 The Sun is able to produce electricity. Panels covered with photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity. Modules made of crystalline silicon are grouped together and absorb the Sun's energy. To make a solar panel, several modules have to be connected together. Then a soldering flux is applied each module. For the purpose of building a solar panel at home, you can acquire solar components from various sources. Acquiring used solar components is desirable because the price will be low. Once you have solar cells, you can lay them out in a logical fashion. Make certain the solar cells are not cracked. Solar cells are very fragile and glasslike, so handle with care. You will need to solder the solar cells together to make your own solar panel. You should then build a plywood box. The dimensions of the box will depend on how many solar cells you have and how much electricity you want to generate. You can then lay the soldered solar creation into the box you created. To protect your solar panel from the elements, you want to top it off with a plexiglass panel. Plexiglas is a good material to cover the solar panel. It is also relatively inexpensive. You can obtain Plexiglas new or find it cheaper used. To ensure a good seal, use silicon sealant by joining the Plexiglas to the plywood box. This is a critical component when making your own solar panels. Various other electrical components will be utilized. I recommend finding a good guide to walk you step-by-step through the entire process. Not only will it save you money, it will save you hours of your time and prevent frustration. Hopefully now you have a basic idea of how to build solar panels. Once you have your solar panel built, it can be mounted on a rooftops or other sunny area. The goal is to collect as much sunshine as possible during daylight hours. This electricity can then be fed to the rest of your solar energy system. If you're using batteries, the energy can be stored overnight. This lets you use the solar generate electricity when the sun is not shining.
