Having bought and examined dozens of these DIY solar panel guides / kits, there is no doubt that the leading packages offer excellent value for money and do show you how to make your own solar panel. But, expect to pay around $175 for the materials to construct a 60watt solar panel.

Earth4Energy is a very good product and is one of the best DIY solar panel guides available. The manuals are very good. The only reason that this kit does not get top billing is that the instructional videos only cover some of the initial steps in building a solar panel. Earth4Energy has recently produced five excellent videos (and more are in the pipeline) that cover the wider aspects of using and configuring solar panel systems, covering terminology, different types of on grid/off grid configurations, building codes/regulations etc. As well as a a number of bonuses (all available free off the Internet) the package includes a manual for making bio-diesel from used cooking oil.
