   1. Find Good Solar Cells - The most essential component of your Solar Power system is, surely, the solar panel. So the first things that you should consider is some good solar cells.

   You should consider Solar cells that measure 3" x 6" and are rated for about 3 amps each. In order to get these for a nice price you may need to do a little shopping around but you must buy around 36 cells (the amt you will need for one panel) for under $70 on E-Bay. News cells will cost you much more than that!

   2. Plywood/Acrylic - This will be used to sustain all of the cells as a backing for the solar panel. You don't need to go out and buy any expensive wood as this will be protected anyway.

   Although use plywood.This cheaper Acrylic is recommended as it will be more durable and long lasting.

   Building your own solar panels for energy can be very setasfying especially when you know what you do. So go ahead,start it today!
