can I easily build my own solar panels for my home?
Is it really possible for me living in Denver to build and install and setup my own solar panel to help make electricity for my home?
It's possible, but not as easy or cost-effective as the sites selling information suggest.
You can build your own solar panels from individual cells or broken cells. Possibly you would end up with a panel that costs less than a commercial one, but it would not have the UL safety certification, and thus would not legally be allowed to be connected to the grid in any place that I know. So you would have to go with charging a battery, and that alone doubles the cost of the system. It could be a fun and educational thing to do, but would not be a money saver.
You could also build a solar water heater - plans and videos abound on the web. However, Denver gets hard freezes in winter, so you would need to drain your home built system during those months. There are solar water heaters designed to take sustained freezing temperatures, but unless you're an engineer, that type would be really hard to make.
The site http://www.nlcpr.com/Deceptions6.php has something to say about various scams, including solar.
