HOME-MADE SOLAR PANELS

Home-made solar panels may work, but it is my understanding that one needs quite a few of them before being able to make much of a dent in the old electric bill! I happen to live on a shady lot, and I'm not sure it would work for me. I'm interested in building a few, more as an experiment than anything, to see what I can learn, and to decide if it will work for me.

I talked to an electrician friend, who knows how to hook up the commercial solar panels, which I'd probably use, and he said I'd need to be able to have them provide lots of amps and such, to power things like my heat pump\cooling system and my hot water heater. I'm still learning, so I'm open to suggestions.

There's a LOT of information on the Internet about solar systems and other "energy-saving" systems, and it looks like some of them are scams. Most want to sell an E-Book of instructions, which may be too technical for many people. I understand simple wiring, and I think I could rig up something to power a few lights, maybe as an emergency situation when the electricity goes off, which it does a LOT around here! But I'd need an electrician with meters and knowledge, to be able to power the whole house! That's why I think a lot of the information being sold, is way over the heads of most people!

I'm sure the authors of these E-Books had good intentions, but they, like many people who fool with computers, assume that everyone understands all the technical goobldy-gook, which they don't! They probably don't intend to get themselves into a scam situation, but they find themselves being accused of being a scammer, primarily because the buyer doesn't understand the technical terminology! It's still a "buyer beware" market, however!

I'd like to find a ready-made solar panel situation, where somebody comes out and installs it and all I have to do is pay for it. Problem is that most of these are WAY UP INTO THE THOUSANDS OF $$$, and it would take too long to amortize it over my lifetime or the lifetime of a house. As with other electronic items, perhaps it'll come down in price in the future! If we can keep the government and the big companies out of it, it probably will!
