Why build your own low-cost solar panels?
We all like to be self-sufficient. After all, who knows what tomorrow may bring?
When the power goes out it’s great to have alternative ways to get jobs done, but there are always some tasks that are simpler, easier, and even safer with electricity!
This video shows you the easy steps and simple tools that anyone can use to get up and running with their own solar panels and like the man says, the more of them you build, the easier they get.
So keep your low-power and no-power plans at the ready for a blackout, but why not prep some panels, too, just in case?
Don’t forget to share this article with friends so they can build panels, too.

low cost is OK, but the solar cell efficiency is also important…
In places with a high inflation rate, the cost is key. Something is better than nothing. Mexico just switched to a silver standard, but has an incredible inflation rate. Russia retook their gold so their currency is at least backed up now. But their inflation rate is 4 times what the US is. That’s why the low cost is so good.
Deanie, see if you can get Joe started on something like this! Wind, solar, & hydro….. That should suffice to cover the “basis”. Lol
I thought about it but figured I would leave my pannels to the professional. However I did build my own power box.
Home made panel rack from re purposed dry erase board frame.
Thought I would share.
This is great, however the problem lies with the grid tie in, let alone the initial cost of storage batteries.
The problem with the grid tie in is many electrical companies require a UL Listing on the solar panels. This certifies the panel were built to a standard. This applies only to people or households that want the convenience of a power company for night time and extended cloudy days.
