Diy Solar Cells

I want to make a DIY solar panel... But i don't have much budget... Can someone lend me a hand? and maybe include details of the location and the solar cells

You can get some materials in your local electrical/junk shop or you can search for them online. As for the guide, here's one that might be of interest to you.

I have read about these diy solar cells, blah, blah. But how would you use one to realistically run the appliances in a home? And how would they make the electricity meter run backwards?

A solar cell produces dc voltage. The mains is ac. Anything connected to generate back to the mains has to be synchronized with the mains (ac waveform at same frequency and period)

To connect what you are suggesting requires an...

I have 46 3x6 cells at .5V by 2.8A. I could make a 36cell panel wired in series for 18V. However, I would like to wire 32cells in series for 16V & connenct the remaining 14cells in parallel to up my amps. Would the solar cells take this? would

The strings should be of equal length before connecting in parallel. so you have only one choice, since 46 divides into 23 and 2, you can use two strings of 23 each or 23 strings of 2 each. 23 cells is 12 volts. Other connections will waste power....

I have 4 pv modules 15 volts each .15 amps each. All I can think of doing with them is: wire them into a series to charge a small 12 volt battery. So that i'd have power to charge small usbstuff etc. I'm going to buy the blocking diodes, 12 volt...

Great idea, Aaron.

I think you will need to wire them in parallel if they are 15 volts each. The four panels will provide peak power of only 9 watts so the 12-volt battery may need a few days to reach full charge.

As...

I have seen a lot of DIY information on making your own solar panels. I have even purchased a couple of them. However, they have not been very helpful in the fact that they either call for buying tons of broken peices and putting them together, or...

Instead of trying to make your own solar panels from old parts that may or may not work I would suggest you look for applications where solar panels are presently used on a temporary basis and then not recycled. Consider some place where a...
