During the last few years, solar technology has shown such a tremendous expansion that the new type photovoltaic cells very efficiently convert the Sun’s rays into energy. For this very reason, residential photovoltaic system has become very popular for residential uses.

By making a primary solar cell with the help of the solar kit and the utility instructions it contains, one can produce electricity in his own house without relying on outside sources. Why you are encouraged into the ` Do It Yourself ` endeavor is, that you can make your own solar cells ,assemble them in a solar panel and thus install your own solar energy system at a much lower cost, than what you would have spent for trade installations.

Be aware that the home made solar panel can compete with the best you get from a trader. For this, you have to follow the step by step written tips and video, making possible to read and watch visually. Would you not make your home made solar cells, which you can surely do yourself?

In the present world scenario, the United States is consuming 20% of world`s oil annually through import, against the 2% of the country`s own reserves, impelling continued dependence on foreign supplies. The country also needs oil to produce electricity for domestic and business purposes, besides the growing need of vehicles.

The countries like India and china dominating eastern economies now have become major oil consumers, leading to competition for the oil reserves of the world. Hence, America has to look out for other sources of energy than fossil fuels.

Just my 2 cents thought :)

Ebay sellers are the wholesalers. They buy in pallets for about .75 cents a cell and sell them for 25 to 50 cents more. They look for quantity and make money off it

Has anyone heard of the process developed at MIT for “printing” the PV cells? You can read about it here:

Hopefully this will help lower the cost of solar power.

My name is Paul Bryak & I just wanted to thank you for your very informative emails about solar power. I am just getting started & really appreciate all of the helpful information. I do have one question about solar cells, are the better manufacturers to try to use? I’m looking for dependable solar cells that will last awhile. And secondly, where do you recommend the best place to buy them is?

Thanks again for your help & have a great day!

It would be a great thing for having these cheaper solar panels. Public is longing it for a long time. Now it would be possible for them to use it because they could afford it now for having it.

Hi Jacob, as a quick reply to this. We in Ontario Canada have a government incentive which pays us 80.2c/ kw hr ( 20yr contract ). I have built 4 x 10Kw ( one on each 4 properties ) it pays on average 700$/mth. thats 2.8k/mth… the cost to build all 4 was 25k. The system paid for itself in 8mths and now its all gravy. you could live off that income :)

Yes ebay and paypal is a slime pit of illegal activity I would never trust either one.
Where can we get the real deal on cells?

Hi, Will.

I’m from Malaysia, planning to build a solar system for home but a bit confuse on the equipment combination and hope you can help me on my questions.

For example
————-
My monthly electricity usage is about 840 KWh, but I only need to setup for some small electric appliances may be 100W-200W per hour.

If I’m using
a) one unit of 20-30 watt solar panel
b) one unit 20A solar charge controllers
c) one unit 500W Inverter
d) two units 18Ah 12V Battery

Question:
———
a) Will it be enough power and battery backup during night time, or when I added more electric appliances during day / night time.
b) Malaysia is using 220-230V of electric appliances, will it reduce half of the battery backup times if I using the formula from most of the website calculations.
c) Using the 20A solar charge controllers and 500W Inverter, any problem if I change or expand to 50-90watt solar panel
d) How to match the solar panel watt with the charge controller of inverter
e) In Malaysia, do you know anywhere can source for quality solar products
f) Any problem when added up more 18Ah 12V Battery or with higher Ah battery

Thanks in advance.
