How to make solar panels
The society has observed changed from centuries. In every sector of life some time we observed changes and some time we demand changes. We can say that only one thing is constant in world. And that is change. We always try to innovate and to discover new ideas to do things in a better way. Energy is an ultimate need in our life. Hardly can we move a single day of our life without it. Traditional method of producing energy is not environment friendly. So people are also looking for a change in this sector. New ways that is easy to use for everyone.
To ensure development in different areas it becomes very important to ensure the maximum utilization of the resources. The most developed countries in the world try to make the maximum use of natural resources also. They realize source of energy is sun and learn how to use that energy more efficiently.
Many people might be interested to know how to make a solar panel. If you think making a tool that will convert the energy of the sunlight into electricity is a complicated process, then you are wrong. Actually solar panel making is an easy task. Little bit of effort and care ness make a perfect solar panel for you. To complete this task you require some things that are easily available in the local hardware stores. So you don’t need to make lots of effort in purchasing materials. Some of the most common equipments for making solar panels are electric stove, micro-ammeter, Sheet metal shears, Tap water, plastic bottle or glass, Electric drill with sand paper, Safety goggles, and copper flashing.
Solar panel making starts with the cut the copper flashing. It has to be cut in a square or rectangle so that it fit the size of the electric burner. To cut the copper flashing you have to use sheet metal shears. You have to conscious about the cleanliness of copper flashing. The use of sandpaper helps to protect of any sign of corrosion before proceeding. Now your job is to turn on the burner and put the copper flashing into that. But you have to be very careful in doing this. A thick layer of black cupric oxide is necessary in this process which can be through the half hour cooking of he copper flashing. After the cooking is finished it requires some time to cool down. You have to be patient here because it may took some time.
Before proceed further at first you have to make sure that you completely remove all of the remaining bits of oxide. To ensure this you have to Scrub the completely cooled copper under running water. Now you have to cut a piece of copper. But be careful in the size of this new copper. Because to be the same size of the original one. Then efficiency is required when you attach both panels using the alligator clips to the inside of the glass or plastic bottle with the top cut off.
Lots of concentration needed in every step. Mistakes in the earlier steps can cause a failure in the making of perfect solar panel. To turn copper plate into positive terminal of the meter you have properly connect the lead of the alligator clip. At the same time negative terminal should then be connected to the cuprous oxide plate. To ensure dryness of the clips enough solution to barely cover the bottom of the plates is essential. With these your solar panel making is completed. Put the solar panel outside and see the effectiveness.
