Making your own solar and wind power for less than $200 It's importantto understand that the average residential home consumes about 300 watts of power per day, and to have enough solar panels 'commercially made and fitted'to meet that demand would generally cost you between $10,000-$20,000, which puts it out of the financial reach of the average mum & dad homeowner. Not only that, but the return on the investment can also take a very long time to justify the expense, and often the panels need to be replaced by the time the payoff is achieved. There isgood news. Many people aren't aware that building Solar Power panels themselves is not a complex task.Anyone who can wield a hammer, or use a drill is able to start building solar power panels for their own home over a weekend as a DIY Project, and complete the whole project for usually less than $200. To undertake such a DIY weekend project usually requires the following items to begin building your own solar power panels; Metal scissors, Sandpaper, Motor, Tower, Electrical stove, Copper leads, Copper flashing sheet, Silicon caulk, Glass, & Plywood. Many of these will be readily available either in your garage already, or from a local Hardware store.
