Energy resources are scarce in nature and it is our responsibility to use them effectively, not only for ourselves, but also for our future generations. The most extensively found of them all is the solar energy, which has still not been fully utilized up to its strength. This energy can be used to generate electricity, hest up your house, warm up water and do all those stuffs that utilize your resources. The energy cannot be directly utilized in the work. It has to be converted into meaningful form, such as electricity. To do that, you may need a solar panel and can certainly be used for building a Pool Solar Panel. All the information about the construction of a solar panel can be had from the book "The Green DIY Energy Guide". But for now, a solar panel is something that gives home to many solar cells. They are the ones that convert solar energy into electrical. A large number of such cells, when work collectively, result in considerable amount of energy. Building up of this solar panel is not very difficult. The steps in its construction are: Buy solar cells according to your need. Each of them has output voltage embedded on them. A minimum of 36 Mono-crystalline cells of dimensions 3x6 can make up a good panel. They are fragile & needs to be handled carefully. 1. Make a solar panel box. It can be made out of 3/8 inch wide ply with 3/4 X 3/4 sections of wood covering the sides. The size of the panel can accommodate 36 such cells. If possible, make two separate boxes that hold 18 cells each. Cover it up with a hard, non conducting and thin material. 2. Use Plexiglas on above to protect it from weather terrains. All wooden surfaces need to be painted. Solar panels come with wax coatings at the underside. Dip them in hot water to remove this wax. Once dry, place them on the panel frame and connect the wires in series. Highlight the location of the cells, solder them, with light hands & tie them with copper wire, from above to provide support. Make sure that the electricity connection has a blocking diode fit in it. This will not allow cells to discharge your battery at night. 3. Anchor the upper glass with screws. Attach a male plug at the end of the panel and attach a female one to the apparatus you are going to use. If you like this article visit Solar Heating Pool Tag it:                  |
