Solar industry veteran Bret Parker has introduced his e-book on ways to utilize solar energy and construct cost-effective solar panels for residential purposes, collating years of experience in the solar industry.
Generally, professionally built and set up solar panels can be expensive, leaving many homeowners not able to make such an investment. This has led many environmental enthusiasts and homeowners scout for cost-effective ways of harnessing sun’s energy and also to construct their own solar panels.
Before venturing into the making of solar panels, certain solar panel basics need to be understood by homeowners: an average home utilizes 30 kWh of electrical energy every day; plan on requiring 2,000 W due to the unstable sunlight exposure on the panels throughout the day; the air conditioner requires around 33% of the total electricity produced for its operation; an inverter is required for attaining alternating current from direct current; a controller is required for avoiding overcharging of batteries; and deep cycle batteries are required for storing electricity for use during night time.
Make-a-solar-panel.com offers instructional videos and guides on: ways to select cost-effective solar cells; the number of solar cells required for a home; comprehensive instructions and drawings; places where low-cost batteries can be procured; and the required wind speed for using a wind turbine.
The solar manuals of Bret provide energy saving solutions to: build solar panels; construct solar generators; produce solar power; construct wind energy generators; and construct power efficient wind mills.
