			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/S9OfBNNNMutwkNrxPn6hmX4TuWU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/S9OfBNNNMutwkNrxPn6hmX4TuWU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/><br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/S9OfBNNNMutwkNrxPn6hmX4TuWU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/S9OfBNNNMutwkNrxPn6hmX4TuWU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>
<p>When talking about solar panels, we first need to know what is exactly the <strong>cost of a solar panel</strong> and whether the cost is of a pre-made solar panel or a self built one. Let’s examine the cost of the various solar panels.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 0px;" src="http://www.solarpowerwindenergy.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/solar_panels_.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="411" height="329" /></p>
<p>When you decide to get solar energy usage at your place, you have to decide what type of solar panel would you want. A self made solar panel or a commercial, pre-made one. For the ones that are ready made and just have to be placed and install will cost you around<strong> $900 or $12/watt</strong>. Again it also depends on the size of a place where the solar system would be installed. If you have a medium sized area, then the cost might range up to<strong> $25,000</strong> and for a large house may cost $50,000. Installing a system would be costing around<strong> $7-9 per watt.</strong></p>
<p>Now that the cost of getting ready made solar panels are reasonably high, one might need to learn the art of making solar panels at home.</p>
<p><span id="more-3368"></span> Not on a large scale, but small enough to bring you some benefits. A self made solar panel could cost around<strong> $200.</strong> To learn how to do this, you will have to log on to special online sites that give tutorials on how to make a solar panel at home.</p>
<p>The next important factor to calculate solar panel cost is to determine the usage that will be needed in the house. You need to know whether it is to be used for electricity, heating or water systems and also the position of the house towards the sun. Is there enough sunlight to be able to conserve that much amount of energy or should extra measurements be taken to enhance the storage of solar energy. All these factors contribute in the cost calculation.</p>
<p>There is a short and effective way to determine the electricity cost if solar panel is used for the purpose. See the monthly bill and calculate the<strong> KWH (kilowatt hours</strong>) that is used for that specific month. Multiply that amount by 1000 to get the Watt of electricity. Dividing the number by <strong>30 will give the average use.</strong> At the end of it divide that number by the number of sunlight hours per day and you will get the average solar electrical energy that should be required.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During these hard economic times and rising costs of commercially sold electricity the need to learn <a target="_blank" href='http://www.a1articles.com/article_1193401_45.html' target='_blank'>how to make a solar panel</a> is increasing day by day. Each and every day thousands of homes get solar panels installed on them and do it yourself (DIY) solar panel is certainly becoming a way of life for many to fulfill their energy needs. However, a lot of individuals are left scratching their heads when it comes to generating solar power as they just keep on wondering how to make a solar panel?</p>
<p>Many people will argue against solar power stating, why we need to go through all the hassles to generate solar power or <a target="_blank" href='http://www.a1articles.com/article_1193401_45.html' target='_blank'>learn how to make a solar panel</a> since electricity sold by utility companies is in abundance. Well, this sort of thinking only shows our ignorance to the state of affairs and the lack of concern for our environment. Most of the commercially sold electricity produced today is generated by burning fossil fuels, a non-renewable source of energy, once finished it will be gone forever. Also, burning of fossil fuels produce toxic gases that are depleting ozone present in the atmosphere and due to the looming fears of global warming and rising sea levels the life present on earth is being pushed on to the verge of extinction. </p>
<p>When it comes to solar power and learning how to make a solar panel, everyone needs to be educated. Gone are the days when solar power was expensive and too technical to generate. Now, with the advancement in the field of technology its possible to make solar panel for a very small and affordable investment and with the help of a good DIY manual almost everyone can easily learn how to make a solar panel in the comfort of their homes. </p>
<p>
What You Should Learn…………………</p>
<p>You may be aware that a solar panel sold in the market has its worth in thousands of dollars and is way beyond the reach of a common man to afford without breaking the bank. But, did you know the same solar panel with a better energy efficiency can be made very easily for less than $200? Every penny you put in to learn and make your own solar panel is recovered pretty quickly as you can drastically slash your future electric bills after installing a solar panel.</p>
<p>Now…How To Make A Solar Panel </p>
<p>The basic unit of solar panels is a tiny solar cell, better known as the photovoltaic cell (PV cell). This cell is pretty cheap and can be easily found on abundance on websites such as eBay for as little as $1 per cell. But, its imperative to do a bit of research before buying as the market is full of below standard photovoltaic cells.</p>
<p>Go ahead learn how to make a solar panel and the next time there is a power cut in your block, sit back…. Relax and enjoy the power generated from the freely available – Sunlight! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The need to make a solar panel is increasing day by day as we are heading towards hard economic times. Very day thousands residential solar panels are being installed and DIY solar panel is certainly becoming a way of life for many to fulfill their energy requirements. But, many simply don’t have a clue when it comes to renewable energy and keep on wondering <a target="_blank" href='http://www.articlesbase.com/diy-articles/how-to-make-a-solar-panellearn-how-to-make-a-solar-panel-1376946.html' target='_blank'>how to make a solar panel</a>? </p>
<p>A very widespread myth doing rounds in the society today is that the solar power is expensive and too technical for a common man to generate. Contrary to the popular belief solar power is neither technical nor costly. In fact, learning how to make a solar panel and actually building one on your own will not take more than half a weekend and you can solar power your entire your home for a very small and affordable investment and in turn save hundreds and thousands of dollars over the years on electricity. A solar panel once installed has an average life span of more than 25 years. So you do the math here and calculate how much you are set to save should you go solar. Talk of living off grid!</p>
<p>Before starting out what you need to know…………………</p>
<p>Solar panels are harmless to the environment when compared to other forms of energy that are produced by burning fossil fuels, a key contributor to all the green house gases present in the atmosphere. That are virtually pushing the life on our planet on the verge of extinction due to looming fears of global warming, rising sea levels…. Etc….</p>
<p>Commercially sold solar panels cost thousands of dollars and are way too much expensive for the common man to afford. The same solar panels with a much better power efficiency can be made by you on your own for as little as $200! This cost is recovered pretty quickly as you can expect to drastically cut down on your electric bills once these solar panels are installed. </p>
<p>This eco-friendly method on generating energy will save you heaps on electric bills and not to reveal the tax credits that will be in store for you! </p>
<p>
Now…<a target="_blank" href='http://www.articlesbase.com/diy-articles/how-to-make-a-solar-panellearn-how-to-make-a-solar-panel-1376946.html' target='_blank'>Learn How To Make A Solar Panel</a> </p>
<p>The fundamental part of making a solar panel is the solar cell, also known as the photovoltaic (pv) cells. These cells are reasonably cheap and can be found online for as low as $1 per cell. However, it is very important to do your research and make sure you are buying good quality solar panels, as the market is full of reduced, low quality solar cells.</p>
<p>
Learning how to make a solar panel is no rocket science and does not require an engineering degree of any sorts, just few basic skills……for example…working with commonly used tools and wires. .</p>
<p>The best part is once solar panels are installed they will continue to provide energy for your home for more than 25 years, requiring little to no maintenance. After you learn how to make a solar panel you can surely save big bucks as you’ll be using world’s most freely available natural resource- Sunlight.</p>
