Selling homemade solar panels?

Me and my friend have made our own functional solar panels for considerably less than retail prices and we are thinking about selling them. Are there any legal issues regarding this? Would I need any special licenses or anything? Would using brand name components or parts in the panels make any difference legally? I want to know before I just go out and start doing it. Thanks!

you might first patent the design . Make sure everything is well documented . talk to patent agents and lawyers . Then instead of becoming a seller , introduce your design to established companies. They already have all the licences , lawyers, codes..etc to sell , install, advertise to buyers .

they can often make you a partner or buy your design for a lump sum .

Solar is a huge step . Best wishes

is there anyway to connect small solar panels and/or small wind turbines to a home to reduce a power bill?

Is it even cost effective or worth the trouble?

It certainly can be done but the real question is cost. Basic wind power and solar power generation is not cost effective to begin with unless you have the tax payers helping you with the costs.

details of speed and time?

(sorry in advance if this sounds stupid)
if earth moves at an amazing speed around the sun and the sun moves faster around the super massive black hole and there all attached by gravity so one is moving faster than the other. so my question is, is it possible to travel in a different direction of earths orbit to cause a slow in your speed (like trying to jump out the back of a moving car rather than the front) to slow yourself down enough to see earth travel at its true speed? or would the suns gravity field prevent this? and if it were possible wouldnt it then be possible to disapear completely becuase if the gravity feild didnt prevent your slowing and theres no friction in space wouldnt it then be possible to continue slowing until the solar systems true speed become observable and then the galaxys speed and then everything would be moving so fast that the human eye couldnt see it and there would be no way of ever speeding back up to the objects right? my last question is say it were possible and lets say it were possible to speed back up to earth and it only took an hour for you to do all this would only an hour of went by on earth when you returned or would it of spun around the sun a bunch of times in that period?

If you slowed down you would fall toward the sun and if you speed up you would move away from it. Although the earth is moving fast it’s nowhere near the speed of light, so the time that passed on earth would be the same amount of time that you would experience.

Why do people still read the bible?

We all know, deep down in our hearts, that this is just a story. Nothing more, nothing less. It was written by a guild of writers over years, accumulating the stories which were told by mouth for years. The events that took place in the story are hardly believable at our time, yet for the day and age it was written, the logic and intellect of the common person was far less than ours.

We know witches don’t exist. We know how the earth works, as well as our solar system. We know a GREAT deal more now, then before. So why can’t we just let go of this book? I keep questioning this over, and over, and always come up with the same dead end:

We haven’t biologically matured enough to understand our aspects of living and dying, we shut them out and force our minds to believe nonsense, just to live a lie so we don’t have to deal with life.

What is my question, you ask? Well, why put yourself, and others, through this tribulation? How can a few words change your life, when the rest of us know it’s all blow out of proportion? To make yourself feel better? I just can’t comprehend what it is, and I would enjoy some answers, if you could.

Perhaps you understand the first teachers are the parents, the next is the school and the third is the society in which one lives. This is truly the conditioning process of us.

A brief question about…Life.?

So if God is the creator of the planets the solar system, US, would that mean that truly God isn’t a a living, thinking person or spirit, as we say. Wouldn’t that mean that, we have gods in ourselves because God is the atoms, the molecules that make up everything, seeing as God is the creator and that is what we are created out of. So If this is correct, God doesn’t think and therefore there are no sins, no commandments, nothing restricting us from anything.
So if God is the creator, and God doesn’t think, and there are no true religions. Why have people been fighting over who’s "God" is better for thousands of years? And what do think religion is? I think it’s just an excuse to not think for yourself. Who agrees?
No. People. again I stress this, I am saying that GOD is not a person. GOD is not a living thing. GOD is the so called creator of our world, so if there was a God he would be the thing that creates, and what creates? What creates us? What are we made out of? Hmm?

Good question… if God is infinite and eternal then that means he is everything, including us (which is very confusing). My solution is that there is no God and we live in a natural universe that can be studied and understood.

Advanced Photovoltaic Solar Power Films, The Next Generation

http://www.homemadepowerplant.com/?hop=adonpub A remarkable, new company, Konarka, a solar energy company based in Lowell, Massachusetts, is developing and producing organic thin-film solar photovoltaic films. These photovoltaic films are being printed on an adapted label maker machine. The process is much more cost effect than the traditional method of manufacturing crystalline photovoltaics. Start looking for the cost of solar electric power systems to come down. These new solar energy films could easily become the next-generation solar panels of the future.

Make Your Own Solar Panel – Don’t Buy Solar Panels

http://www.SolarEnergyGuide.net – Make Your Own Solar Panel – Don’t Buy Solar Panels
The energy cost is increasing day by day and simultaneously the cost of electricity is also increasing. The energy resources are also getting scarce day by day and therefore its time for the people to understand about the uses of the renewable energy resources. Energy of sun and wind are renewable sources of energy which can be used for number of purposes. The energy from the sun if used with the solar panel can help you to bring down your electricity bill to zero and therefore reduce the dependence on the fossil fuels.

Make your own solar panel

You can easily get the solar panels in the market which are made up of silicone of high quality. Why to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars if you can make your own solar panel? Making solar panel is not at all difficult job. In order to build a working solar panel all you need is a little effort, simple materials like electric stove, solar cells, copper wire, plastic or glass container of wide mouth, a multi-meter, copper sheet etc.

Before you start building a solar panel select or identify a place in your garden, roof or backyard where the sun rays are received the most. Solar cells should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to work effectively.

A solar cell can easily make a solar power panel. This is how you can make your own solar panel. Place the solar cells or stack the solar cells horizontally and connect these cells which each other. After connecting the solar cells start of with cutting the sheet of copper which can match the size of the electric stove you have purchased. Clean the copper sheet with the help of sand paper as it will eliminate any traces of sulphide. Then start the electric stove to the maximum till the copper sheet changes its color and becomes a thick layer of black coat. Then slowly and steadily make efforts to cool the copper sheet and the stove. When you cool off the copper sheet you will find the layer of red cuprous oxide on the sheet. After this process join the red cuprous copper sheet with a clean copper sheet using the alligator clips and put it into a plastic or glass contained which has a wide mouth making sure that they do not get in touch with other and fill the container with saltwater leaving the clips dry. Ensure that you connect the red cuprous sheet with the negative terminal. Then connect the solar panel to a battery or inventor.That is how you make your own solar panel.

The sun light is captured by the solar collector which focuses the sun light energy into solar cells which then converts the sun light into electricity.

Homemade tattoo gun.

This gun actually works and is easy to make, unlike many of the other ones you’ll find online.

and please, do not at me about diseases, and passing hep a, b, c, HIV, etc.
because I know the dangers, and I avoid spreading things like those to the best of my abilities. so honestly, just off.
