The metal grill shown here are at my disposal and I was wondering if I can use them to make solar panels at home for home use. I have 2 of these but there are like 1x2ft.
I would really like some step by step help on this one.
Thanks.
I need electricity not a system that heats water.

You could. But keep in mind that the amount of heat that it can absorb is a function of the surface area exposed to sunlight. The condenser coil that you show would not be very effective.
Edit: The only way you could possibly generate electricity with those condenser is to heat water or some other fluid. There would be a copuple of methods after that. But none are going to be able to generate much. As I said, insufficient area to absorb sunlight.

Not even close if you want to generate electricity.
That setup would take a week to generate hot water!

There are some guides on the web for using refrigerator coils for hot water heating, but not for electricity generation, as far as I know. For electricity generation you need to make or buy solar cells. You also have to convert the electricity from DC to AC and have some sort of storage system in order for it to be useful.
I have put a link to a Mother Earth News article on using refrigerator coils for solar heating in the resource box. There’s also a link to my blog that has some information on making simple solar cells for electricity.
