How To? Learn anything step by step!

A revolutionary change is sweeping across the world and the U. S. As more and more people are generating energy naturally than through carbon generating methods. You too can learn how to build solar panels in your own home as an experiment to see how this renewable source of energy can cut down expenditure.

You will need half a square foot of copper flashing sheet, an electric hot plate, a bottle with a big opening, a receptive micro-ammeter, some table spoons of salt, water, sand paper, metallic shears and two alligator clip leads.

To begin with, clean your hands and wipe dry. Cut the copper sheeting to the diameter of the stove. Then, clean the copper sheet using soap to take away oil that might have accumulated on it. Wipe the sheet well with the sand paper.

First thing, wash hands to keep clean and dry. Cut a piece of the copper sheeting to the size of the diameter of the electric stove. Now, wash copper sheet with soap to rid it of any oil. With sand paper, clean the sheet really well.

After this, place copper sheet on stove again and turn on stove to highest heating setting. What you want is for the sheet to turn orange, red, purple or pink; then as the stove heats more, the color from the sheet vanishes and soon, the sheet will darken. It needs to be COOKED for a half hour.

As soon as it cools down entirely, it should be held under a tap of running water to allow the flakes to fall off. This has to be done with ease and a gentle touch so as not to hurt the SOLAR PANEL.

Run water over it from a running tap after it cools down. This will wash off the flakes but ensure you do this really gently and do not erode this SOLAR PANEL created by you.

Clip on the alligator leads. The new, fresh sheet must be connected to the positive part of the meter while the roasted one should be joined to the negative side.

Now, attach the leads. The second sheet should be wired to the positive area of the meter and the first one must be clipped to the negative one. In hot water, put in a good number of tablespoons of salt and mix thoroughly. This concoction has to be poured into the bottle ensuring that the sheets are not submerged up to an inch from top. This is your home manufactured solar panel!

The cell produces 50 micro amps at 0.25 volts. Do not expect to light bulbs to light or charge batteries with this device. It can be used as a light detector or light meter and it would take acres of them to power your house which would be very expensive.
