What are Solar Panals Panels?
Solar Panal Panel is packaged interconnected assemblage of many solar cells. Each solar cell produce a very small amount of electricity when exposed to sunlight.  To get a bigger output of electricity, many solar cells are then connected together in a assembly called Solar Panal Panel. To get even bigger output of electricity through sunlight, many solar Panals Panels are then connected together to form Solar Panals Panels array.

What are Solar Panals Panels made of?

Solar Panal Panel, also known as photovoltaic (pv) panal panel is a made up of a large assembly of photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic(pv) cells are made up of semiconductor material, such as silicon (found in abundance on our planet). The pv cell use wafer based  thin-film cell based on silicon or similar material , such as cadmium telluride .When sunlight strikes on the surface of photovoltaic panal panel , a electron in the atom gets knocked off which flows through the circuit producing electric current. A typical pv cell can convert about 5% to 20% of sun's energy into electricity. Depending upon the requirement, many solar panals panels are connected together to form an array for desired wattage output of electric current. Solar cells are very fragile and should be handled very carefully.

How are Solar Panals Panels rated? How efficient are they in generating electricity?
Solar panal panel is rated in Watt, which is a measure of rate of electricity consumption. Mathematically, it is defined as a mutliple of current (Amps) into Volts(V).  Solar panals panels are connected in series to get the desired voltage (V), and connected in parallel to get the desired current (Amp). The formula used is Voltage (V) equal to Current(A) multiplied by resistance. Each cell will have a certain resistance which is constant.

How can someone make their own Solar Panals Panels?
If you desire to make solar panel on your own, it is recommended to buy a do-it-yourself guide like Green DIY energy. Sending $50 to educate yourself can save you thousands of dollars in a long run.

How much will it cost to buy Solar panals panels?
Solar panels are measured in watts and priced in terms of $/watt. Therefore, the first thing that need to be assessed is how many watts will be required at your premises or home. Then multiply that with the unit cost, which should give you a approximate cost for your solar panals panels. Commercially available solar panals panels today cost about $4 per watt, compared to $150 per watt in 1970. With time, this cost is estimated to go down drastically. For solar energy enthusiasts, can build their own solar panels for fraction of cost and save big. A good place to start can be this detail guide. It should be noted that solar panels alone will not do any good. You would require several accessories to make solar energy home a reality.

Are Solar Panals Panels affordable? If not, what can be done to make Solar Panals Panels more affordable?
Solar Panals Panels are very affordable if you can make it yourself. You can make them on pennies for a dollar compared to the commercially available in the market. But, before you jump on to it, it is better to get some knowledge. There are few good guides available only, like the one GreenDIYenergy to start with.

How can you protect your Solar panals panels?
Solar panals panels are very fragile and should be handled with utmost care . They should especially be protected from mechanical damage during manufacturing, transportation, installation and when in use. Since cells are made from wafer thin silicon cells which breaks easily with smallest impact, care should be taken if the area that you live in is especially suseptible to strong wind, hails or snow load.Solar panals panels should also be protected against moisture, which may corrodes the metal contacts and interconnects,thus decreasing performance and lifetime.


How many Solar Panals Panels will be required to provide electricity for average home?
That depends on several local factors - square footage of home, the kind of insulation in the home, number of appliances, geographical location and many other. The major consumption of electricity goes into heating and cooling. The best way to start is to assess your average electricity need. This can be accomplished by taking the average electricity consumption over the last 12 months. This should give you the wattage requirement. Each solar panel is measured in terms of it output wattage. So, divide the total wattage requirement for your house by the wattage of individual solar panel to approximate estimate how many panels you will need for your home.
