Solar Panel build out DIY 5×6 Solar cells
Check out how easy it is to build a solar panel.
In this video Im stringing 5×6 solar cells together for a total of 133 watts.
This is a simple DIY off grid project.
Check out my other solar video for more details.
All the best,

Solaro Day™ daylight system can also be used with a Night & Day Light Kit. The Solaro Day™ Night & Day Light Kit gives you the opportunity to use the light throughout the day, at night or in cloudy weather conditions. You have full control of when the system is on or off and you may select between 2 power sources, the sun or the grid. (SD-ACKIT)

Starting out at the roof level, Solaro™ has designed a line of special proprietary solar panels that collect sunlight, even on cloudy days, and convert it into safe low voltage DC power. We send that power to a Solaro Day™ daylight simulator for use inside your home or office.

The Solaro Day™ daylight simulator will create the same light that a traditional or tubular skylight creates but without the costly installation including the cutting of a large hole in your roof or ceiling. You will also be able to experience the sun up, sun down and cloud movement inside when your Solaro Day™ is powered directly by the solar panel, just as you would experience with a skylight.

The Solaro Day™ typically requires only a 1/2 inch diameter hole drilled into your roof for the interconnect cable making the installation fast and simple!

Just an update to show that even though it’s good to have a solar backup system, it can also be dangerous if adequate safeguards are not in place. I’m on my 3rd inverter after my 2000 Watt (Continuous) Pure Sine wave inverter “burned” out on me when I plugged in a 1600 Watt household iron (it was the Shark brand iron). I thought it was 1500 Watts when making the video. Anyway, you would think that a 2000 Watt inverter could handle it,,, well no it didn’t. It didn’t even trip the overload protection in the inverter. Just literally burned out.
Link to my updated system schematic is below:

This is a good option for anyone wanting to experiment with DIY solar panels but do not want to use hot solder. This works good if you have a good clean connection and you are willing to sacrifice about 5% of the solar cells over all watt output.

You can actually make smaller panels this way increasing the wattage per square meter and saving on glass dimensions. This option works perfectly for joining together broken cells and making artistic designs with solar scraps that really produce power. This option is also perfect for solar model builders as this makes the panel one semi-rigid piece.

My solar cells that I used to make the panel were 3.5A each and .5V each, so when linked in series the 36 solar cells that i used produce 3.5A and 18V, as voltage is additive in a series connection.

If you are thinking of building a solar panel, then try to use plexiglas or another type of glass that has very little reflection.

Additionally make sure you paint the panel itself black.

Everything above that I just discussed will help your panel produce as much electricity as possible.
Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed!

This is my attempt at building my own solar panels. I completed the panel, but using Lexan and Clear Epoxy resin didn’t turn out quite like I expected. Granted this was my 2nd attempt. For the most part I would recommend simply buying a decent panel. for the time and money I spent I could’ve bought a 200Watt panel from a discount retailer. Also, I would definitely not put a homemade panel on the roof.
