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.
There is a website called instructables.com. They have a phone app too. You can fond some cool DIY things on there.

“I really hate people who build panels, but then do not show them producing any electricity. give us some actual measurements. Prove to us that you’re not just jerking our chain. Hell, you went to all that trouble, put a voltage meter on the thing! show us the result of your work. Otherwise, you just wasted 30 minutes of our lives.”

truth and action. by posting only half of a project you do the readers a serious injustice. Homemade panels need to be tested, and the risks need to be stated to reinforce the danger of a product that produces pure electrical Current.
Mixing different solar cells is a bad idea. A solar panel’s output is determined by the lowest, poorest performing cel in the bunch. Trying to save money by purchasing cheaper cells? The worst performing solar cell only dumbs down the better performing ones.
the amount of electricity that you get from sunlight is not that much.if you buy your solar cells off of the internet, You might expect to get somewhere in the range of 10 to 13% efficiency. All the rest is heat-directly radiated from the underside of the panel that could reach up to 185 degrees.
Educate. Be smart. Be safe. Show your panels actually doing some work. That is what this article is all about, right? Cheap and easy energy?

On my to-do list.
Truth and Action the site you just posted doesn’t give us the facts we need.
