Make Solar Panels - Make a Solar Panel Yourself on a Weekend & Start Saving Money Instantly
Have you considered adding solar panels as an additional source of energy for your home, yet hesitate because of the high cost of the purchase and installation? Did you know you can make them yourself with materials found at your local hardware store? In addition, the cost to make a solar panel is less than $200.

One of our favorite channels on television is the “Green” channel that has all kinds of shows about “living green,” “off the grid” homes, and homes that use renewable energy sources. While watching these shows, many times the price of the alternative energy sources are quoted. The prices the shows quote are extremely high!

When my husband and I discussed adding solar panels to our home, we came to the conclusion it would be too expensive, that it would take years to ever get the savings back through a reduction in our electric bill.

Then we found a DIY Guide and Videos that shows how to make a solar panel for under $200. Once the guide was downloaded and printed, we found that the construction of a solar panel is not difficult at all. The guide gave us excellent illustrations and instructions to follow. It also gave us a list of materials to buy, and the best stores to buy the materials at the lowest cost.

Before making the solar panel, we were advised to decide where we will put it so it will get the best sun exposure. The actual making of the solar panel is not difficult, yet it is a bit labor intensive and will take several hours to complete.

It is exciting (to my husband and I) that we are now able to add an additional and renewable energy resource to our home and instantly lower our electric bill.

Just about anyone can learn how to make solar panels so they can lower their electric bill. If you would like to learn more about adding an alternative energy source to your home at a low cost, then you may wish to

This is my 8th video interview with Erik Bowman Regional Sales Manager of Akeena Solar out of Denver Colorado.

SolarDave: Will The Price of Solar Panels Come Down Anytime Soon?

Erik Bowman: That is an interesting question and I don’t want to create and false expectations of clients, because yes over time as manufacturing ramps up there are companies all over the world making panels. As manufacturing ramps up, as demand increases the prices for panels should drop and it has dropped over time and we predict it will drop in the future.

At this time though the subsides in Colorado cover 50% to 60% of the cost of the system and even at that at cutting the cost at half is now that is even viable verses standard electricity. Even as the cost of the panel drops and what happens historically looking at German New York and California as the models the most mature solar economies in the world rebates drop over time as the cost to install goes down the rebates are there to make it make sense as the technology catches up.

So it will probably be 10 years, that is a total guess you would have to ask people that know more than me before the cost of a solar power system on its own without any subsides make equivalent and viable economic sense. Nobody can predict the future don’t know what is going to happen.

Right now with the rebates in place and you are installing a system that will produce electricity for 30 years at 7.5 cents a kilo watt hour it costs you 11.5 through Xcel right now.

So it is a matter of making a decision to say, I am willing to make a capital outlay up front in order to prepay my electricity at a cheaper kilowatt hour now, verses making increasing rates over time. And a lot of people are making that call.

This depends on the system used, and the application (home or industrial). For a typical home application, the PV (photo voltaic) would be a 2,000 KW system with a street cost of $20,000 USD including installation.

In the State of Oregon, you would get a $4,500 instant rebate, meaning you would actually pay $15,500. An Oregon tax credit would return $6,000 more to you (the cap is currently $6,000), and the Federal rebate (available throughout the US) would return another $2,000 (that is the cap as well).

This would make the final cost of the system $7,500 in Oregon. Other states have credits as well. The credits are based on the need for states to control their rising energy costs, and they come out ahead by funding these systems.

Keep in mind that a solar water heater (which does not involve PV, but still uses the sun) would save 2,200 KWh/yr and cost $8,000 installed, but after all credits would cost only $3,800 in Oregon (about $2,120 is saved due to Oregon credits). This is a much lower price (about half!), but has about as much environmental benefit as the PV system.

Both options are fantastic environmentally, and save money for you if you will own the home for several years (5-15 depending on the amount you spend). In the case of solar water systems, the cost has been shown to be directly equal the increase in percieved value of the home, so even if you sold the home prior to the return on investment for energy saved, you would come out ahead.

New technology uses cheaper materials instead of expensive silicon crystals. These new solar cells are projected to cost 1/10th of what the more expensive silicon cells cost.
