If you like the idea of being energy independent, but the idea of DIY solar panels makes your eyes glaze over, palms sweat and your headache, you are not alone. Since most of us are used to flip a switch to turn on the lights, we may have never thought much about the process of how electricity we take for granted and delivered to our house is generated. So naturally, the power may seem mysterious.
But once the process is explained and is divided into step by step instructions, it becomes almost as easy as following the instructions to bake a cake or build a bird house. Of course, we are not talking here about the wiring in your home to tie into the grid of the utility. We're talking about making simple solar panels that charge a battery that can be used to power their laptops, TV or other small electronics and appliances.
