homemade solar cells?

Question

is there a simple way to make solar cells? with minimal expenses? how?

Answer 1

The only home-brew solar cells that I know will work are of the copper oxide type. Try the site below or do a search on "CuO solar cells":

Answer 2

Solar Cells (Photovoltaic cells) are generally made of special semiconducting materials and difficult to manufacture at home. But I found an intresting site explaining details of making them using copper plates. Follow the link Below to find out,

Answer 3

solid questions! a million.  No, no longer all image voltaic creditors use image voltaic (photovoltaic, or PV) cells.  some in basic terms turn the solar into warmth, which could be performed with some thing so straightforward as flat black paint. 2.  No, they are no longer all an analogous.  "image voltaic collector" is an extremely large classification which contains image voltaic panels, and PV arrays are a style of image voltaic panel.  the two PV panels and image voltaic water warmers are image voltaic creditors, yet a image voltaic water heater isn't a PV panel and vice versa.
