Home made solar panels are quite easy to make these days considering the low cost of the components. They're basically the heart of your solar power system that can drastically reduce the cost of electricity. The number of people that install solar panels in their houses is growing pretty fast due to these hard economical times and I am sure you're looking to build such a system that can reduce your energy bills by 80% or even more.
The solar panels basically transform the solar energy into electricity. Buying ready made solar panels can be quite expensive and there's a low return on investment. The cheapest solar panels are sold for 00 or even more and that is why you would be better learning how to build your own solar panel and save hundreds that you can use for other home improvements.
Soldering Supplies
We're now building our fifth 200 W solar panel that will supply enough energy to light up two bedrooms. Read on to get an overview of how simple it is to build your own homemade solar power supply and what exactly you will need to get it installed properly.
For everybody that doesn't know the main parts you need to build a solar panel are: plywood, copper, glass, wire, solder, silicone and UV protector and of course the solar cells or photovoltaic cells that basically capture the solar energ and transform it into green electricity. Solar cells are nearly half of your investment, they can be found at any solar parts shop or they can be order online at the lowest cost. Apart from all the component you'll also need a solid guide in order to start your DIY project and accomplish it successfully without getting any headaches.
We personally followed the Earth 4 Energy guide simply because it's a real blueprint that can teach even a DIY novice where to get the cheapest components and how to make a homemade solar panel with ease.

Cyber Monday Blazer GB2001 Self-Igniting Butane Micro-Torch Overview
The GB2001, Blazer’s original butane refillable micro torch, is a time-tested, gas torch that creates a precise flame emitting from a nozzle head, allowing direct heat application to an object. It is commonly used for detailed purposes such as brazing, plumbing, soldering, jewelry making, culinary, automotive and dental and lab applications.
The GB2001 has a rubber, diamond-shaped, outer body finish, for safe grip and ease of use. It features a gas flow adjustment lever to allow for ease of flame heat and precision change. Its torch flame is adjustable from yellow to more precise and hot blue flame. The torch comes with an attachable, tabletop stand for hands-free work. It offers a long burn time, compared to some other Blazer micro torch products.
The torch houses a piezoelectric ignition system, which is based on a pressurized molecular reaction, and requires no electric connection. Piezoelectric energy occurs when the trigger is activated, releasing a small, spring-loaded internal hammer that strikes a crystal, producing a spark and resulting in gas flame ignition.
With a maximum flame temperature of 2,500 degrees F, the GB2001 has a continuous burn time of approximately 1.5 to 2.0 hours, at maximum fuel volume, and has a 26-gram gas capacity. The torch head has a 90-degree fixed angle, and its flame range is 0.5 to 1.25 inches. It has a safety component that offers manual lock of the ignition, when not in use. It measures 6.0 (l) x 3.0 (w) x 2.5 (d) inches, weighs 6.8 ounces and has a black body finish. This product is intended strictly for use in professional and industrial environments. In accordance with federal regulations, home use of this product is prohibited.
Since 1985, Blazer Products has created an array of professional and industrial tools and equipment. Located in Farmingdale, NY, the company manufactures a variety of micro torches and ultrasonic cleaners. Blazer Products is known worldwide for its original micro torch products.
The GB2001 torch operates with a standard butane canister (sold separately).
