Make Selfmade Solar panels

How much energy can can be produced by a

a selfmade solar panel ?

Years of overheating  canreduce the operation efficiency of your home made solar panels. Solar cells become less efficient over time, and excess energy is released into its thermally conductive substrate as infrared heat.

The amount of power that solar panels produce is influenced by the quality of the solar panel, the materials and technology used in making the solar panel, and the amount of time the solar panel has been in use. When purchasing solar panels, it is therefore wise to look beyond size and look at the dollars/watt ratio.

In direct sunlight at the surface of the equator, a cell of about 1/5m creates an amount of  2 amps at 2 volts, due to the Earth's atmospheric interference, terran solar panels will normaly not perform as well as solar panels exposed directly to the sun's rays.

Solar Panels For Your Home

Are you considering installing solar panels for your home or business? Solar panels can be a great investment that not only saves you money and increases the value of your property, but also helps the environment while it's helping your wallet and bank account.

Solar power is fast becoming price competitive with conventional energy sources, and in states like California, New Jersey, Arizona, Colorado, and more, there are great rebates and incentives in place to compensate you for the power you produce and help offset your initial investment cost. There are also an expanding number of solar financing options and in many cases you can get solar panels installed on your home and be cash flow positive on your investment within the first year!

As the solar industry has grown and matured over the last decade, the cost to put solar panels on your home have decreased significantly, dropping over 40% in just the last few years. There's never been a better time to make the move to solar for renewable clean energy for your home or business. The section below describes what you need to consider as to determine whether solar is the right choice for you.

Energy Efficiency of Your Home

Have you made the low cost, easy to implement changes that can reduce your energy bill before you replace your utility company with a clean, renewable solar panel system? Taking simple steps like switching to CFL light bulbs, energy star appliances, using smart power strips that turn off electronics when not in use, and making sure your windows, door, and insulation are keeping your energy inside can make a huge difference in your energy usage. It's called Demand Management. If you haven't made these changes yet, there are professionals who conduct energy audits on your home, and can show you how to cut down your costs.

Your Home's Roof

Does your home have unobstructed south facing roof space? That's the ideal setting for solar panels, but often times an east-west roof with good exposure, or even a ground mounted system if you have an unobstructed area can work just as well. You'll just want to make sure there isn't any shading at any point of the day on the surface you intend to install solar panels on, because it can reduce the effectiveness of your system.

Is there research or products for solar power to lighting?

We've heard CFL or other ways a light bulb can maximize its effeciency with least energy.

We've also heard solar panels improving on harnessing sun light.

BUT, are there products that directly harness solar power for the sole purpose of using the power for lighting?
(collect light during day, make light during night)

spam links will be reported.
flourescent materials? sounds fun, but how long do they last?

Hybrid Solar Lighting is one technology that is used for direct solar lighting, it does not store the light but uses fiber optics to distribute the natural sunlight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ5MiLqb5VE
