Are you thinking of building your own homemade solar panels? Did you know that you can slash up to 80% of your energy bill with the use of homemade solar panels? On top of that, you can convert the sun’s energy for use in your home for about $100. You also do not need advanced skills in doing this DIY project.
Think about this, for as low as $100 you can save 60%-80% of your monthly energy bill. For such a small investment you can save a huge sum of money every month. This is the reason why a lot of homeowners are thinking of building their own homemade solar panel. You too can build this project on your own and here are the steps you need to be able to complete your own project:
You need to find a cheap 16-volt solar panel; you can easily purchase one at your local hardware retailer for more or less $100.
A battery is the next thing you need to acquire. When choosing what size, you might want to think of getting a big one but a small 12 volt deep battery, cell acid or lead is the way to go and is the most commonly used at home.
Purchasing a battery box is a good idea since it provides protection from the battery and the power that it stores. If you have children around or if you only have a small area then this is a necessity.
Another part you need to purchase is a DC meter that is compatible with the battery’s voltage and DC input. A DC meter is needed for you to convert the energy from your panel to be used as electricity for your home. If you have AC appliances then you would also need to have an inverter.
To start building your homemade solar panel, attach the DC input and meter to the top most end of the battery box. You need to use insulated wires when connecting the meter to the main battery. To avoid confusion it is best to work with one wire at a time and then attach them to the negative input first. Use the same steps when attaching the solar panel and DC inlet to the battery.
You can now begin to gather the sun’s energy and convert it to usable electricity. You need a cord to shut the lid tightly and put the whole equipment out into an open area where the sun can reach it. You need at least 8 hours of charge time for your homemade solar panel to ready for use.
That’s it. If you want to save or eliminate your energy bill then think of creating your own homemade solar panel. Producing solar energy is great for the environment and also beneficial for your family too.
The above steps are the basics; it has been summarized in order to show you an overview of the process. If the steps above are somewhat complicated for you then you need to download a complete guide that will provide you with detailed and easy to follow instructions and also technical support in case you would need assistance in completing the project.
Creating a ‘SOLAR-PANEL’ System or a Wind Generator could be a very satisfying and rewarding project; however, it is very important that you use a sound and reliable step by step set of instructions designed specifically for this purpose. SUPPORT along the process is a must.
