  2. I am the kind of guy who passions to seek brand-new things. Presently I am making my own solar panels. I'm doing it all by myself without the aid of my staff. I am using the net as the only path to acheive that. I stumbled upon a very brilliant site that explains how to contruct solar panels and so on. The site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.

    I'm not exactly sure about how correct the information given there is. If some guys over here who have experience with these things can have a look and give your feedback in the page it would be awesome and I would highly value it, cauze I really would love to try solar panel construction.

    Thanks for reading this. You people are the best.
