www.EnergyBrainiac.com How toMake Solar Panels - Build Homemade Solar Panels & Save $1000s Building homemade solar panels is an excellent way to save money and protect the environment at the same time. Making your own solar panels is not as difficult as it may sound. Some of the things you will need are an electric stove, copper wires, a micro-meter etc. These materials can be easily found in any hardware store. To build your own solar panels you will need to make solar cells, connect them in series and also connect the solar panels to one another. After that you should connect the solar panels to a battery and an inverter that will convert the solar energy into usable form for home use. It may take you a few days to complete the project, but it is definitely much better to do it yourself instead of paying up to $3000 for a ready made solar panel. This is why you should use the power of the sun: * Save more than 80% on your electricity bill or even eliminate it completely. * Save on taxes for using green energy. * Gain money by selling the extra power to the electric company. * Reduce the pollution by using a clean and inexhaustible energy source. The best place to install solar panels is your roof because there they can absorb direct sunlight, but if that is not an option you can also use your garden, your backyard and many other places. Solar cells collect energy even in cloudy days. Solar energy systems can be used to produce electricity to power all devices in your <b>...</b>

Solar Electricity - Cogenmicro solar heat engine - prototype 1

This video shows the first prototype of the solar heat engine developed by cogen microsystems in Adelaide, South Australia. The engine uses evacuated tube solar collectors to collect thermal energy, and converts the energy to electricity using a modified rankine cycle, while at the same time allowing the heat energy out the other side to be used for heating hot water storage. The overall aim is to make solar electricity available to every home at costs below PV panels, and provide solar hot water heating in the same system to reduce usage of electical and gas hot water systems. Currently cogen microsystems is targeting the product at larger scale applications such as local swimming pools where the system will have a greater visibility to the public. Prototype 1 is due for field testing at a renewable energy display centre setup by the local council.

Cheaper Solar Power on the way

A company that secured a Department of Energy grant to pursue a breakthrough idea in the manufacture of solar cells plans to announce on Tuesday that it has raised $20 million to commercialize its technique, which it says will reduce the price of solar panels by 40 percent.

1366 Technologies of Lexington, Mass., has found a simpler way to produce the basic building block of solar cells: silicon wafers. It uses molten silicon to cast the wafers in their final form, six inches on one side and 200 microns thick, or about eight-thousandths of an inch.

That significant cost savings should translate into a cost competitive price per KWh. Hopefully we're on the way to making Solar the obvious choice to replace old coal power plants.
