My brother will be demolishing his house and I could probably get a panel from his house to use.
Any ideas on what to do to use it?

Check the specs on the back to see what max voltage and amps it puts out. You'll need a solar controller (Jaycar electrics) of the same voltage and more than enough input to handle the panels amp output, wired (with appropriate size cables) from the Pos and Neg terminals to the controller.
From there wire the controller to a deep cycle battery(s) for storage.
I use Century "truck and farm" They are technically NOT deep cycle but are built with heavier, wider plates than standard similar to deep cycle marine.
