HomeMadeEnergy has produced an excellent package for making solar panels. It does a very thorough job, covering all aspects of making a solar panel and does not assume any prior knowledge or expertise. There is a good manual and seven videos (almost 3 hours) that go through in detail all the steps to making a solar panel. In addition there are another 3 hours of video presentations that lay a foundation of knowledge covering solar energy systems, terminology, system components, system sizing, batteries, on grid / off grid configurations and the fundamentals of electricity.
