Don't Buy Solar Power Panels When You Can Make Them

Putting renewable energy systems into residential homes seems to be the way to go given the squeeze on traditional energy resources and the finite nature of them. Many government policies now give incentives, such as rebates, discounts or even grants to use such a system in the home. It has even got to the stage where DIY enthusiasts are building there own systems and saving money on buying solar power panels. So what should you do, buy solar power panels or build them on your own ?

SideBar: Looking for more on renewable energy resources then click solar power for the home and Home Made Energy review for details on how you could be using renewable energy today, to not only save yourself a bit of money but also benefit the environment.

Well, if you know how you should make them properly. Doing this is a more cost effective approach than buying a solar panel. Obviously there is more involved and you can't make every component of the panels. For instance, you will have to purchase the photo voltaic (PV) cells. In fact this can account for the overall cost of the panel. Finding inexpensive PV cells makes the difference between a costly solar panle and otherwise.

When you have the PV cells all you have to do is join them together in a serial or parallel configuration on a wooden board and frame. The board will hold the PV cells together and all the wiring that is used to allow current to flow to a battery bank. Some plastic or glass covering will go over the PV cells to protect them from weathering and other damage.

So it is actually quite simple to make solar power panels but it can be time consuming. As with most new things, the first panel will take a bit of time, but the following panels will be easier to make. The other time consuming part of putting a solar powered system into your home is integrating the system into electrical system. Once again, after you have made the first panel, making others is quicker and easier.

The only reason why you would buy solar power panels (if you knew how to make them) is because the PV cells that you could source are inferior to the pre-made panels cells. You may also find it more convenient to buy a new panel than have to find PV cells, plywood frames, glass covering, wires and the like. The relevant question is if that kind of DIY project inspires you.
