Is It Time For DIY Solar Panels?
With ever increasing energy bills, this video shows how one householder decided it was time to fit solar panels to her house.
Solar Panels and Zoning
Make Sure Your Solar Panels Don’t Cost You More Money!
Before you order your do-it-yourself home solar energy system and start building your own solar panels, you might want to save yourself a big headache (and loads of money!) by looking into your local zoning. If you live on acreage in an unincorporated area, you might still be subject to some state restrictions. So it is always wise do ask some questions and do some research at the beginning of your solar panel project’s planning process (instead of waiting until the money has been spent!).

12v Solar Panels That Are Portable – A Guide
12v solar panels (12v) are some of the most popular types of portable solar panel
systems. How much energy does a 12v solar panel give you? Perhaps not enough to heat your
house, but enough to run some of your smaller electrical devices, or recharge
their rechargeable batteries.
These portable 12v solar panels operate like large solar panels, but produce less
electrical power due to their smaller size. Like their larger cousins, 12v solar panels
operate best under direct full sun conditions. Most of them will work on cloudy
Three Things to Consider Before Buying Solar Panels

Solar Panels…There’s much talk about solar energy solving the world’s energy problems. But wouldn’t it be smart to know if there are any dangers or hidden negative issues before starting a large project? Here are 3 things to consider before you spend your money:
1) Toxic materials.
Photovoltaic Medicine: Miniature Solar Cells Might Make Chemotherapy Less Toxic
Micro-scaled photovoltaic devices may one day be used to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs directly to tumors, rendering chemotherapy less toxic to surrounding tissue.

DIY Solar Panels – What Are Thin Film Solar Panels?
Thin film solar panels are a newer, thinner type of solar panel which has the potential to make solar energy much cheaper. They rely on the same photovoltaic process that “thick” solar panels use. Basically, the PV cell contains semiconducting material. Sunlight passes through and interacts with the semiconductor material, and creates an electric current. This electricity can be used immediately to power appliances in your home or business, or stored in batteries for later use.
New Equation Could Advance Research in Solar Cell Materials
A groundbreaking new equation could do for organic semiconductors what the Shockley ideal diode equation did for inorganic semiconductors: help to enable their wider adoption.

Planar Power: Flat Sodium-Nickel Chloride Battery Could Improve Performance, Cost of Energy Storage
A redesign of sodium-nickel chloride batteries promises to overcome some of the obstacles long associated with rechargeable batteries. Replacing their typical cylindrical shape with a flat disc design allows the battery to deliver 30 percent more power at lower temperatures, according to new research. Scientists say these sodium-beta batteries could eventually be used in electricity substations to balance the generation and delivery of wind and solar power on to the grid.
