The buzz word lately is solar energy , with concerns about green house gases and the large scale emisions made by the consumption of carbon based fuels in the generation of main stream electricity, and the ever rising cost of the fuels themselves.
Until comparatively recently the effective use of Photovoltiac cells to produce a practical solar electricity resource for the DIY sector , was inadequate . But in recently the technology has grown to such a degree that it is not unreasonable to ask why make your own “homemade solar panels?”
I have listed here my five simple reasons that will make the route easy and very cost effective for you.
1) Detailed manuals & Videos – use one of the better online instructional products. The best kits come with step by step instructions and videos, also included in the packs will be your first savings – they will tell you where to buy the materials you will have to purchase for the project, often inyour area , at discounted prices.
2) A full set of plans & calculate number of panels – The kit will also give you the plans and explain how to calculate how many panels you will require , where they need to be placed and what wiring and ancillary equipment you will need to store the energy you make that is not required 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 manuals and videos will take you step by step through the method of building the panels. This is the step where you make considerable savings , retail 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 a substantial saving on your electricity bills, but also a possible source of income*, by selling your surplus back to the utility company.
5) Business opportunity – Once you have made your own system, you can utilize the skill and practical experience you have acquired , by working on your own system, to make and market completed solar panels locally .
(*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 retail solar system is something over $20,000, you will have the ability to build your own solar panels for about $150 each , so as you build you save.
The greatest benefit comes once the system is in operation , the energy you produce is from an abundant Free energy source, so the power costs you zero to produce . Once you have got back the cost of the construction , which will be sooner 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.
