3 Myths About Home-Made Solar Panels

So, has the rising cost of utility bills have you looking for ways to generate your own electricity at home?

Have you been thinking about making your own home-made solar panels?

I was thinking about the same thing and I decided to investigate this idea, and I uncovered three common myths of making your own home-made solar panels.  Let me explain them to you here.

Myth number one, home-made solar panels are safe.  When you really start looking at the details of how to build a solar panel you soon discover that hundreds of small soldered connections are required.  You have to get every one of these perfect or they can easily short our and spark.  This can very easily start a panel fire, and cause major or catastrophic damage to your home.  There have been many stories of panel fires in the news of the last several years.  And if this happens, your home owners insurance will not cover you.  Leave the solar panel building to the professionals, who know what they are doing, and whose panels are covered by a UL seal of approval.

Five Myths About Water Fountains

When people think of water fountains their minds often drift to huge estates, gigantic marble constructions and hordes of groundskeepers keeping the fountains running. These days that just isn’t true; anybody can afford a water fountain and there’s never been a time when they’re easier to buy and maintain. Water Fountain Place is a water fountain retailer that not only sells high end custom fountains to corporate headquarters, but smaller fountains suited to any budget. According to the company there five big myths keep many people from adding a water fountain to their homes and gardens. Once you get past them, you’ll see why virtually anyone can beautify their surroundings with an indoor or outdoor water fountain.

Myths Surrounding Solar And Renewable Energy Clarified

As with many relatively new or recent innovations, there are plenty of myths and misinformation surrounding the subjects of produceing solar and renewable energy. One of the myths is that solar electricity is produced using the sun’s heat. Not so – we reveal the truth surrounding the myth here.

Heat Treatment

It seems reasonable to assume that solar panels would produce electricity from the sun’s heat, since heat is used in the traditional generation of electricity by the utility companies at their power plants. And, in a way, that may be close to the mark, because there are actually two types of solar panels, one of which does, in fact, use the sun’s heat. This type of panel is known as a solar hot water panel (also referred to as a solar thermal panel or solar collector).
