Make Your Own Solar Panels And Eliminate Your Electricity Bill
Creating your own homemade electricity by making and installing solar panels, has never made more sense. A permanent means of eliminating your electricity bill in these questionable times would - just make sense - that is. And it's not nearly as hard as you might think.
Commercially produced and installed solar panels will undoubtedly cause it to become years before you can realize a profit on your initial investment. However, if your willing to do a little research and take up this fun and fulfilling temporary hobby, with a minimal investment you can be reaping the financial rewards that home generated electricity provides, in as little as six months. In other words, you'll be off the grid and have made your money back!
There are basically four things you need to do to be well on your way to the completion of this very worthwhile endeavor, that will literally supply you with thousands of dollars each year in free electricity.
1. Research and buy a good - how to manual - on building and installing home solar panels. There are several on the internet that have exact instructions including step by step videos.
2. Take the list of materials they provide for construction and installation, and decide the best course of action for acquiring and gathering them all together at your home.
3. Start assembling the panels in your spare time - either in your garage or yard. Store them inside until they're completed.
4. Pick a weekend, preferably when there's going to be good weather, get together a few friends, and have some fun. Promise em you'll help them with installing theirs whenever they're ready, or maybe just supply some entertaining diversions - and make it a party! If you feel totally inept at hooking the wiring from the panels into your main electrical system even after watching the videos, then have an electrician come over for the final phase.
That's pretty much it. My first attempt at this process took under two months and I was really unorganized, but I installed a wind turbine at the same time. Anyway that was quite a few years ago and is a great story, for another day. Long story short and bottom line, nowadays is the best time ever, as the technology for solar panels has continuously increased, and the availability of materials is at it's peak. You can realistically build solar panels with a punch, for under two hundred bucks a pop.
I've never regretted going through the process and am so impressed with the newer technology, that I'm considering upgrading my panels and possibly my wind turbine as well. Even still my electric bills are a joke and there are a couple of months out of the year when I should be getting a check back from the electric company. What's the reason I don't? Well that's another detail I'll have to save for another day.
All in all, if this is something your considering, I would definitely encourage you to follow through. It's simple and fun to do, and I must say it was one of the more rewarding home improvements I have ever undergone. The most satisfying part was I did most of it on my own, with just a little assistance from friends and family. It just feels so good making your own pollution free electricity and eliminating your electric bill? Well all I can say is - It's one great way of sticking it to the man.
