subject: Save Tens Of Thousands With Homemade Solar Panels [print this page] Every day it makes far more financial sense to live off the grid. Stop buying energy from utility companies. Up until now that was a pretty nutty idea. These days it really is making far more sense than ever mainly because of advancements in technology. You don't need to be a science nerd to assemble your very own solar electrical power system and quit paying utility bills for good.
What's going on with our electric power? Several years ago in Southern California we dealt with "rolling brown outs." To save energy, the electrical power companies periodically turned off electric power in various areas for a brief time, fifteen minutes to an hour. As oil becomes much more costly and coal fired power plants are closed, it is easy to foresee the "rolling brown out" becoming part of life. If you make your own power at no cost to you with solar panels, you will never need to worry about that.
The cost of residential solar energy has come down to almost nothing for those willing to build their own panels. Think about it. Once you see a solar panel diagram, you are going to see it's not at all complicated. There aren't any moving parts, no precise tolerances like in a car's engine and no impossible to reach places. Assembling a solar panel is just following directions like putting together model airplane. Although commercial solar panels can still cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to buy, you'll be able to construct a quality diy solar panel for under $200. Recover your investment quickly and minimize your bills right away.
Aside from making life much better for yourself and your family, you'll be making life much better for everyone by using fewer fossil fuels. Where ever you stand on the global warming issue, everyone wants to breath clean air. When you get energy from the sun to power your residence, you will save money and help your community too. It really is a win-win for everybody.
