At Home Solar Power
Building your own solar panels can be a fun and easy way to do a lot of good for the world. It can also do a lot of good for your monthly electric bill. I’ve heard of cases where people were actually getting paid for adding energy to the grid, after they’ve met all of their own energy needs. Installing solar panels can be easy and affordable if you plan right. One of our neighbors just put up an RV solar panel system last week.
Most people see the benefits of having a solar system, but they pale when they see the $25,000 dollar price tag. On the other hand, a few people have discovered that they can build their own solar panels, and save a ton of money, and gain all the benefits of solar power. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Find an instruction manual. Seriously, just spend fifty bucks for quality instruction. It will be worth thousands to you in the future. With the amount of heartache and wasted time you save, this is one investment that will easily pay for itself. Stay away from YouTube instructional videos, those people don’t know what they’re talking about.
2. Order the solar cells online. A solar cell is the main component of the panel, the surface which actually converts light into electricity. It’s possible to make these yourself, but that’s more of a science project than something which is going to be a reliable power source. Solar Cells are widely available, and cost less than $100 each.
3. Take a trip to the hardware store. Everything else you need is going to cost you around $30 per panel. Some people suggest that it will cost even less. Your manual should have detailed instructions on specifically what you need. You’ll also have to pick up the electronics you need to convert your energy into standard 120V AC power.
4. Build them! I’ve found this to be a fantastic family event, we’ve really enjoyed the time we spent together building the system. You could also invite the neighbors over and do it like a barn-raising. Whatever you like, but this part should be fun.
So there it is in four steps. You could literally have your home running entirely on solar power by the end of the week for under $1,000 total! Eliminate you power bills (or even get paid for extra energy!) and do something that’s good for you and good for the earth.
