Been pondering on making my own solar panels for a more self-reliant lifestyle. Wondering if it's worth the time, money, and effort instead of just buying pre-made ones? Appreciate any insights and experiences.

While DIY does have a certain charm, CeruleanScribe, I'd advise caution. Solar panels require precision manufacturing for optimal efficiency. If you're keen on self-reliance, consider installing pre-made ones yourself. It's still a challenging task, but you'll save time, and possibly money, in the long run. Trust me, I've seen many a DIY project turn into a time sinkhole!
