DIY solar panels

There are 7,107 islands in the Philippine archipelago, a part of South-east Asia, in the western Pacific Ocean. Due to colonization from the cultures of Spain and the United States, Filipino culture has more Western influences than its Asian neighbors. Bustling Manila, the country's capital, is a good place to start your visi.

DIY Solar Panels are the better alternatives compared to buying ready made solar panels. A home can save hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the project size.

Solar energy is the way to go. It gives us free electricity and promotes a healthier environment at the same time. Unfortunately, Solar technology isn't something that any average income earner can afford and it is something that will take years to get a return on investment once the money is spent. But luckily there's a more cost effective way and that is to DIY solar panels.

That is by making your own DIY solar panels. It is a lot of work but fortunately, most of the people who build their own panels find it amazingly fun and interesting. Basic components and materials needed to do it yourself:

• Solar cells with metal tabs
• Plywood coated with moisture protection
• Pexiglass
• Screws and nails
• Wires
• Diode
• A charge controller
• AGM batteries
• Power inverter

Before starting any DIY project, it is good to have everything planned out. With that said, you will need to find out how much power you would like to generate. The more power you require, the most DIY solar panels, materials and batteries you will need. Start off from there!

Once you are done with making your own DIY solar panels, below is a brief overview of how you can harness solar power into your home.
