How to Build a Solar Panel - Equipment Needed

If you have decided to build a solar panel, then you might be curious to know what exactly the purpose of a solar cell is. The purpose of a solar cell is to generate electricity through the release of electrons from a solar panel that is subjected to electromagnetic radiation or protons and this in turn stores energy from the sun. When solar cells are joined together into arrays or panels we really see their true benefit delivering mass volumes of energy. The amount of solar cells that you need in order to gain energy depends on how much power that you would like to use, but it is possible to calculate how many solar panels you will need to build in order to power your whole house and it is available online.
