The Cost of Building Solar Panels

Over the last few years there has been an upsurge in interest in solar panels and building your own for your home. The reason for this is that the technology is now more widely accepted and the parts used to build the solar energy panels are now easily located and bought at local hardware stores and online.
The technology has also advanced to the point that you no longer have to have direct sunlight on your panels in order to produce electricity, but these panels are more advanced and can be expensive to buy.
For people living in areas that have moderate to good sunlight per day, you can take advantage of building your own solar energy panel and generate free energy for your home quickly and easily. Residential solar panels are both easy to build and very easy to install. If you live in an area that does get a lot of sunlight, then your roof is going to be the ideal location to put your panels. The very best location is on the south facing roof at an angle of 30%. This is of course if you are living in the Northern hemisphere.
So how expensive are panels to build?
When considering the costs of building your own panels always take into account your learning process and any other hidden costs. Although it is advertised that you can build solar power panels for around $100, this is only if you already have a variety of different tools at your disposal and you have already bought your instruction manual and are not including this in the price.
Here are a list of the costs you will have.
o Instruction Manual or learning material = around $50
o Components = around $150
o Tools such as paint brushes = around $20
o Soldering kit = around $20
o Electric Drill = around $15 (optional)
