Making Your Own Solar Panels is Now More Affordable Than Ever

Oct. 13, 2009 - PRLog -- Although new solar cells still cost a shiny penny, making your own solar panels using older or used solar cells is much more affordable and in most cases they work just as well as brand new cells.

Used cells can mainly be found on auction websites like Ebay, you may even be able to find some on Craigslist. Once you have a few solar cells it's just a matter of putting together a homemade panel, putting the cells inside and finding a good spot to collect sun light.

To make your own solar panel you're also going to need a storage battery for all of the energy. This is like a car battery but different, don't go out and try to buy a car battery and think its going to work.

As you can see, the entire process of making your own solar panel really isn't as difficult as some may have first thought... It's just a matter of getting the right materials together and getting your hands on some good solar panel plans.

Alternative energy is the wave of the future; countries around the world are using both wind and solar power to save electricity and help our planet in the process. Even if you're not a planetarian yourself, using solar power can save you tons of money so that in itself is all the better reason to start using green energy.

So now you know that no matter what your budget, you can help the environment and save on your utility bills... You no longer need thousands of dollar to build a solar panel; today it can be done for less than a couple hundred. The solar panel will pay for itself within a few months.
