If you re like this diy designer and want to make your own panels even though you don t have any experience working with electrical components this is the perfect diy plan for you. Your self assembled panels cost 211 euros 160 for an 87w array but fully finished encapsulated 100w panels cost from about 105 euros 80 and you can get 2x100w panels for the same price as this diy version panel or a 100w panel with controller box for the same price. That s why it comes as a surprise to most when they re told that solar panels require routine cleaning. Many of those who are new to solar energy don t actually know that solar panels need to be clean in order to properly work.

Without it your panels could generate anywhere from 15 25 less energy depending on the extent of filth. Using solar panels is a great way to save money and help out the environment.
