DIY Solar Panels – What is a Photovoltaic Solar Cell System?
Basically a photovoltaic system (PV) is a system that converts sunlight to electricity. The basic component of any photovoltaic system is a solar cell. In order to generate enough electricity for your home, you will need to link multiple energy cells together to form a solar panel. This may seem like a difficult task but with the right DIY cell plans and a decent guide the job is very easy! PV cells will work when the sun is shining and are therefore ideal for homes situated in hot climates. It is important to remember that PV cells do not use the heat of the sun to make electricity but use the sunlight to free electrons. Therefore you should consider building your own solar cells even if you live in cooler climates. In order to build a successful DIY solar panel, you must bear in mind that all sun panels have to have multiple PV cells connected to an inverter (a device which converts the electric current produced by the cells from a direct current (DC) to an alternating current (AC)).
