Solar cells convert the energy of the sun into electricity.
How do you make a solar panel.
To make a solar cell you ll need 2 glass plates transparent tape and a titanium dioxide solution.
In this video project i am making small solar panel that i will use in my next big project hackbox.
If you want to harness the sun and get relatively cheap energy making a solar panel for small scale projects is an easy venture.
For making this solar panel you will need 10 solar cells.
By using items commonly found in the home or your local hardware store you can make a solar panel to demonstrate this photoelectric effect.
When you build your own lights charger or toy they tend to be brighter and more efficient than those you can buy online and stick in the ground to soak up the sun.
The other plate should be coated with carbon.
You made your first functional solar panel system and now you can take it outside to see what it s generating.
Jinkosolar is a chinese solar company that produces solar panels.
So i saved a large portion by building my own solar system since a commercial solar panel would have cost 400 on up for just the solar panel itself.
What s even better is that you ll save money on you electric bill.
Just make sure your ammeter bears the solar cells nominal power 108w at 12v means 9 amps.
You first have to measure the voltage and then the short circuit amperage.
First you ll need to clean both plates with alcohol.
The company is changing its method of production creating panels that operate at higher efficiency rates which can be sold for more.
