Hobbyists and makers often want to experiment with renewable energy but face high costs and complexity in sourcing materials. A DIY kit using microwave-based fabrication methods could simplify the process, enabling enthusiasts to create small panels at home. Sell kits directly to makerspaces and online communities. Start with a basic kit for creating small panels, then expand with advanced materials and designs. The biggest risk is ensuring safety and scalability with microwave-based fabrication.
