www.SolarEnergyGuide.net – Don’t Buy Solar Panels For Sale – Here’s a Better Solution For Solar Power Each month, as people receive their electric bill, many contemplate turning to solar panels to reduce this utility cost. Some people are literally paying over half the amount of their house payment to the electric company. Solar panels are an investment in your home that you should definitely consider, but when you look at the cost of solar panels for sale, you may think you can’t afford it. There is a better solution for solar power. How to Build Your Own Solar Panel A typical solar panel installed on your home will average in cost between – a watt. That means that one solar panel that produces 100 watts of electricity will run you about 0-900! While solar panels for sale are around – per watt, installation brings that price up quite quickly. It just makes good financial sense to build your own. Anyone who is rather handy and motivated can do it. The cost is about 0 and you can control the size of the panel so it fits where you have the space. Your first step should be a detailed, yet easy to understand, manual. Don’t get the first one you come across. Do a little research and if you can find one with videos, that’s even better. The building supplies are next and you may be surprised to find most of them at your local hardware store plywood, a roll of copper wire, and sheets of glass. The solar panel cells, also called photovoltaic cells, can be found at a …

bad advice!!!! ….? anything higher voltage could seriously hurt a person. …….. get some education b4 you start You tubeing vids in you pretentious Monstr tank……. stupid ~~!!!!

Better stop these kind of hazardous advices lady… What you show is making a dangerous situation in which the rechargable battery may explode right in your face. The diode will NOT secure any of your mentioned overload or whatever loading curves at? all.
Please, if you dont know what you are talking about then get some training first before you endanger other people who think you are the guru, which you are clearly not!

The diode will cause a 0.6 volt drop. I highly doubt you’re going to overcharge a battery with a little? panel like this.

solar isnt worth it either way, you need tempered glass to protect it from nature, has to be framed, lots of other expense’s will bring your homemade panel to about the same as professional one’s.. only real difference is how long they’re garanteed to last.. homemade none.
and in the end run solar is 20x more expensive then putting in a small wind turbine:-\
when cells get under 50 cents a watt they will be worth it..? but right now theyre over $1.50 :-\

@facenayl —” aligator? CLAP ” === I had that… took? a shyte load of anti-biotics to get rid of!

no? emotion

don’t buy solar panels? I? see you suggested buying the solar panels. This isn’t an alternative to solar panels, or even to buying solar panels, this is exactly that.
January 26th, 2012 at 7:09 pm
@djtron1x
she said? dont buy panels aka premade solar panels. shes telling you to buy the cells and build it yourself.
January 27th, 2012 at 5:24 am
@iseevideos123 no, that’s not what was said at all. You might be assuming that’s? the message, but that was not said in the video at all. It has nothing to do with the title.
January 29th, 2012 at 6:00 pm
@djtron1x
title said dont buy solar panels, video shows how to use? the solar cells. see the difference?
panels are premade. getting the solar cells yourself, you can make the panels to your size. although the video doesnt state the title again so if youre not reading, you get that assumption sees telling you to buy the panels.
January 30th, 2012 at 1:34 am
@iseevideos123 The title says “Here’s a better solution for solar power”. This would indicate an alternative way to make it work, rather than a typical way? it’s used. See the difference?
January 30th, 2012 at 7:11 am
@djtron1x
it indicates a better? solution from buying solar panels with buying the cheap cells and build it yourself?
January 30th, 2012 at 7:46 am
@iseevideos123 The video has nothing to do with that though. It has to do with a way to use solar cells. Period. Poor titling is all I’m saying. Can you not grasp such an easy? concept?
January 31st, 2012 at 6:16 pm
lol! DONT BUY SOLAR PANELS!!!
The first thing? you need to do is buy a solar panel….
Good effort though.
January 31st, 2012 at 7:16 pm
@djtron1x
so you’re telling me that buying solar cells and building the panels yourself is not a better solution to buying premade solar panels?
yes title is a bit off but the point is? indirectly there somewhere in that video when she tells you to go buy the cells instead lol. anyways, i think we should just drop this.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:07 pm
ummm..ok like to the red and black really? Is this chick? language?
February 1st, 2012 at 4:12 pm
@iseevideos123 You are not very bright,? I see. No, I’m not telling you that. Are you even comprehending the sentences I’m writing? Am I using too big words for you? The title is unrelated to the video. That’s all I’m saying. You just admitted I’m correct. Why did you even decide to argue about it if you knew that all along. A tip for you: don’t waste your time applying for Mensa. You won’t pass the exam.

@djtron1x
Don’t buy solar panels on sale. Instead buy solar cells and build the panels yourself. That’s the better solution? for solar power.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:09 am
@iseevideos123 I know that. Still didn’t say? it in the video. You really can’t grasp that concept?
February 4th, 2012 at 6:56 am
@djtron1x
this page consist more than just the video. how about reading the description? rather than wasting time on explanation in? the video. it goes straight into putting it together.
February 5th, 2012 at 4:30 am
@iseevideos123 I’m done with you. You just can’t comprehend a very simple? idea, and think you have to argue about it. Why do you feel you have to defend yourself so vehemently over something so stupid. It was a simple and valid complaint, you even admitted it to be so. Why not just move on and get over yourself? (These are all rhetorical questions. For those too unlearned to understand, it means no need to reply to them.)

80 watt panels are cheap enough at the moment,more like $1 per watt. The amount of grid power it takes to charge a puny little battery like this probably wont even make your meter move. There are plenty of little chargers like this around now with mutiple adaptors for charging small batteries,i-pods and the like for under $10. It doesnt make sense to build your own,unless you just like building clever stuff. In which case thats cool with? me…
February 9th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
@iseevideos123 It costs more to build your own panels. Solar panels cost around $1 per watt and they come with warranties and all the experimenting already done. If you look on ebay all? the stores are trying to outdo each other on price. I’ve covered my roof in 80 watt panels for less than $1.000 American.
