How to Make your own 60 Watt Solar Panel


Summer is almost over and your chances of capturing mother nature are slipping away. Don’t get too distraught, however, because fall and winter are coming, meaning months ahead to construct your own solar panel.

I would love to find a way to make a solar water fountain. I have 14 solar lights in my front yard and I would gladly sacrifice half of them – heck, I’d sacrifice all of them! – to make some kind of cool water fixture, if I only knew what steps to take. I even have a fountain with a pump, but I haven’t installed it because I don’t have access to electricity outside in the front yard. “Solarizing” the fountain would be ideal.

This seems like a project that would be right up your guyses alley. I know it can be done somehow, because I saw some solar fountains at Lowe’s at least a year ago but I was too cheap to buy one at $150. Did I mention how flimsy it looked?
