Advantages of Solar Power

Many households are considering of converting their home energy to be solar powered for the purpose of cutting down their electricity bills while saving our planet with this environmental friendly power source.

Advantages of Solar Power
  • Solar power is a renewable source generated from the sun, meaning that the solar energy source is never going to finish. So, we do not need to worry about we may jeopardy of the energy source if you over use it.
    • Solar power is environmental friendly energy source. Unlike oil, the use of solar energy will never causes green house effects or emits carcinogens into the air and causes the air pollution.
      • The sun is FREE. Unlike the traditional energy source which you need to pay more if you use more, there is not limit on how much you can use the energy generated from solar power, and you do not need to think of the electricity cost when you use a solar-powered energy generator, because the sun is FOC (Free of Charge).
        • Little maintenance cost on solar power system. Solar cells can last for a lifetime and because there are no moving parts, it needs very little maintenance. You do not really need to allocate significant budget for it maintenance cost.

          Top Tips for Learning How to Build Solar Panels

          So,  now that you have decided to learn how to make solar panels, what kinds of things do you need to get and where do you need to install them once they have been constructed?

          Your geographic location will dictate where you have to direct the panels to capture the maximum power. General rule here is if you live in the northern hemisphere, aim it south, and if you live in the southern hemisphere, aim it north.

          Once you have that information you are ready to learn the details of how to build solar panels and to do that you will need these basic things. Saw for cutting, soldering iron gun, paint brush, rosin flux pen, wire cutters, screwdriver, caulking gun, volt meter, plexiglass cutters, drill, plywood sheeting, plexiglass, tin wire, solder, silicon caulk, UV-ray protective varnish and solar cells (microcrystal cells usually cost around $2 a piece).

          While the whole process of exactly how to make solar panels is a bit more involved than we can actually address in a small article such as this, the key idea is that you need to construct a frame out of plywood and plexiglass to house your solar power panels and they need to be wired together in this enclosure. The entire unit once done will collect the energy from the sun and send it through each panel as it is collected and then out the end cable.

          While you learn how to build solar panels you will see that you need a way to store that energy. This is usually a form of rechargeable battery. That stored up power is then sent to device, which converts what you have stored up into 120-volt power, which can then be used to power up things within the house.

          As you work on exactly how to make solar panels you will see that it takes a lot of these devices to be able to become free from the utility company. You will need to do some work on setting up a grid system inside the dwelling that will allow you to easily switch from one to the other and to put several of these large panels together to run more things.[Read More]
