Do Homemade Solar Panels Really Work?

Homemade solar panels are somewhat of a pipe-dream to most people, but not all. Many people around the world are turning their backs on large corporations who are pumping out medium quality solar panels with hefty price tags and choosing to make their own. The technology to harness solar energy and convert it into electricity has been around for a long time, but it has only been in recent years that people have started to create their own homemade solar panels to meet their personal energy needs. And what with the internet, more people day by day are taking up the challenge themselves.
Whether it be due to the fact of this current economic crisis that we are in, or the fact that many of us are becoming more concerned with global warming and the effects of our own personal carbon footprint, homemade solar panels are on the increase. With published figures suggesting that many people could save 80% off of their power bills, it is little wonder that this phenomenon is spreading. We have even read of people coming totally off grid by having a small collection of homemade solar panels on their roof. For many it really is becoming more and more of a viable option.
Creating homemade solar panels, can be an amazing learning experience for children if you have them. Just image. They get to build something really cool, something that they can be proud of, while at the same time getting an education in saving money, the environment, DIY and physics. What more could they ask for? Better still, many homemade solar panels can be built, installed and working in just a few hours. This makes it an ideal project for kids with a short attention span and means that you can have something to do together on say a Saturday afternoon. Just imagine the fun you could have and the memories you would create.
I guess you are wondering how expensive these homemade solar panels are going to be? Well, it may surprise you, but taking the DIY route, many people produce panels for as little at $100 all in. Now compare that with the average cost of $20,000 for a mass produced panel and you're on to a winner. Consistently, homemade panels come in at only a fraction of the price of their expensive, commercially made relatives, but they are every bit as powerful. For the first two years, many people just plough their savings back in and make new panels to add to their collection each month until they can come completely off grid.
When considering whether DIY homemade solar panels are for you, you'll have to weigh up the pros can cons. Here are a few that we came up with.
Pros
  • Save up to 80% to 100% off your electricity bill.
  • Massively reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Have something fun to do with the kids or on your own.
  • Homemade panels are very easy to build and take only 2-3 hours each.
  • You'll save a huge amount compared with buying a commercially built panel.
  • Once you have made one, your cost of making subsequent panels is reduced.
Cons
  • You have to do the work (Even-though it's only a few hours).
What if you could have free electricity in your home?
