How do I make a home made solar panel?
I will like to make a solar panel at home. I know that they are not that expensive today but I thought it would be fun.
do a search at www.makezine.com for a photovoltaic cell you can make at home. You won’t get much voltage or current out of it, though, and it involves heating a piece of metal very hot so it could be dangerous - so the process is best done by an adult or under careful adult supervision.
These home made cells are not very efficient, and have no practical use, but it could make for a fun science project.
