If you want to get solar panels as cheaply as possible, realistically you have three options:

  • Buy Solar Panels Wholesale.
  • Find Retail Bargains.  Hunt for bargains such as those we found on Amazon where they are selling the various solar panels at very competitive prices
  • Go DIY.  But only if you are really keen to do this and want to make just a couple of solar panels as a project.  Use one of the recommended “how to make solar panels” guides / kits.  See our DIY Solar Panel Guides review.   A 60 watt panel should cost around $150 – $175, equivalent to $2.5 – $2.92 per watt

With the current state of the economy and the increasing impact of fossil fuels on the Earth’s climate, more and more people want to have a solar panel home.  If you are concerned about the environment or just looking to save money, there are a number of solar and wind power products that both help save you money and help save the planet.

I need some help in fixing solar panel at home, how much it would cost in terms of kwh and also what could be the best idea in terms of cost effectiveness,
1. the solar panel with battery to keep the electricity back up.
2. the solar panel without battery which means direct utilisation of power by means of solar panel.

One better thing about installing solar panels for home is that many local and federal programs provide grants and low interest loans to homeowners to offset the cost of these solar panel systems. You should make sure that you look into any of these programs available and find out if you qualify.

How many batteries will I need and what size inverter will I need just to run it? Anyone know what size solar panel I should use also? It costs me $40 a month to run this sucker lol. Tryin to save money. Thanks for any help.

If your power costs 20 cents per kWh, then that means the TV consumes 40/0.2 = 800 kWh per month. That would mean that the TV is on for 2400 hours a month, which can’t be right, as there are only about 720 hours in a month. Maybe your electricity costs more, but even with the TV on 24/7, this doesn’t make sense.

$40 a month suggests that this TV is on a lot. It is your lifestyle to have it on regardless of whether anyone is watching? If so, changing that habit would be the biggest moneysaver.

Hi, I want to generate electricity using solar panel at home and I want to follow a simple tutorial.
Could you recommend me a good tutorial?

Photovoltaics are best known as a method for generating electric power by using solar cells to convert energy from the sun into a flow of electrons. The photovoltaic effect refers to photons of light exciting electrons into a higher state of energy, allowing them to act as charge carriers for an electric current. The term photovoltaic denotes the unbiased operating mode of a photodiode in which current through the device is entirely due to the transduced light energy. Virtually all photovoltaic devices are some type of photodiode.

thanks you sir
please give me your contact detail

When you say "make" a solar panel at home, I assume you don’t mean installing one–correct?

So, that means you’re going to collect a bunch of photovoltaic cells and connect them into a solar array–right?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unless you have electronics experience in the area of power conversion and optoelectronics, I suggest you abandon the idea. Here’s why.

First, if you’re using photovoltaic cells, each one is probably on a glass substrate. The cell needs to be shock mounted so any impact will not fracture the glass substrate.

If for example my home is 4 bedrooms and and my roof face south with the angle of 40degree.
And house is located in Great Manchester area.

Which photovoltaic system is best for you depends on your needs. The only limitation would be how many panels you can fit on to your roof. If your roof can fit 4kW photovoltaic great news. Different panels have different Wattage which means you can end up having from 8 panels up to as many as your roof would allow up to 4kW system. Of course you could install larger system but 4kW give you best return on your investment. Everything larger then a 4kW will have a lower tariff, which means the government won’t pay as much for the harvested electricity.

I wanted to know the costs of Solar panel in India for a 2 bedroom house..is it on monthly basis , or one-time investment, maintenance costs…and if it costs more than our regular power supply provided by the government.

It really depends on how big the roof is ? and How many panels you want to install? the price is normally counted by the amount of electricity it produces (per kw). My guess is for a 2 bedroom house it will cost around 8 to 9 lakh rupees which you will have to pay yourself for the installation and it pays you back by saving your energy bill.

I am thinking about something called, I think, "thin layer solar panels". Also would like info on any federal monetary help on paying to convert to all solar power in the home.

Thin film solar sheets are a relatively new technology compared to standard glass plated PV panels. Standard panels have been around much longer and they are more efficient, meaning you would need more roof space with thin film than with regular.
