			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do it yourself solar power is free energy that can be found anywhere on the planet, yet it is greatly under utilized due to many misconceptions and doubts regarding its validity and viability.</p>
<p><span id="more-437"></span></p>
<p>Experts have attested to the dependability of the sun&#8217;s power as an energy source since many eco-friendly villages powered by the sun can be found in different countries. There are many websites on the Internet, which contain credible information regarding <a href="http://www.diysolarandwind.jooreview.com" target='_blank'>do it yourself solar power</a>, with tips and guidelines to assist people in establishing their own solar panels.</p>
<p>The guide can be summed up in a number of easy and simple steps. Any adult can make it in no time with the use of basic and simple tools and materials. The components include solar plates, photovoltaic cells, semi conductor block, converter, conductor wires and a battery. Each component could be purchased anywhere and at a lower price. Assembly is very simple considering the fact that the materials are simple to handle and the process involves no complicated modification.</p>
<p>- The first step is to combine the basic components including the solar plates, photovoltaic cells and semi conductor block. The solar plates must go on top of the photovoltaic cells. Wires should be soldered on the two receiving ends of the two components. </p>
<p>- After which, the semi conductor block goes underneath the two and is connected by large amounts of conductor wires. This step is very critical since sunlight conversion is the first and most important step to generate electricity.</p>
<p>- The first three components should be attached firmly to each other after wires connecting them have been secured. The plates should be positioned towards a good angle with the sun. This will enable maximum withdrawal of the sun&#8217;s energy to occur.</p>
<p>- The second step is the attachment of the converter to enable filtration of the energy in which non electronic components would be removed. This is exceptionally important due to the fact that impurities could cause power surges and disruption. The converted power should only contain a concentrated amount of electrons. </p>
<p>- The last step is the integration of the battery. The battery absorbs the concentrated electrons. By this time, the sun&#8217;s power is now in the form of electricity. At least 10 to 15 batteries should be used to maximize storage. The electricity contained is now considered the raw power, which could power any electronic device or appliance.   </p>
<p>By following these simple steps, anyone could easily establish a reliable do it yourself solar power source. Many books and Internet websites contain all the necessary information regarding instructions on the assembly of this renewable power source. It is not only sensible, but also ecologically viable. It helps pollution and impurities from contaminating the environment, since power plants are very damaging to the different aspects of ecology. You should consider reverting to solar power. It would save not only your pockets but also the planet. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Solar panels are made out of a number of components which work together in a complicated manner to convert the sun&#8217;s heat and energy into usable, renewable electricity. But how do solar panels work?</p>
<p><span id="more-424"></span></p>
<p>This is a fundamental question that requires scientific knowledge and extensive research. Experts have allotted a great deal of resources to deal with the issues involved in energy conversion. The technology behind solar panels is continuously improving since many institutions around the world are heavily invested in this technology.</p>
<p>People around the world are depending on the sun, since this is a practical source of energy and can be established anywhere. The only crucial requirement to maximize the panel&#8217;s capability is visibility and exposure to the sun.   </p>
<p>The process by which solar panels work is a very broad and complicated conversion of different energy sources into a usable energy. The question can best be answered through several simple steps that have all the scientific processes involved.</p>
<p>Basically the components and material used to create solar panels include semiconductor plates, a photovoltaic cell, batteries, and electrical wires. </p>
<p>The heart and soul of the unit is the photovoltaic cell. It is the component which absorbs electronic molecules from the sun&rsquo;s light, allowing it to be used and stored as electricity. </p>
<p>- The first step in the process begins when the sunlight comes into contact with the photovoltaic cell. This cell basically dissects sunlight into its basic components. These are the protons, electrons and neutrons. The photovoltaic cell absorbs only the electrons since they are the ones needed to generate and store electricity.</p>
<p>- The second step is the transport of electrons to the conductor wires. The semiconductor plates are the materials which sort out the electrons and transport them to the conductor wires. This is a very rapid process.  </p>
<p>- The third step is the passing through of electrons into the conductor wires. Wires with lengths as long as several hundred yards are used, since the continuous process of electron extraction requires several channels to transport them. At this phase, the concentrated amount of electrons is considered as raw electricity and can power several electronic devices at this stage.</p>
<p>- The fourth step is sending the electrons through the energy converter, which actually filters out the other unwanted molecules to avoid power disruption. This is very important to guarantee that the content stored would be pure electrons.</p>
<p>- The final step that answers the question of how do solar panels work is the storage of the gathered electrons in the battery. By this time, the batteries contain the electricity, which can power any electronic device. The batteries are connected to a bigger battery or power source to have a collective measure of the amount of electricity produced.       </p>
<p>Since the sun&#8217;s rays shine almost every place in the world, it can be set up virtually anywhere. Millions of dollars are saved every year by people relying on solar panels.</p>
