Build DIY Solar Panels

You should spend less than $99 (often much lesser) to build up the solar panel to power small electronics like your automatic gate opener, garden sprinkler or fishpond filtration system.

Recently I saw a 10-Watt solar power kit going for more than two hundred dollars. I immediately thought, “I can put these kinda stuff together in half a day for less than half its price!”

This is a 10-watt DIY solar power kit.

You can use it to construct your personal 12V solar energy system to power stuff like battery chargers, electronic gadgets and LED lamps.

If you’re into building DIY solar panels, you may be pretty familiar with these main components of a DIY solar power system:

1. A 10-Watt Solar panel
2. Charge controller
3. Battery
4. Diodes and Fuse
5. Switch
6. Wiring

If you hop over to eBay, you’ll find that a solar panel costs less than $35, a charge controller costs less than $25, and a 12V battery costs less than $20. Diodes and some wires cost just a few bucks. The total cost is less than $90.

You can check out these prices for yourself on eBay…see if what I’m saying is true. If you can take the trouble to monitor listings on eBay everyday, you can usually pick up even better deals than this within a week.

You can also drop your local supplier a line to find out if their prices are similar. I personally find that retailers can sometimes reduce to almost wholesale prices when they want to move their old inventory.

Using the same concept, you can also build pieces of 60 to 120 watt solar panels as part of your solar power system for your home…at a low cost.

I recently found some innovative ways to create a 60 to 120 watt solar panel for less than $200. I thought it was impossible. But this was before I read about an ingenious idea in a manual I bought years ago…

PS. Sometimes you never know what you’re capable of unless you take action (to start). This also applies to other areas of our life. A good idea implemented can take your project on the highway to success. It can also help create a DIY solar power system that can serve you for years… even if you are on a tight budget.
