In the event of making the solar panels most of the commonly available guidelines and resources make it more complicated than it actually is.

In fact, the process is not as difficult as you think to make your own solar panels. It becomes difficult only there where one starts making it without a clear knowledge of what is needed and how they are to be used to make solar panels.

I will give you a brief overview and show you how simple the process is:

1. Firstly, you have to make it clear in your mind that whether you are at all interested to create a solar panel of your own because they are easily obtainable from your neighbors or from hardware shops or even from the highway patrol. Therefore, make sure that you actually need to create your own solar panels first.

2. If you want to do it anyway, here’s the quick-start guide:

First of all, you might be enthusiastic to replace your electric bills with your own DIY solar panels; but my suggestion to you is that don’t venture this at your first project.

Start small, and take small steps until you move up to larger projects. Start with a 50-cell panel first (relatively small) and see how that goes – and whether or not you really want to build more solar panels by yourself.

The process of setting up your first solar panel “experiment” is given below:

To begin with, get the needed supplies together. You need 40 or 50 solar cells, which can probably be obtained on Ebay, some plywood (You can have it precut if necessary.)You also need solder, a rosin flux pen, and tabbing wire.

Next, place the solar cells in series, face-down, and drop a small amount of solder on each tab, one-by-one.

Next, wire together all the cells so that the wire goes from the back of one cell to the front of the next cell (you connect the tabbed parts on each one). This is the most tedious part of the whole process.

Then, each individual row is required to be connected in parallel and then you have to fix the cells to the plywood with silicone.

And in the end, at the bottom of the plywood, drill holes to pass the positive and negative wires from the solar cells. These wires are then to be connected to the inverter at first and then to the power box on your house.

If you’re uncertain about how to connect everything at the end, call the electrician or the power company for assistance – better safe than sorry.

This is a very quick overview, but you get the basic idea from this article. Making your own solar panels is not difficult; the most tedious part of this whole process is wiring the solar cells together, and youll get better at it each time you do it.
