Before I begin to explain what you'll find in the following, even though I think the title pretty much gives it away. You will get all the necessary tools to build a solar panel from home, all the parts needed to put it together, and a plan to have a solar panel that produces energy in your home.

This is obviously just a short version, some sections won't be explained because it takes more than just this article, but at the end you'll find where to get more information if you're serious about doing it yourself.

Tools to build a solar panel

So let's start at the beginning. Before you even think about putting it together you're going to need tools to do this, of course. Some of the important tools you'll need are the following:

* A saw
* Paintbrush
* Gloves/Eye protection
* Caulk gun/caulk
* Output multi-meter
* Solder iron
* Screwdrivers
* Flux/flux pen
* Drill/drill bits

Having these tools at your hand before you start this project can save you a lot of time. Don't make the mistake I made, because it can cost you a lot of headaches. Don't try to use alternatives to the tools specified here, because you'll regret it long term. Just take your time setting up before you begin.

Material for solar panels

The next step is to get all your parts bought to start working on the homemade solar panel. It is important once again to have all the PV panel materials to build a functioning panel. If you have the budget for more expensive material go for it, it will pay off long term. Materials needed:

* Solar Cells
* Wire
* Glue & Screws
* Aluminum or Plywood
* Solder
* Plexiglass
* UV protector paint
* Wood strips

So last but not least is to learn how to make your homemade solar panel. It fairly simple once you have everything you need to start this project. It can be a fun project and a very rewarding too. So many non-technical people are constructing their own solar panels to save money on their bills today, that it has become a trend.

The biggest issue is that some people are going online to look for FREE advice on how to do it and they find it, but it incomplete information and they get stuck through the process. That's why it's a good idea to get yourself a professional guide that teaches you how to follow the process step-by-step so that you don't have to get stuck half way. I tried making my homemade solar panel with free information from the web and I failed miserable. If I had gotten a step-by-step solar panel program I wouldn't have wasted all the time and money. But it doesn't matter now that it's all setup.
