how to make solar panels and the things needed to create it?
saving money is very difficult to do.. electricity bills are getting higher and higher..i need some alternatives..please help
If you think money is tight right now, try installing a solar replacement system!
There are alternatives. Newer light bulbs, the mercury kind, last longer, throw off more light, and use far less wattage.
They are a good analogy for anything in the arena, just now. You CAN do it cheaper (over say, twenty years) if you invest heavily — like about ten years worth of staying the same –up front.
Solar panels can’t efficiently be made at home. You’ll need to buy them. Unless you learn how to wire them up, you’ll need to hire someone to install them.
Where are you going to put them? Odds are, your roof’s surface area is insufficient to generate enough power to run things at 120 volts. You will only be able to put them on the ’sunny’ side, in any event. (There went half your surface area!)
In the Northern hemisphere, that’s the south-facing sides.
To bolster the panels on the roof (assuming your roof can hold the weight load, plus a load of winter snow), you’ll need some land with a clear view of the sun, to mount more panels.
The panels produce DC, so you’ll need a load of deep discharge batteries, an inverter to switch the current to AC,, and switching equipment to keep things from frying. (and to ’sell’ excess current back to the power company’s grid). The power companies negotiated a contract with the government to allow that –, at buy prices set by the power companies. (A great deal — for them!)
There is an alternative for most things — look at building a 12 volt DC system, instead. The RV and camping world is bristling with ‘away from home’ devices that work on a 12v DC supply. Such a setup would put the average roof within range of the requirements. Again, the initial cost is a bear – you’ll now have to re-wire your house for 12volts!
Still, for a small house — or, even for circuit areas isolated to one portion of the roof…
You will need to calculate your daily electrical usage and then fudge it up for any expected increases over the life of the project — say, twenty years.
