solar panels. Preferably, good places to install these are at the backyard, garden, or on the flat rooftop because they are the places that can receive the largest amount of sunlight available.

Then you can now start the procedure of making your own solar panels once you have chosen the exact location. First, put the photovoltaic cells on the floor of the roof, garden, or the backyard, or whichever place you have selected in making your own solar panel. These cells must be stacked one after the other and in horizontal way and must be installed in an angle from the sun so as to capture the maximum amount of sunlight and be able to store it inside.

How does this generate power? A material type red cuprous oxide which is also a semiconductor, this is an insulator where electrons are bound tightly to their atoms and do not flow freely, and a conductor, where electricity can flow freely. The electrons are hit when the sunlight hits the cuprous oxide then some of these electrons gain ample energy to jump past the bandgap therefore conducting electricity. After that, these electrons then move into the saltwater, then into the clean copper sheet, into the wire, then through the meter, and then go back to the red cuprous oxide sheet, and electricity is now generated.

You contribute in saving the Earth from the harm that people have done but you are also helping yourself in paying too high electric bills when you build your own solar panel. Having solar panels at home have various of advantages, just think of it and build your own.
