Information on making solar panels?
I want to get definate instructions on how to make the components and convert my home to solar energy. I know I could hire some one to do this, but frankly I do not have the funds at my disposal to do it. I thought if I could find detailed instuctions I could slowly do it myself (with my husband's help). I have looked into loans for this purpose to no avail. Finding the information on the net could take forever! If anyone knows a site that would give me the information or even a hint on how to start? Any help will be appreciated, but if you have any good links to good information please share them with me..Thanks
I doubt that you are going to want to learn how to dope your own silicon wafers, add contacts and laminate them into PV panels. I also doubt that you're going to even want the various chemicals to make e.g. cadmium-based cells anywhere near your house (cadmium is a very toxic metal). In other words, making your own solar panels is not an at-home project.
You can buy solar panels based on cells of several different types. A link to a Pricewatch-like website for current prices on solar panels is below. Mounting panels to roofs or pole mounts, running conduit and wires, and installing battery banks and inverters are within the capabilities of skilled laypeople.
More data at the links.

making your own home solar power panels?
I am confused over this issue.
There are multiple companies selling information on how to make them for cheap, but I do not know which one is the best.
I hear mixed reviews some saying these homemade ones are just as good as the professional and others saying they will not produce the same power or will break easy or not be legal to hook to the grid and other various things.
I also am not sure if you really can make them for cheap because I think you might still need to buy energy converters or other ect.
So I hope someone here can give me an objective answers from real knowledge or experience and give reasons and not just answers so that I can see for myself thanks!!!
Well if you are doing a direct comparison (i.e. power output per panel), homemade solar panels are not as good as professional one's, the materials used to make the panels themselves absorb much more energy over its surface area in a professionally made panel.
Having said that you can get good benefits from home made solar panels, once you have made one you only need to make another to increase the amount of power produced. The home made solar panel is allot cheaper to purchase, you could make 20 home made panels for the price of one production panel.
as for converters / storage, the DIY guides around the place show you how to assemble / source them cheaply
There is a review on the following site http://solarpowerdiy.info/
My hubby is a DIY nut and he has assembled and implemented two of these now, we use the energy produced more to supplement our power usage, he estimates we will save around 40% (we are pretty conservative with our energy usage though)
When you ask, will they break easy, that probably is more dependant on the workmanship of the handyman putting it together.
hope that helps
