Creating Energy: How To Build Solar Panels In Your Own Home

A revolutionary change is sweeping across the world and the U

. S. As more and more people are generating energy naturally than through carbon generating methods. You too can learn how to build solar panels in your own home as an experiment to see how this renewable source of energy can cut down expenditure.

The good thing about doing this is it can be a fun exercise for an individual and of course, for the entire family as well. To get started on making your cell to harness the energy from the sun to power your home, you will need to make a visit to the hardware store.

Once there, buy half a square foot of a sheet of copper flashing, an electric stove, a large mouth bottle, glass or plastic (5 litre mineral jar), a sensitive micro-ammeter, few table spoons of table salt, tap water, sand paper or wire brush on an electric drill, metal shears and three alligator clip leads.

Next, heat stove on high and put copper sheet on it. The sheet will turn into an orange, purple, red or pink color; soon you will see these colors disappear and the sheet darkens. In this manner, the sheet should be BAKED for 30 minutes.

After this, place copper sheet on stove again and turn on stove to highest heating setting. What you want is for the sheet to turn orange, red, purple or pink; then as the stove heats more, the color from the sheet vanishes and soon, the sheet will darken. It needs to be COOKED for a half hour.

Upon completion of this process, the sheet has to be cooled off at room temperature. You will notice that it is reducing in size as it gets to a normal temperature. It is during this process one see the accumulation of the dry bits of chemicals on the sheet.

Run water over it from a running tap after it cools down. This will wash off the flakes but ensure you do this really gently and do not erode this SOLAR PANEL created by you.

Clip on the alligator leads. The new, fresh sheet must be connected to the positive part of the meter while the roasted one should be joined to the negative side.

Now, attach the leads. The second sheet should be wired to the positive area of the meter and the first one must be clipped to the negative one. In hot water, put in a good number of tablespoons of salt and mix thoroughly. This concoction has to be poured into the bottle ensuring that the sheets are not submerged up to an inch from top. This is your home manufactured solar panel!

To think it would light up bulbs and other electrical appliances would be foolish. This power box can produce only 50 micro amps at 0.25 volts. One will need hundreds of these to power an entire home which would be a major expenditure.
