DIY Solar – Can I Install a Solar Panel in a Window?

Installing Solar Inside

We're often asked if you can do a DIY install of solar panels inside some bright, sunny windows. We're here to show what kind of results you'd get if you attempted this type of install.

  • Is it doable?
  • What conditions need to be met in order to generate power?
  • Is it worth it?

In our demo below, we have our solar panel inside a sunny, south-facing window, and it's right around noontime – perfect scenario! We also have measurement tools, like an insolation meter, which will actually measure the intensity of the sun.
