Why Build Your Own Solar Panels?
Solar energy is the buzz word now , with the worries about global warming and the large scale pollution creates by the consumption of carbon based fuels in the generation of main stream electricity, and the upwardly rising cost of the fuels themselves.
Until relatively recently the efficient use of PV cells to generate a practical solar power resource for the DIY sector , was limited . However in recently the expertise has grown to such a stage that it is not unreasonable to ask why make your own “homemade solar panels?”
This is my list my 5 simple reasons that should make the process easy and very cost effective for you.
1) Great manuals & Videos – use one of the better online instructional products. The recommended kits come with complete instructions and videos, also contained in the packs will be your first savings – they will tell you where you can buy the parts you need for the project, often locally , at discount prices.
2) A complete set of plans & calculate how many panels you will need – The package will also give you the plans and show you how to calculate how many panels you will need , the best position for you to locate them and what wiring and ancillary equipment you will need to store the energy you produce that is not needed for immediate use. This is the second saving as you will not need professional services to plan your system and homemade solar panels
3) Assembly following the step by step insructions - These instructional kits and videos will take you step by step through the method of assembling the panels. This is the step where you make considerable savings , commercial panels will cost $1000′ s more than you will pay out to make your own panels of identical effecieny
4) Save money – once you have completed your system using the guides and videos, you will not only have a tried and tested system that will give you big savings on your utility bills, but also a possible source of income*, by selling your surplus back to the electric company.
5) Business opportunity – Once you have made your own system, you canuse the skill and practical experience you have gained , by building your own system, to build and market completed solar panels in your area .
(*source of income, you can sell your unwanted power to the utility company, but this saving is only available to you if you build a sufficiently sized system that will allow you to produce more than you need.)
The cost of installing a professional solar system is estimated to be over $20,000, following the instructions you will be able to make your own solar panels for about $150 per panel , so as you build you save.
Thebest benefit comes once the system is in operation , the electricity you produce comes from a naturally renwable Free energy source, so the power costs younothing to produce . Once you have recovered the cost of the build , which will be quicker than you think, you will have free electricity from then on.
Five great reasons why it would pay to have your own ”homemade solar panels“, whatever you skill level you can achieve great things by following these step by step instructions.
