Question:

When I make a solar panel what kind...?

When I make a solar panel, what do I use to store the energy. For example I am going to make a solar panel to power my lights in my room. But I dont want the lights only to come on when the sun is out because that would be very pointless. So... Do I use the panels to charge something like a car battery and then run wires from the battery to an extension chord which will go to a surge protector? It sounds awesome, but I have to put it all together. The help is very appreciated. Thank you guys.

Answer:

You can make your own solar and wind power for less than $200. You can your power bill by making your own solar panels. You can save thousands of dollars and go green at the same time. 93.9% of the energy that is consumed by US is NOT from renewable sources. The best choices when it comes to home power are solar and wind power. These count for only 0.2% of the energy that is consumed. You can generate your own energy and send it on the power grids. If you don't use all the energy you produce the power company will pay you.

First of all you seem to be talking about making a solar photovoltaic panel instead of a solar thermal panel. Most solar panels will produce DC electricity. Your house uses AC electricity. You can set up the solar photovoltaic panels to send their current to charge a battery bank and then you can tap into that battery bank and send the power to a voltage inverter to change the power to AC. The better inverters will do a better job of this. The system has to be matched and sized properly. If you are not familiar with electrical work you should have someone who is more knowledgeable help or do the work. Good luck with your project.
