   How to Make Home Solar Power

   You need to do research. First find out how much power your items are going to be drawing. Next, you have to research a bit on solar cells. What you are mostly interested in is efficiency and the surface area you are going to be able to cover with them. You will use this information in conjunction with the amount of time you believe your solar cells with be exposed to the sun and the amount of energy the sun will provide to that surface area to determine the efficiency of the solar panel you need. There’s more to it, but since you are asking for help on yahoo, that should do.

   How to Make Solar Power

   You need to know what wattage you need.
   Lets say you have a 100 watt light bulb.

   volts X amps = watts

   12v X amps = 100 watts

   amps = 100/12 = 8.3 amps

   you would need a solar panel that can handle this output.

   you are looking at a few hundred dollars just for a light bulb.
