if i could build it form household itoms  wouldn't it be cheeper?

There are 2 kind of Solar Panelz: Solar hot water panel and solar photovoltaic panels. The latter is harder to make, and is what akshaytruss is talking about. It is a solar panel that converts sunlight into electricity, while Solar Hot Water Panel converts sunlight into heat, in the form of hot water.\n\nHere is a link to create some "simple" photovoltaic solar panels. Don't expect them to be as good as factory made though. Factory made panels uses materials and processing that might be way too inconvinient to make at home\nhttp://www.thesolarplan.com/articles/your-own-solar-panel-collector.html\n\nOtherwise if you meant the solar water heater, that's easy to make, just a bit of piping and pumping and tanking

how about you do your own research and homework.\n\nHere's my answer: 1 brick at a time until it's done.

Probably from commercial sources such as the attached link. You would probably have to pay a bit.

I know of a pretty good site for this kind of thing and it is based in the Pacific Northwest. The address is:\nwww.backyardrecreation.com

door to door salesmen -   need I say more\n\n\nbuy an electrolux instead and have enough money to buy a wife to run it

Yes, you need a lab to do this! If that wasn't clear to you, this may not be the best project to try to copy!\n\nWhy not have an idea of you own, something you can do with what you have at hand at home? You might learn something!

sure should. can be problems down the road, the city or whereever it is located may be authorized to be able to require that it be torn down, or brought up to the building code..and guess who has the expense. walk very warily on this one...it could and will cause more grief than joy

Its fairly simple to make using a readily available liquid. I'll leave you to search the Internet then decide if you want to make it by yourself or get help from friends

Some people do and they really like it. I am afraid that it would seem pretty small sometimes, and it would need to be replaced every once in a while whereas my house doesn't.

Not possible. You will have to pay for it. There is no place that is stupid enough to do all this for free.

Probably loads, but it is a genuine user supported nonprofit. I doubt they ever will sell advert spaces. It would ruin everything they have built.\n--CJ

I would think so.  It is not that difficult to do.  The hardest part is getting started .... so ..... get started!

You can build it, but it is more likely that you will spend more than any of the major manufacturers even if you are trying to customize it.

Maybe you should start doing more stuff around the house, huh??

Sounds good to me.  Very proficient.  You have had all inspection and no variance was needed.  The only thing I can think is the uitility hook ups.  The pre-constructed house will have all the hook up but can services such as cable, electric, gas, telephone,etc.  I am sure.  Now, it's just time for them to come and assemble.

Not unless you can figure out a way to produce a semi-conductor at home.  Basically a solar cell (photovoltaic cell) is a couple of layers of silicon  P type and N type.  Electrons become excited when light quanta penetrates into the P layer. The excited electrons move to the N type and (very oversimplified) create electricity.\n\nI doubt you would have the facilities to create the materials at home.
