Solar Power Your Home

The cost of a commercially installed solar system can easily get into the twenty thousands. At that high a price point it is very difficult to justify making the purchase. Recovering that amount would take near the life of the equipment. What if I told you that you can build your own solar panel for $200 or less? It's true and you can do it. At that price point it much easier to start solar powering your home. Once your system is sufficiently built up you can save hundreds of dollars on your power bill. Believe it or not its even possible to sell your excess power back to the power company for credits on your bills.

I built my first solar panel for less than $200 and I did it in a weekend. I was able to get most of the parts in my local area. The rest I ordered off the internet. I assembled everything myself without much trouble. Once it was all set up I connected it to the lights I use regularly during the day. Now those lights are completely off the grid. I am not paying anything for what I use to power them. I have since gone onto build more panels and the end result is significant reduction in my power bill. If I can do it you can to. I highly recommend doing this for anyone who owns a home that gets hit with sunlight.

I purchased a do it your self kit from solar-powered-home.us that came with full instructions on how to build a home solar powered systems. After reading that and watching a few of the included videos I came up with a simple plan and went about doing it. I ordered a few of the parts online and the rest I got from hardware stores in my area. The kit I used includes everything from parts lists to installation instructions. It makes it clear enough for anyone to do. I highly recommend this way even it your not a regular handyman.
