subject: Building Your Own Solar Power System [print this page] The media has warned us time and time again about the possibility of an impending energy crisis and with the growing carbon gases and a greater than ever need for power it's time we begin paying attention and doing something about it.
The sun is renewable energy that will hopefully be around for a very long time, so solar energy is a prime option for helping to cut energy costs.
For only two hundred dollars anyone can create their own home solar power systems. A system of batteries is what stores the energy collected by solar panels that turns the energy into electricity.
When doing research about solar power and wind power the questions that come up the most often is "Just exactly how do these two work?"
Pictures and directions for setting up your own solar power system comes included in the set up package with the blueprints containing several types of arrangements, and of course, the solar panels (100 watts each). Finding your materials.
Generating solar electricity is environmentally safe and quite feasible when one uses solar electric cells.
The way to save a lot of money on your solar power system is to use three by six foot solar cells, made specifically to be exposed to the sun in order to collect solar electricity, for each panel.
This what creates D.C. (also called direct current) and D.C. voltages that are stored in and charged for batteries or being changed into the normal 120 VAC (or volt alternating current).
When you buy a solar energy kit, you will also receive very specified directions on how to create each solar panel. The directions are uncomplicated and written in plain English so you won't need prior experience or knowledge to build your own solar panels from a kit.
You'll feel good about doing something positive for the environment while reducing your electric costs once you have your solar panels set up on your home.
