There are several options for building your own residential solar power system but I used Earth4Energy. As I said earlier, they provide instructions for both residential solar panels and homemade windmill systems. There is a material check list so you know exactly what you need and where to buy it, plus helpful pictures and images to help you along the way. I spent a total of $187.00 for the materials needed and had the solar panel built, installed and running in one day. Building the solar panels costs a little more than building a windmill system. The windmill system runs about $125.00 in materials but you need room in your yard for the windmill. I am actually building a wind power system so I have double the ammount of solar power and can sell the portion I do not use back to my utility company!!
