Using solar energy is an ideal way to produce cleaner energy and reduce reliance on more traditional forms of energy production. However, some homeowners hesitate to use solar energy in their homes because of the way the solar panels used to produce this energy change the appearance of their roofs. Solar panels are very noticeable [...]
Make your own solar panel
Posted by Solar energy guru | Filed under Solar panels & photovoltaic cells
Solar energy is often associated with high technology, so it’s surprising how easy it is to build your own solar panel. The solar cells used in commercial panels can be bought separately, and the frame can be made from common building materials. Solar panels are still expensive enough to make building one worthwhile, and it [...]

For those of you who want to use solar power but haven’t been able to afford the high initial costs, printable solar cells have the potential to solve the problem. Printable solar cells would be much lower in cost than traditional photovoltaic panels. They are also lightweight and flexible, making printable solar cells much more [...]
How to make solar cells
Posted by Solar energy guru | Filed under Solar panels & photovoltaic cells
There are many different types of solar cell used today, each made using a different process. The most common type is the silicon solar cell which has been used for several decades. Silicon is first extracted from silica and formed into thin wafers, which are then converted into semiconductors by doping them with other elements, [...]
Thin film photovoltaics
Posted by Solar energy guru | Filed under Solar panels & photovoltaic cells
One of the main problems that has been discovered as the use of solar cells has soared is that the basic solar cell requires a high mass of energy-producing material in order to function correctly. Because this high amount of material is needed, solar cells and photovoltaic panels can be too expensive for the average [...]
Concentrator solar panels
Posted by Solar energy guru | Filed under Solar panels & photovoltaic cells
The need for developing solar panels arose from the fact that the atmosphere is getting polluted at an alarming rate everyday which is endangering the future of this planet. Thus solar panels were designed which were humungous and cumbersome to install at exorbitant rates. Eventually with constant experimentation more affordable and manageable solar panels were [...]
