Saving Energy with Solar Power : Using Homemade Solar Panels

@SolarPanelsmake your jocking ? are you they take your videos why playboy or wat

Very Educational!

can u email me how to do it the materials etc. jmj_1108@yahoo.com.

@LinkFamilyPA You’re mistaken on a couple of things with your comment to @x11115, namely in saying that the person has to have the installation certified. It really depends on where you live, what you’re doing with it, and whether it ties into the grid. Keeping your power off grid is much cheaper and requires less legal hassle than building a grid tie system.

@x11115 I think you’re a big mistaken. You can build your own solar panels, and your own system but it needs to fall within the guidelines of your electrical code for your area. And then, you’ll need to have an electrician to certify the installation. He will give you a certification number. Then you can apply for the incentives your local county states or government offers.

The batteries im planning to use are forklift deep cycle lead acid cells (Very Large), in my opinion they will be the best for my use (Residential) for the cost and maintainance required, I have am also experimenting with 4′ (4 Foot Diameter) permanent magnet core wind turbines, they are fully custom made, I am very lucky to have my own machine shop and have many future plans that are not commercial based but I am driven with my passion of engineering and renewable energy sources.

yeaaaaaaaah i thing you may be right in one sence man , i just though of something, you will need an inverter to use the energy harvested with the solar panel on any machines that are not 12v compatible, such as heaters ,microwaves,electric cookers…etc also to tie the system back to national grid ,note you get paid from energy suppliers when your ammeter start to turn anticlockwise meaning you selling energy, but the tax man will hang you,

Sorry for any misunderstanding.
My solar panels are not homemade, but are store bought.
My windmills are home made, using old tape drive motors and aluminium flats and pipes.
My farm is not connected to the grid, as it’s an expensive thing to do. Instead, I work on ways of mananging without certain of the conveniences offered by electricity.
Life can be fun when you free yourself from the national grid .

Ok 15yrs you say. pretty strange since they just came out with this a few yrs ago no? Ok well i’ll look into it more. A better man would provide the simple information rather than make people buy an affiliate book which may or may not provide enough information. I also read that power companies will not buy your electric if you build your own because it’s not industry rated so you will run into conflicts with the power companies. In order to beat the oil companies we have 2 work together.

Yes, cars are a scam too.
No one tells us that we have to keep ‘updating’ the petrol in the tank .

My ‘scam’ solar electric system has kept me off the grid for the past 15 years.

No power bills.

Invertors are much cheaper than you think, so it’s worth looking into this.

Youtube is full of videos that show you how to set it up, so you can manage without those $50.00 books .

nice vid! thanks for information

how big of a system?
