How To Build Your Own Solar Panels

I see these ads but they have the scamy website look.

here is a video i came across a few days ago that might help.

We can make devices that can store tens of thousands of songs(ipods) and other products with the top notch technology but we can’t find out out a way to make Solar power systems more affordable. Why???

The Asian market is coming up with some cheap alternatives. Proberly, these better options will outcompete domestic ones that aren’t as evolved.

In nature, green leaves collect light and produce energy. Is this what they copied to make solar panels? If not how hard would it be to make artificial leaves that would power our homes?

Solar panels were not made to copy leaves. Leaves have molecules that become excited when they are hit by light. They store this energy in ADP molecules and ATP molecules. This works great for biological processes, but until we learn how to use Adenosine Di/Triphosphate to transport energy, we are better off sticking with our solar panels. They produce electricity, which we know how to use.

per square foot

It depends on the efficiency of the panel. A thin-film panel can produce about 6W per sq ft, http://www.altestore.com/store/Solar-Panels/51-to-99-Watt-Solar-Panels/Kaneka-60W-48v-Thinfilm-Solar-Panel/p714/, where a hybrid panel can produce about 14W per sq ft, http://www.altestore.com/store/Solar-Panels/150-Watts-Up-Solar-Panels/Sanyo-Solar-HIT-Power-215N-215W-Solar-Panel/p7359/. A typical polycrystalline panel is around 13W per sq ft. http://www.altestore.com/store/Solar-Panels/150-Watts-Up-Solar-Panels/Kyocera-KD210GX-LP-210W-18V-Solar-Panel/p6825/

Sunpower is a conventional crystalline silicon cell, except with contacts all on the back. These are the most efficient cells widely available commercially. However, Sunpower panels are generally more expensive per watt than other silicon panels.

First Solar is a Cadmium Telluride thin film, theoretically, a lower cost per watt. Per unit area, it’s less efficient than any crystalline silicon panel. The general public cannot buy their product.

Neither of these companies is making very much money, and with current economic conditions, I would not be surprised to see losses for both. First Solar has the distinction of being low cost, and having an actual product – something that all the thin-film startups do not.

I don’t find the price of either company’s stock attractive at present, if that’s what you’re looking for.

http://www.homemadepowerplant.com/?hop=adonpub As a solar electric power system owner, you can qualify to receive free Solar Renewable Energy Certificates [S-RECs] every time your solar electric power system generates 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity from your photovoltaics or solar panels. These certificates can be traded in for cash. They’re just like money. You can contact the power utilities company in your area to provide you with an estimate.

Hi,
I got really interested in the whole concept of solar panels. I read a couple of articles and saw a few videos on how to convert solar energy to electricity, but what I want to know is how can I make the microwave work, only using solar panels?

What I mean, is how many Volts, Watts, Amperes or any of these do I need to make the microwaves fully functional and how many big the solar panels need to be to absord enought energy?

Thanks!

There’s a lot of important details, but the short answer is that you would need a system capable of supplying around 1000W, at 120VAC and capable of handling the current (which would be around 8A).

The specific requirements would depend on how you intend to use the microwave oven (i.e. how long its on for and how often you turn it on). Based on the usage you’d be able to come up with an idea of how many batteries you need (for storing the energy) versus how many solar panels you need (for charging the batteries).

In any case, it would be a fairly expensive way to heat food. Even if you made it cheap (i.e. so that the system could only be used occasionally), I’d guess it would cost at least $1000 for the inverter, batteries and other electronics plus another $1000 for a (relatively low power) solar panel.
If you wanted to make it more of an ‘on demand’ system, you’d be looking at a pretty high price tag.
You’d probably be better off with a solar cooker.

That being said, such a system would be able to power many other household things as well, it wouldn’t be limited to just powering microwave ovens. However economically, solar power isn’t (currently) reasonable (assuming you have access to the grid).

please be specific I want to be self suffusion.

I hope you mean "self-sufficient" as "suffusion" would imply being infused with some liquid, most likely alcoholic beverages.

Unfortunately, most people think of photo-voltaic panels when they think of solar. This technology is only just becoming practical with payback times of about 15 to 25 years. There is some opportunity for DIY photo-voltaics in that damaged panels and cells are often thrown away for cosmestic reasons but still could be used. Therefore it’s just a matter of acquiring some scrap solar cells and piecing them together.

You should look into solar thermal, both solar air and solar water. Solar thermal is literally just pipes painted black, perhaps in an insulated frame with plate glass to trap the heat or high tech evacuated tubes. Most home energy uses are for hot water, heating and air-conditioning, all of which can be provided by solar thermal, yes even air-conditioning through absorption chillers which are actually the oldest form of air-conditioning.

The payback time for solar thermal is typically 5 years.

The true key to self-sufficiency is property. Land that is far away from neighbours that may object to the noise of a wind turbine or the appearance of a scrap solar panel. Land with water resources and topology for ponds at different elevations for microhydro and land for food production. After that, it’s all labour and ingenuity.
