Solar Cells is a guide that teaches readers how to create home-made solar cells using an easy-to-follow process. The book includes three different methods, with the 1996 Japan Patent being the most powerful one. This method involves screen printing negative and positive layers as well as contact layers onto glass plates or metal sheeting. Screen printing each layer ensures longer-lasting and more efficient solar cells.

The author emphasizes that screen printing is cheap and straightforward, requiring only basic supplies such as screens, ink, and air compressors which can be found at local hobby stores or art supply shops. By following these instructions, homeowners can print up multiple solar cells for pennies apiece - enough to cover an entire roof if desired! With this setup in place, it's possible to generate excess energy which can then be sold back to electric companies through programs available in many states.

In addition to providing detailed instructions on creating your own Solar Cells at home, this guide also delves into the science of photovoltaics (PV) systems - devices designed specifically for converting light energy into electricity. PV technology has come a long way since its discovery in 1839; today's advancements have made them cheaper than ever before while increasing efficiency levels significantly.

Overall,Solar Cells serves as both an instructional manual on building your own renewable energy source from scratch while also offering valuable insight into why PV technology matters so much today.
