7 Tips On The Tools Needed To Build Your Personal Solar Panel

Amid all the components in a residence solar power method, the largely notable part is the solar panels. The solar panel is also the mainly expensive element of the total method. It mostly takes up nearly 60 percent of the entire project cost.

Basically we are talking about cheap source of generating electricity, so getting panels at a very expensive price will be very discouraging to most people they have opted for solar energy. So the best way out is to the alternative option which we call 'Do It Your Self Solar Panel'. I will be explaining the 7 basic equipments needed to get you solar panel.
1) Soldering Iron:
The soldering Iron also called soldering gun will be used to join the required electrical conductor for the solar cells together. Flux will also be required in cleaning the burning metal tip and at the same time, it makes a fast melt of the led for easy usage.
2) Caulking gun
The caulking gun is basically used to fill in all the cracks and joint in the plywood or woods to be used. The caulking tool makes the filling very easy and gives it a neat appearance.
3) Saw (ELECTRIC):Bold
The saw will be used to basically cut in pieces the plywood needed for the panel box. Electrical saw works easier and faster in cutting woods, but it is completely optional, the normal tiny saw can also be used.
4) Paint brush:
All the lumber surfaces needs to be covered with a pair layer of Ultra-Violate protective paint. That will give a quantity of protection on the wood from the Ultra-Violate of the sun.
5) Screwdriver:
The most useful tool when we need to slacken and tighten screws on the solar panel. The only screws on the panel will be used to hold the Plexiglas to the wooden strips securely.
6) Multi-meter:
After constructing the panel, the basic thing to do before usage is testing the voltage of electricity supplied into the Photovoltaic. Essentially the meter is the tool that will be used to do such a thing as regards regulating the current supplied into the cells of the panel.
7) Eye protection: When a project involves the use of tools that are chemical and electrical in nature the eye needs to be protected so as to guide against dangerous accident that can harm one
These are the some of the tools needed to build an electricity generating panel yourself at a very cheap rate. The full detailed videos are also available HERE
