Installing Photovoltaic Solar Power at Home

This vid shows the various steps in planning and having a company (Real Goods Carlson) install photovoltaic solar electric power in my rear yard in San Diego; definitely more challenging than a roof installation. My rationale for this: reduce my carbon footprint, buy / own my energy (like I do my house), help address CA’s energy shortfall and take advantage of the state and US government incentives for early adopters to save on the installation.

PHILIPPINES: companies which install solar panels for homes?

Filed under: solar panels for homes — admin @ 2:30 am

how much does it cost? is it reliable? if you also have their address and phone number, please include.

Thank you very much :)
Most of the listings on the Net were in the years 2007 and 2008, and so far I found only this Solar Electric Co (SOLARCO) 724 48 12, run by a certain Mr.Puckett.

You might also try the Green Architecture Movement, United Architects of the Philippines, at 53 Scout Rallos, QC 4126364, 3721796, for better info.

Costs may have come down from P70 thou and P60thou that they mentioned in 2007, but I am not sure.

Solar panel manufacturing could still be in the infancy stage, although big players like the Lopez Group and Shell Philippines are already in the field. Home use involves the solar panel plus battery plus inverters, although someone suggests to change some home wiring to 12V rather than go for inverters. There were also suggestions that China made appliances like airconditioning and refrigerators are available, running on solar power.

Residential Solar Panel System

Filed under: residential solar panels — Tags: , , , — admin @ 12:00 am

Sorry for how the video came out, but meh…… So there are 3 or so rows of 14 panels or so each. The transformers take 2 lines of panels each, so there are 4 lines of DC in. These are transformed into 2 220VAC feeds, which are backfed into our central wiring. Extra power is sold to the grid, and needed power at night is bought back. … solar panel system residential

Do-It-Yourself Solar Panels - a Cheaper Home Energy Solution

Do-It-Yourself Solar Panels - a Cheaper Home Energy Solution
There are already several do-it-yourself solar panels that have been made accessible to the public whether over the net or in the actual market. The availability of these has also been incorporated with devices wherein you can study and learn the production, planning, and fabrication of electricity derived from raw sunlight. This has already become a new trend as a renewable supply of energy made available to everybody. Now, we can use heat from the rays of the sun and convert it into usable power. With the help of an appropriate device, we can transform this heat to electricity, helping us save about eighty percent off our monthly electric bills.

Though ready-made panels are indeed just as available in the market, the downside to it is their cost. Prices range from $2000 to $3000 as compared to do-it-yourself ones that are priced only at around $200. Surely, at about over a thousand dollars difference, the do-it-yourself solar panels are hands down more preferable, especially when we know that they come with their own do-it-yourself guides nowadays.

These guides teach you the exact steps in an illustrated manner on how you can go about building your own renewable energy system to tap on sunlight for your electricity needs at home. Not only so, you will learn how to do this affordably.

Once you have already installed them on your roof or backyard, you will also have already started generating your very own electricity. Almost everybody has a lot of, or even just enough, free space on the roof or backyard to make room for these power generating devices.

These house areas or locations are the ideal spots to put them on since it is these areas that are usually most open to direct sunlight and one can easily install the solar panels there. For those who happen to have houses that are too small to accommodate or consume all of the excess electricity the do-it-yourself solar panels generate, the “surplus” energy can actually be sold to local utility companies and rechanneled to other households in the neighborhood, thereby generating income for you and your family as well.

DIY Solar Power - What Is Solar Power About?
Today, DIY solar power is totally possible. At one time, if you wanted to tap on the sun for your home energy needs, you would have to pay professional companies tens of thousands of dollars to do it. For many people, this high cost was prohibitive and stopped many from even considering it. It still is outside of many people’s budgets today. With it being harder than ever to secure credit due to a failing economy, individuals who don’t have an extra $40,000 in the bank will be hard pressed to be able to afford solar panel installation. Fortunately, it is possible to create and install such panels on one’s home the do-it-yourself style.

All that is needed to get started are the right tools, tough glass, photovoltaic cells and plywood. In order to create your own DIY solar power, you will need an instructional guide to walk you through the entire process. Luckily, this should not be too difficult to get your hands on. You will find a number of useful guides online. Later in this article, you will find a link to one of the best renewable energy guides on the internet. It will cost you a small fee but nothing too outrageous. You will learn that for around $200, it is possible to power your home using alternative renewable energy methods. This will allow you to save money and live much more environmentally friendly.

Many people are put off when they consider creating their own electric generating system. However, it sounds much harder then it really is. Once you have the right information, tools and materials, it really is a breeze even for those folks who are the “non-home improvement types.” You will be pleasantly surprised that producing DYI solar power is much easier then it looks. The advantages should also ease the apprehensions a bit as well. Imagine lower monthly electric bills, reducing your carbon foot print and being environmentally responsible. With the low costs of being able to make and install your own panel system, there really is no good reason not to.

how can i build my own, cheap, solar panels at home?

Filed under: solar panels for homes — admin @ 8:42 pm

i need to cut down on electricity bills, and so i was wondering if someone could give me step-by-step instructions, or websites that have step-by-step instructions on how to build an electricity generating solar panel.

The idea behind building your own was to get defective and broken solar cells from the manufacturer, preferably for free though many now charge for them. These are cells that are either cosmetically blemished, cracked or otherwise broken during manufacturing and transportation.

As each cell fragment could have very different voltage and current characteristics, you have to manually measure the voltage and current characteristics, sort them and then wire them in parallel or in serial to achieve the desired voltage and current characteristics for the panel. Wiring in parallel increases the current while wiring in series increases the voltage, the current capacity of cells in series will be that of the lowest current capacity cell in that series hence you need to match fragments up to wire in parallel till you have enough current capacity to participate as a cell in the series. Cell fragments can only be wired in parallel if they have the same voltage output. It's painstaking work and it's difficult to place all the irregular shaped cells onto the solar panel in a layout that efficiently uses the space so your solar panels will likely be much larger than commercial ones. You could augment them with Fresnel lenses since the cells don't occupy as much of the available surface area hence focusing the light onto the cells rather than the board will help with efficiency. Practice your soldering skills cause you don't want to have to go back in to figure out where that cold solder joint is. If you're real lucky you can get a supply of blemished cells but the cheapest ones are the broken cells.
