DIY Solar Panels – What In The World Are They?

What exactly are Solar Panels? We’ve all seen them at one time or another in many different places. These unique panels are basically solar cells that capture sunlight and actively turns it into electricity.

These panels installed on your home usually produce about 2 amps at 2 volts (in direct sunlight.) However, over time the solar cells of the panels start to wear down. The quality of the panels, and materials used to build them rely on how long they will last. So, when choosing solar panels, go for dollar/watt ratio rather than the size of the panel itself.

The benefits are astonishing to say the least. Its very clean and natural and will not hurt the environment in any way. You basically have an endless supply of sunlight to power your home.

Living “off grid” is easy and exciting if done correctly! If you produce more power than you consumer you’ll literally have your electric meter spinning backwards, and instead of YOU paying the power bill, the electric company itself will pay you (buying back the unused power produced by these panels.)

In order for all of this to happen, you’ll not only need the solar panels, but a Synchronous Solar Panel Inverter. The Synchronous Solar Panel Inverter is used to produce a “dynamic” between the solar cells of the panels and the power grid. It also comes in handy in case your panels become damaged, or unusable, this way you can still use the citys power.

So, producing your own electricity can be great learning experience for anyone wanting to increase their use of renewable energy sources. Go green and save a ton of money… DIY solar panels … It’s as easy as that!
