Home Made Solar Panels - Free Electricity?

Genuine Home Made Solar Panels is what they are and they are NOT cheap looking, or poorly constructed.
The benefits are enormous. For the handy sort of person home made solar panels are the equivalent of free electricity.
These solar panels are also very inexpensive, which creates what I call the second huge benefit. A business opportunity.
This could easily amount to supplying all or part of your own household's electricity, or even more, up to and including selling the panels. All from homemade pv solar panels that are as professionally done as the expensive store bought types.
I have watched electrical rates go up for about 30 years and I can't remember ever seeing it go down.
So it looks to make a lot of sense if some things are in place.
One of the things is city and state tax credits for energy efficiency and green living. The state I'm in has tax credits that will cut the cost to purchase by half.
When you combine the tax benefits with the added savings you can get the solar installation done so cheaply that you may be able to afford a full blown system right away.
Or you could do it like I am going to do which is to build and install a few panels at first until I have completely taken my home off the grid and even have a little left over.
I have seen these Do It Yourself videos from Earth4Energy and I can't get over how simple the building of these panels is and everything else associated with the system is explained so well that I believe a teenager could do this.
And that brings me to a point that really gets my interest. With some easy math I have calculated that you could make these solar panels at a cost with labor factored in and sell them with an easy net profit of 0 per panel.
I was in manufacturing for twenty years and I can see where one employee could easily turn out four finished panels per day. That translates into 0 profit per employee per day. In a 20 day month that's 00 earned per production employee, and that's after buying the supplies and paying the employees.
It looks like 10 employees would bring in 000 per month and if you could keep your overhead under control, it looks to me like you could have a tax problem in the first year, which is a real victory.
So there it is. A real, bona fide, opportunity. Sure it's not for everyone, but everyone has electricity going into their house so they already have the budget for solar. The market is breathtakingly huge.
It's just a matter of making it easy for them. Now that's marketing!
To recap here, remember that the market is absolutely huge. And most people already have the cost of solar electricity budgeted in anyway, by virtue of their ongoing electricity payments.
All a person needs to be very helpful (competitive) in this field is some basic industry knowledge.
One has to know how to buy solar panels at wholesale or how to make them for themselves.
In addition to that there are the installation requirements and procedures and these seem pretty straightforward, too.
So, with all the buzz about high energy prices and living green, what could be simpler to sell than the idea of free electricity?
If it's home made solar panels just for your house or if you are thinking that after you get one house done you could offer to do it for other people, one thing is for sure.
And that is that this idea's time has come.

yes, it’s bad
What will detect static electricity better a home made detector or a store brand?
has anyone really succeeded in making home made electricity? and how is it?
home made electricity
depends on the design of each, how well each was designed and built.
How do I build a home made windmill that makes electricity ?
do compact flouresent light bulbs that are made for the home really save electricity?
they claim they use 3 watts of electricty or 25 watts and so on but is there something hidden ab out the light bulb that doesnt really save electricty compaared to a standard light bulb that would use 60 watts of electricity

I’ve seen plant filtered tanks before, but they are large and stocked with only a few fish. They still need some sort of power for lighting. There’s no way to make a plant filtered tank in 10L, unless there are no fish in it.
You would probably need 200L minimum to be able to keep fish in it without any filter.
Home made filter with no use of electricity?
Hi does anybody have an idea for a homemede filter without the use of ANY technology or electricity
my friend needs one for a 10ltr tank
You will need magnets and magnet wire. The magnet wire needs to be put into coils
I found this book for you. It explains how to:
Make FREE windmill blades and it will only take about an hour to finish a set of 3. a page full of equations and examples of how to use them to figure out power, rpm, tsr, windspeed etc. (units are in miles per hour and feet)
find FREE fork lift batteries and how to make them as good as new making a homemade de-sulfator so you can “pulse” any battery back into new condition
what kind of generator to look for and how to get the best price show to make a simple “furling” system to protect the windmill in high winds
#
how to charge several banks of batteries all at once while pulsing them back to health
#
How to make a 1,000 watt wind turbine for less than $150 (including tower)
I am sure it will help:

Yes, they do. A standard bulb converts most of its energy to heat; that’s why you can’t just reach up and unscrew one after it’s been on a while. A fluorescent bulb works differently, by exciting the atoms of the coating inside the tubes to glow with MUCH less electricity, and comparatively little heat. The fluorescents I use require 13 watts of power (that wouldn’t even light up a string of those little tiny Christmas tree bulbs), as opposed to the 60 watts of the conventional bulbs I used to use, and if anything, it’s BRIGHTER light than what I had before. There’s still some loss to heat, but not very much at all. 13 / 60 = 21% of the former electricity usage.
Nothing hidden – just a bulb that works in a different way to produce light.
