Instructions to Build a Solar Panel

Welcome graphic

Energy from sunlight is one of the best and most effective renewable energy sources available. The difficulty most new environmental warriors find is that the financial burden of professionally installed solar power systems is way beyond their budget and it could take well over 10 years to see a return on their investment. Never fear, there are alternatives. The most cost-effective way to take advantage of the power of the sun is to construct solar panels on your own. What you need is plans to build a solar panel!

Too much trouble? If you are scared it would be difficult, it really is not true. It is simple to build solar panels with the proper instructions. Easy enough for kids, teens and adults. The parts aren't complicated either. The items you would need to build solar panels are available at your local hardware store or you can purchase a solar panel kit, which will include all the supplies you need to be generating your own solar energy. Once you have the instructions to build a solar panel, it is possible to construct several solar panels to power appliances or tools in your workshop. With the right blueprints you could build solar panels to service a much larger electric load.

Resources are readily available with detailed instructions on how to build solar panels. The most important step is to locate quality step by step plans. Step two is a visit to to your local hardware store to find or order your parts and the next time you have some free time, you will be able to assemble and install the system yourself. Just beware, the neighbors may start asking you to build solar panels for them too.

Not only is it going to save you money to build solar panels yourself, but you can feel proud that you are doing your part for the environment as well. Being independent from fossil fuels and making a much-needed impact on your neighborhood and the rest of the world.

Purchased solar energy systems can cost thousands to be installed and in today's economy most of us don't have money to spare. Make the choice to go solar today and learn to build solar panels on your own. It will be something to take pride in.
