I am looking at building my own solar panels to at least help cut down the rising energy bill. I know its expensive. I already have the solar cells so no need to worry about listing that. But i am looking at wiring it directly into the house. Is there any parts that you could list for me, that would be great. thanks
Most likely, your local power utility will prohibit you from connecting homemade panels to their grid, but if you had a commercial panel, you would use a grid-tied inverter such as shown here http://www.enphaseenergy.com/ . If you had an array of 10 or more panels, it would usually be cheaper to get a single, large inverter.
The usual path taken with homemade panels seems to be using them to charge a battery, then running things of the battery. And it’s usually a fun thing to do, but not a way to save money. Just so you know.
I am thinking about changing my career and be a salesman of solar energy electricity system. What kind of class I can take to become more knowelegeble? Or if I go back to college, which major should I be choose in order to get in this field?
You don’t need to go back to college, unless you want to become an engineer working on designing new solar systems. I would look for local solar installers and talk to them. If you live in the southwest US, California, New Jersey, Japan, Germany or Spain you might have a better chance because these are the largest markets for solar power.
I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills. It was written by a Renewable energy enthusiasts Michael Harvey the diy called Earth4energy. You can get your copy to save energy and help environment while eliminating your power bills.

help me out!! What are the challenges rural Electric cooperatives face when the government faces for green energy.
Funding. Scale. Zoning restrictions. Practicality.

What enviromental problems are caused by Solar Energy and what is the idea for the cost of say, one solar panel?
The pros of solar energy are abundant; here are a few from Natural Home magazine. Solar power can be ties to a grid or stand alone and it increases the home’s value. Not only does it have moveable parts, but also emits no waste. There are tax incentives that are widely available and experienced installers readily available nationwide.
A few of the disadvantages of solar power are trees, and location. If you or your neighbors have mature trees that shade your roof, solar power panels may be difficult.

That has a small, reliable, solar panel powered portable charger and parts that can charge an ipod or cell phone. And can somebody explain the parts of a solar panel and how it works? PLEASE!
check amazon, you can pay through a checking account and they have many things. I think the parts should be a separate question…

I need to know how much money it would cost to supply the entire united states with kinetic, wind, solar, and hydro-electric energy THANKS!!!!
Concentrating solar energy collectors with liquid salt heat storage for nights and cloudy days would need to cover about a 100 mile square area in a desert location to power the entire US including transportation. The total estimate for that to be built is around 10-12 trillion $$. If you figure we buy 100 billion $$ worth of oil each year from foreign countries, spent upwards of $1 trillion on a useless war in a region rich in oil (don’t tell me oil had nothing to do with our being there, I don’t believe that) and will spend another $1 trillion paying for the health care of those wounded in that war, made enough enemies so we will have to spend another $1 trillion over the next few years fighting the muslims in the mideast and destroying our environment while making millions sick at a huge cost to the economy by continuing to burn coal I think $10 trillion would be a pretty good bargain.
