How to Build a Solar Cell That Really Works!

by Walt Noon

How to Build a Solar Cell That Really Works! Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Author Walt Noon will show you how to quickly and inexpensively build a copper oxide photo cell. Admittedly, its overall efficiency doesn't come close to modern silicon cells, but neither does the cost. You can crank out cells for pennies. Connect many cells in parallel and series, and you can generate surprising amounts of power. The process requires only simple tools.

The chemicals, like all chemicals, can be dangerous if mishandled, but the worst is probably nitric acid which is used to thoroughly clean the copper. He'll show you to make a working cell, test it, troubleshoot it if necessary, and even give you ideas on an experimental painted cell that he's working on. In addition, he'll give you schematics of test circuits, sample applications, and interesting projects that he's tried. You'll also get names and addresses of suppliers. The author is not a pro, but he has safely built and used these solar cells. You can do the same. Get a copy of this! 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 booklet 22 pages
