Building Solar Panels For Your Home

Today taking steps to protect our environment and cut back on fossil fuels usage is becoming a very important topic for many people. People ask “what can we do?” Most people work 40 hours a week and don’t have a lot of time to volunteer, especially if you have kid’s. It would be nice if people were able to allocate time to helping the environment, but that’s not possible for most. So what can we do? How about Building our own Solar Panels!
Even with people striving to making a positive influence on the environment with their time, this still doesn’t help stop the number one environmental problem we have: our dependence on fossil fuels.
Every one has the chance to cut back on non renewable energy use if that’s what they
they want to. And the really nice thing about it is they can eliminate their electric bill!
A large problem with "going solar" is that the cost of having solar panels installed is to expensive for most home owners. Homeowners having to finance $10,000 to $25,000 to have solar panels installed professionally, only to have to wait almost two decades for them to pay for them selves is quite unrealistic.
Many homeowners can’t afford to buy or finance new systems. They are building simple
solar panels them selves. There are quite a few guides available that will teach you how to build panels for under two hundred dollars, and they will pay for themselves within a few months instead of years.
I have purchased several over the years to compare and evaluate to see what you get for your money. The only one I have found to be complete, from A to Z is Efficient Planet!
You will get a complete blueprint on to build solar panels, How to hook them up ( Please have a qualified electrician do this for you ), plus how to build a wind turbine and The Living Green Bible. It is worth more than the money you will pay for it (Around 50.00 when I bought mine ).
In what would be a nice weekend project, you can build your own solar panels,
install them, and incorporate them into the electric grid. Most electric utilizes will even help you with incorporating them into their grid.
Now can stop paying those large electric bills buy doing it your self.
Every homeowner that has a free weekend and can go to the hardware store should make It a point to try building their own solar panels.
