Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By "solar power," we imply the formation of electricity or thermal energy from the sun's beams. Solar energy, which utilizes the sun's rays to produce electricity or heat, is a pure and reliable source of energy. Solar power is generated using solar panels or solar thermal collectors to capture the sun's radiant energy. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are installed to harness the energy of the sun. In these panels, semiconducting materials, such as silicon, absorb photons from the sun and release electrons to generate electricity. Solar panels can either provide immediate power to electronic devices or reserve excess energy in batteries for later use. On the other hand, solar thermal systems can be utilized to heat a building or generate energy. The vast majority of solar thermal systems employ mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a receiver, which then uses the heat from the concentrated beams to power an electrical generator. The heat can either be utilized directly to preheat water or a structure, or it can be converted into steam to power a turbine. Due to the absence of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution during operation, solar power is considered a sustainable and pure energy source. It is beneficial for reducing the use of fossil fuels, which helps reduce global warming. Rooftops, solar farms, and even space-based solar power stations are all viable locations for installing solar energy systems.

Solar power is the only source of energy we know of that can be consumed for billions of years without any fear of it running out. These are undeniable facts; the big question that remains is not what the sun is capable of creating vast amounts of energy, but rather how we can properly access this unlimited source of power. The old fashioned route would have been to go start to a solar panel company and spend nearly a thousand dollars for their high priced, commercially built panels. And if that wasn't enough you would then be footed with another bill for installation. No matter how much you want to save the environment and be energy efficient, whose going to save your wallet? Because foremost of us who live paycheck to paycheck we just can't fork out a couple thousand dollars out of nowhere, even for an investment as great as solar panels. But don't worry any longer, because with the right information you can save your money and build it yourself! Due to more accessible material, and even just sheer ingenuity, the DIY solar panel system is in reach!
