How To Build Solar Panels

My panels are approx. 2′x4′, so you would need 80 sf for 10.

Do you have to take some course that certifies you to build solar panels or work in a factory that builds solar panels? Can you please fill me in on the information or send me a link to the complete info? Thanks
Thanks Stephen M and Oliver for that information it helped. But I was also wondering what courses I would need to take or whatever if I wanted to install them or work in semiconductor production.

Also what exactly is the pre-installation engineering work? Is it like what an electrician does?

What exactly do you want to do?

Do you want to install them? Do you want to do the pre installation engineering work? Do you want to work in semiconductor production?

You have not provided enough information as to what you are really wanting to do to allow your question to be answered.

If you just want to be an installer, I imagine just on the job training is required, but it would also pay the least.

>what courses I would need to take or whatever if I wanted to install them or work in semiconductor production.

Again, if you just want to be an installer, then on the job training may well be all you need.

If you want to work in semiconductor production, then your training could consist of getting an engineering degree of some sort (electrical, chemical, etc).

>Also what exactly is the pre-installation engineering work? Is it like what an electrician does?<

It could be, though it wasn’t what I thought of when I wrote it.

Before the solar system was installed on my home, a mechanical engineer had to look at the homes structure and determine that it was capable of holding the solar panels.

Then they took that information and a set of blue prints were generated by someone working on a CAD drawing system. They put all the info required by the local utility, the building inspectors and the installers onto the drawing and that is what all these people worked to while doing the install.

Now as far as the engineering side… there are engineers who are working to find cheaper materials or materials that more efficently convert light to engergy.

Yes, an electrician is also a very important person in the big picture too.

I see lots of people around here aim far to low as far as their career goals. I would hope you would go to school and take lots of science and math classes and aim for some of the higher paid engineering jobs.

Yes it is, for water heating.

Solar electric is also possible, but you would have to start with manufactured cells. It could be a fun project, but don’t expect to save money this way. Home built panels are illegal to connect to the grid, and generally would not stand up to repeated sun and rain. A panel that lasts only 5 years in the elements should theoretically be worth only 1/5 the price of one that is guaranteed for 25 years.

Keeping this in mind, you could look at instructables.com for ideas. No need to pay anyone for plans.

Just wonderin? Thinking of going all solar!

40,000 will get a smaller home off grid if you’re frugal. So, "not so frugal" + big house? I’d have to estimate around 100,000. You might want to put in some wind turbines too, so you can generate electricity at night, and on stormy days. And make sure you cut a deal with the local power company, so you can sell your excess, or buy a big storage system.

Well theres a couple of people on my street having solar panels installed on to their buildings and i went further into this and found out that there quite expensive so i was wondering how could i build one my self ? cheapest way possible please.

you can buy the cells and assemble on a flat frame yourself..
I spent 200$…and hooked up inverters with a deep cell battery bank….
I now have the electric company pay me.
Take that you Public Utility.!!!!!

http://snurl.com/freeelectric Thank you, thank you… thank you!! I have to be honest, I had my doubts about this product, but I decided to take the bait, worked perfectly well, I think you really might be on to something with this technology. I wonder why isn't everyone using this?
