Homemade Solar Cells -Are They Possible -

Solar panels function by producing electricity with certain wave lengths of light. To work best, all the panels need are direct sunlight and low temperature.

Today it is simpler than ever to build your own homemade solar panel, with all the methods and kits available. Your own homemade solar panel can be a effective way to make your own power and save on potential electric bills for your recreational vehicle or for your house.

Different Types of Solar Energy Panels

There are two central types of solar panels. One that creates energy in the form of heat, the other that makes energy in the form of electricity. "Regular" panels use solar energy to heat water for basic needs, or even pools. The absorber turns the radiation from the sun into what we call heat. The second type of solar panel, known as photovoltaic panels, it converts light into electricity. These panels are usually mounted on the roof. The electricity created by these panels is either directly wired into your house, or sent to batteries, which serves as the electricity storage device. The battery will then supply all the electricity that your household needs, depending on the size of your battery, and how much sunlight your residence receives.

Your homemade solar cells will be made from a collection of solar cells. Each solar cell produces a small trickle of electricity, but all together they can produce enough electricity to run your household. It is important for the panels to keep facing the sun to receive direct sunrays. For my house I have it so the homemade solar cells receive 6+ hours of sun light.
You can choose from a number of tracking solar mounts available. The single-axis tracker is fixed at a vertical angle. Basically this allows the solar panels to either automatically adjust to the sunlight, or you manually move them. The angle is manually maneuvered to follow the path of the sun, which is based on continuing changes. For summer, the rule is to set the panels at your latitude minus 15, and for wintry weather, you may set the panels at your latitude plus 15. The dual-axis tracker adjusts the vertical angle automatically.

Your distinctive needs and requirements will dictate what type of solar panel is right for you. If making these panels is not for you watch for solar panel sales, you can often find huge deals on these energy saving items if you time it right. So basically making your own solar cells at home, is a waste of time, the best and most cost efficient way to do it is to follow some guides available on the internet which teach you how to get the solar panels for cheap, and how to integrate them into your house.
