How to make a simple DIY solar Panel or cells Project for kids? Here in this post, you can  learn two simple methods to make an experimental solar cell, for the  purpose of impressing your kids. Or you can use this cell as a  photodetector. Solar cell manufacturing is a very expensive process,  that's why even a small solar installation costs around $1500-$2000.  However, you can make a simple solar cell by following some simple  instructions as listed below.  A solar cell is made up of a semiconductor. They are used to convert  the energy from the world's largest renewable energy source, the Sun!  Solar radiations carry an enormous amount of energy. It is possible to  harness energy from sunlight by using solar cells or solar panels.  There are similar devices used to harness other forms of energy from  the sun. Solar heaters and parabolic concentrators are used to harness  infrared radiations from the sun. A solar cell actually converts the  energy of a photon to electricity.
