Build A Solar Generator
One can easily make a solar power generator for $250 to
$300 using parts available in the local stores. These home
mahe solar power generators are good enough to power your
computers, televisions, lights, and other appliances. moreover,
they can be used in cabins, boats, tents, archaeological
digs, or any other place.

Just follow the steps given below and you will have a solar
power generator ready to be used.
- Get a small solar panel from a RV or marine supplies
store. For about $100 you will be able to get one rated
at 12 volts.
- Look for a battery. It can be of any size deep cycle
12 volt lead/acid or gel battery. This deep cycle battery
will be for continuous use and not like the one used in
a car just for starting the engine. You can easily get
these batteries for $50 to $60.
- Buy a battery box to put it in. This is just a precautionary
measure to cover up the exposed terminals in case there
are children about. If you are planning to install the
system in a pump shed, cabin, or boat, skip this. This
box will cost you another $10 or something.
- Buy a 12 volt DC meter. This should not cost you more
than $30.
- Next, you will a DC input. You can also use the triple
inlet model which you can find at a car parts store in
the cigarette lighter parts section for about $15. This
is enough to power DC appliances. Many cassette players,
answering machines, and other electrical appliances are
DC already and with the right cable will run straight
off the box.
- If you want to run AC appliances as well, better get
an inverter as well. This will convert the stored DC power
in the battery into AC power.
- Useing a drill, attach the meter and DC input to the
top of the box.
- Use insulated wire to attach the meter to the wingnut
terminals on the battery. Connect the negative (-) pole
first. Only handle one wire at a time. Connect the DC
inlet to the battery in the same way. Connect the solar
panel to the battery in the same way.
- Close the lid. Put the solar panel in the sun. It takes
5-8 hours to charge a dead battery; 1-3 hours to top off
a weak one. It will run radios, fans, and small wattage
lights all night, or give you about 5 hours of continuous
use at 115 volt AC, or about an hour boiling water. This
system may be added on to with larger panels, inverters,
and batteries.
