Home Solar Power

The costs of solar panels and wind turbines is extremely high. It's money well spent, and you will, eventually have virtually free electricity.

However, if you build your own solar panels, and/or wind turbine(s), you can save a bundle. For less than $200, you can build either a solar panel, or a wind turbine out of commonly available materials, using just common hands tools.

Go to Renewable Solar and Wind Energy for all the information.

Although the following article maybe isn't directly related to solar power, I do think it is reflective of where our greed, and hunger for power has lead us. Being governed under these negative conditions has left us with a damaged planet that is need of our attention...now!

Since 1947, the organization Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) has used a 'Doomsday Clock' to symbolize figurative midnight, "how close humanity is to catastrophic destruction."

Originally used to portray the level of risk from the nuclear arms race, the clock now "encompasses climate change and developments in life sciences that could inflict irreparable harm." In 1953, the clock showed two minutes 'til midnight, reflecting the design and testing of the hydrogen bomb and the resulting escalation in the arms race. At
the height of the U.S./U.S.S.R. Cold War in 1984, the clock read three minutes 'til midnight to represent the enormous nuclear arsenals of both superpowers.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, however, the clock hand retreated to 17 minutes until midnight, under the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which greatly reduced the number of strategic nuclear weapons. Since then, however, the clock has continued to count down.

In January 2007, the hand of the clock was moved from seven to five minutes until midnight, and the clock report read:

2007: The world stands at the brink of a second nuclear age. The United States and Russia remain ready to stage a nuclear attack within minutes, North Korea conducts a nuclear test, and many in the international community worry that Iran plans to acquire the Bomb. Climate change also presents a dire challenge to humanity. Damage to ecosystems is already taking place; flooding, destructive storms, increased drought, and polar ice melt are causing loss of life and property.

The new nuclear agreement with India hasn't yet affected the clock. Only time will tell.

Head to Renewable Solar and Wind Energy to get all the information that you need to start building your own solar panels at home. It's solar power for nearly free.

There's also a method for building a cheap (less than $200) wind turbine so you can harness the power of the wind to generate electricity.

Building your own solar power system may well be the single biggest money saving change that you can make

Even if you just start out saving maybe $100 per month, that's still $1200 per year. That's a substantial amount of money to most people.

Of course it doesn't have to stop there. If you choose to keep adding to your start-up system, you can get to the point where all of your electricity is free!!

That would obviously make a huge difference in most people's lives. As mentioned earlier, it still doesn't have to stop there either. If you get your home power generator making a surplus of electricity, then you start pocketing money from the utility company.

There's just something that feels so good about that.

If you're ready to make one of the best financial decisions of your life, then go have a look at the information first hand at Renewable Solar and Wind Energy. I have no doubt you'll be building your own system very soon.

If you have the financial means to have a solar power system professionally installed, you can generate all the electricity that you need. The best part is...if you start 'on the grid', but are generating more power than you're using, the utility company buys it back from you!!

There's no better sight than seeing your electric meter running backwards.

If you do decide to go with a large commercial system, be prepared to lay out a very large sum of money.

Since many of us don't have that kind of money to put into a solar system at one time, building your own solar panels is the way to go.

You can keep updating the system as your finances allow.

To get started building your own solar power system, head over to Renewable Solar and Wind Energy to see how you can build you solar panels for less than $200!!
