Hello

Most creative title ever.

Hello, my name is Link, I live in Colorado, and I am interested in making solar panels myself. I am already tried and tested at working with my hands, sodering, wood working, etc. so I feel I could do it easily enough. I have a lot of tools, space, and plenty of sunlight at my disposal. The only thing I am not versed in is the finer details of electroncis. My first project will be adding power to a large building used as a workshop using a car battery to power inverters. The second will be adding panels to my home as replacement power to lower my energy costs. General hints, tips, and tricks is pretty much what I am looking for, although I will post elsewhere looking for those.

Please read about DIY PV panels here and elsewhere. for about the same cost as building your own you can buy commercially available UL approved panels that will last much longer, not void your insurance. be safer and will allow you time to enjoy yourself.
DIY PV panels are a good science project to learn about PV but in all practicality cannot be used on any insured building or connected to a grid tie system.
