In creating your own solar panels, you need copper sheets, wires, and saltwater. You can place it outside your home or on the roof – anywhere that offers no hindrance to a steady stream of sunlight to hit your panels. Heat up one of the copper sheets using your gas stove until you get a red layer of copper oxide. Connect the red sheet with your negative terminal and a clean copper sheet to the positive terminal. Place the saltwater underneath both panels and you're done. You have your own solar power system powering your home and lowering your electric cost!
