Here you’ll learn how to make your own solar panels in under 2 days and under 2 benjamins. Take a gander at the tools and supplied I used.:

New or Used Solar Cells
Lumber for support
Plexiglass made of plastic
Screws from a jar that I keep of old screws
This one I had to buy: Silicone Caulk
Wire
Diode to use on the actual sola cells itself
Paint for the wood if you want to, only for aesthethic purposes.
Something you need to plug into the solar panels called a Jones Plug

Knowing how to make your own solar panels is really empowering and helps you save money. If everyone had one of these solar panels, the world would be in much better shape. If you think that you don’t have enough technical knowledge, let me tell you that my 12-year old son built one by himself (of course with my supervision).You don’t need to have any special kind of experience to build solar panels. My son is 14 years old and he made one all by myself. I stood by and made sure everything was ok and made sure he knew what he was doing.

You’ll need instructions on how to make your own solar panels and also the things I put in the list. You can get most of these items for cheap and some of them even for free. Manufacturing companies have standards on which they can sell their products. There happens to be errors in manufacturing which makes the materials not sellable, but still usable. Some of these items that can be gotten for free include solar cells, plexi-glass and wiring.

I couldn’t have done it without the help of Power4 Home to make my solar panels. If I can do it and make solar panels, then surely you can too!

I personally thank you for checking out my guide on how I built a solar panel from scratch. I wish you the best of luck with your green solar panel endeavors. Leave a smaller carbon footprint for the generations to come.
