Building Your Own Solar Panels
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011Hi,
My name is Michael, I am 46 years old and live in Utah. I wanted to share with you my story of how I made my own solar panels for home
Quite a while back, I began looking into DIY solar panels. Like you, I started out having an online search checking out how I could reduce costs with solar electricity because of the sky rocketing price of my electricity bill and looked at it as a good way to reduce my carbon footprint
I was stunned to find out just how much it cost to get solar panels set up at my house! I definitely did not have that kind of funds, not even close. I was thinking I may need to get use to the thought of paying the electric company forever
I explored the internet for several days and simply became more confused by all of the so named experts offering’s. I couldn’t find a clear set of instructions that would get me from beginning to end without having a need to invest in other reference material.
I came across an expensive training course offered on the internet that I just couldn’t find the money for at the time and hardly had enough cash for any materials I might be needing for my solar panels
At some point I found my way onto an online forum and found some members talking about an easy to understand guide with step-by-step instructions that they had found and were using to build their very own systems. From what they were saying it sounded like it was everything I was trying to find. I quickly went to the site, yes this really is it! I had found it
They had all of the steps with pictures and diagrams to explain to you how everything was done plus they also had a video clip library
In the end I built my very own solar panels for just a small fraction of the money necessary for new solar panels and it wasn’t hard in any way to make my own solar panels.
They had handy tips on where I to obtain the cheapest materials from. Because of the amount of money I ended up saving, I was able to put much more solar panels on my roof which meant a lot more cost savings on my electricity bill.
This very same method has been tried by students who constructed DIY solar panels without having the help of their mothers and fathers or teachers.
The solar panels have more than payed for themselves and when you have produced far more electricity than you make use of, it is possible to sell that back to the electricity company.
My family and friends at first didn’t believe how simple and affordable it was for me to set up my very own home solar panels and for the same reasons I initially had, they thought they never could afford to have them installed . It looks like I have my work cut out for me this year as I’ll be busy helping a few friends go green as well
Thanks Brian at GreenDIYenergy.com for making Solar Power affordable for everyone
