DIY Solar Panels

http://www.SolarEnergyGuide.net – Build a Homemade Solar Water Heater Quickly and Easily With Solar Hot Water Kits
Did you ever want to construct a solar water heater? Luckily there are kits and plans that can help you start building your water heater that runs on solar power. With the advancement of technology, you can now build water heater powered by the sun, an idea once thought impossible. Building a heater that runs on natural energy can be beneficial both to the environment and to your wallet. The prices of gas and electric bills have steadily risen, and people are starting to try find ways to reduce the prices of their utilities. The prices of heating bills and gas bills vary anywhere from $20 for small apartments to $100s and even $1000s for larger structures such as homes and buildings.

When building a solar water heater, there are a couple of parts that you will need. One of the most complex and crucial parts is the solar panel. The solar panel is complex because it changes the energy of the sun into electrical power. Without there will be no power to heat the water. Solar panels can be bought in stores or ordered online. The prices online will mostly be the cheaper of the two. If you are on a very tight budget and are mechanically inclined, you can try to construct your own solar panel. This a rather complicated process and I would not recommend anyone doing unless they have a guide or solar hot water kits.

There are some smaller things you will need such as metal pipes and wires. However I recommend getting a book, guide, or blueprint that can help you build a homemade solar water heater.

This just hit me this morning … yeah, I’m a bit slow. Anyone who has attended one of those MLM lectures at the local auditorium have observed that the FIRST question from the speakers mouth is something like: "What are your dreams … Imagine them … Do you have them firmly fixed in your mind? … Can you see that new car, new home, speedboat, the water skis? … NOW, imagine you are driving your new car in the mountains near Milano, Italy … a quick performance check since it will soon be on a boat heading for home. Feel the g-forces in the turns, the wind blowing thru your hair, the smell of leather seats and a polished wooden dash, and the power of a rocket ship … can you feel the skin on your face pressing back as you accelerate to incredible speeds, far more than ever before?" TWO … it is necessary to employ extreme emotional need and a physical verbal request, emploring the Universe or some MLM Corp to grant your wishes, needs, and desires. THIRD: Thanking the "Powers" for our opulence and declaring the entire manifestation process concluded either by pulling out your checkbook for the "Intro-Kit" or saying "Amen" … or "It is Done" … or as Jean Luc on StarTrek loved to say "Make it so".

Strangely, or perhaps NOT so strange, is that old alchemical experiments, such as done by Leonardo DaVinci, employed the same 3 points, 1)Create a thought, experiment, or plans of something to introduce into Reality. 2) Imagine in one’s mind the actual use of such an item and the personal employment of same. 3) KNOW that it is now existing in reality and thank the Powers for granting your request.

Even the Bible goes into depth when Jesus remarks "Ask in My Name and it shall be given you".

I might venture further and suggest that even the Wicca, or Pagans, or Sumerians, or Christians, or Modern Day Positive Thinkers like that Tony guy, ALL employ the same three points. If we were to look into the Masonic directives, secrets of the Skulls, beliefs of the Rosicrucians, we will most surely find the same principles of manifestation.

Sources: http://askthedragon.org 1/2 way down on the Main Page is a section on Alchemy that employs these 3 Stages as well. Further investigation will reveal more.

I ask this in the R&S section to employ all of your excellent minds. I fear that in other sections people will give me a Republican Response "that’s ridiculous and no fool would EVER believe that", but then they NEVER surrender PROOF of their esteemed belief, At least here in R&S you will entertain the logic of the posit … or deny it in accordance with your beliefs that overrule and hopefully site references as to why your believe contrarily.

What say you?

You have some rather broad categories there, and I suspect there are some witches who will take issue. Nevertheless, I agree with the basic idea. I don’t grant credibility where it is not due, mind you. But the idea that one can make things manifest via will seems to be in common, depending on the specific schools of thought you are comparing.

Hi, We have a cabin which is approx. 1,000 sq ft with approx. 500 sq ft of workable roof space (according to astrum) The system we could able to get would produce approx. 5-6 kw of energy for our home. Does this estimate sound accurate? I don’t really have an issue because i realize it is just an estimate – But i can’t afford this amount of money for a solar system. Does anyone have information about companies the will lease solar panel systems in Pennsylvania? Or maybe some information on DIY solar panel kits? Actually any information on how a may be able to afford solar power would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

Cool question!

First, I am assuming you are off the grid, in other words the cabin has no connection to the power grid. A grid connected system is going to require the technical assistance of this company and you will be prey to any costs that they want to charge.

The good news is that you can tell Atrum Solar that you only want 100 watts of solar power on the roof and federal regulations allow you to expand its capacity at your own pace. Make sure you tell them that you want the system to have the ability to handle at least 2000 watts of solar power in the future so you can expand as much as you want without buying more equipment.

Second, I encourage you to build your own solar system in the interim. Total cost will be less than $1,000 and you can power a television along with some lights with no problem at all. The solar panels you buy can be connected to the system that you eventually purchase.

The biggest gain from building your own solar system or DIY is that you will understand the costs of the technology and can fight back against over priced estimates. Here are some of my articles on this subject:

I am not paid by any solar company or electric utility for my advice. I am doing this to advance the knowledge of solar power.

No. Not anymore danger than that of the entire house.

I have 2 small (2"x4") solar panels and I need to find the simplest way to use them to charge an ipod without using any batteries. I thought about just connecting them to a female usb connector but I remembered ipods dont work with generic chargers. any ideas?

You need to find out what is the needed charging voltage for your ipod….
and then you need to find out if you can get the sort of voltage out of the small solar panels that you have. If you can get the voltage from your solar panels, that is good but then another requirement is the current, if the panels will not supply enough current to charge your ipod, that will be a problem.
Do you have any output rating info on those panels?

Part 2 is now done and covers power generation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24LSnATIZhw

Harness the wind for less than $100.

DIY vertical wind turbine of the Savonius style.

Notable is that this cost less than $100 in materials so far and that the largest part of this turbine is recycled materials (the PVC drums previously held Balsamic Vinegar from Italy).

Also, this turns well in a very light wind.

Axle: 3 inch PVC piping from Home Depot
Bearings: 5 inch lazy suzan from Lowes.

Part 2 will cover power generation and connection to the battery bank.
