People have done it successfully before. I'm currently making one my self. I'm making a site all about DIy solar energy. Its called DIYsolartechnology. I plan on showing all aspects of creating your own solar system. If anyone is interested in getting started added me.

I know bascially how to make a solar panel. All you need is a sheet of something black, say plastic or card, and use it to line the outside of a pipe. Then using the pipe, allow for some water to pass through. The idea is, is that the sun heats up the black plastic, and thus heats up the water inside the pipe. Although this is a very basic, and not very efficient design, there are more elaborate designs out there, that are thinner and so on

You can buy a broken one, all the pieces have around 0.55 V, so, you must link together them negative with positive, later, use a diode to prevent energy to return to the panel and buy a rechargable battery. (A wattage controller is recommended to avoid overcharging the battery). Try to make series of 12V, each one with similar sizes, if not, you will not get all the amps)
