Why pay for expensive electricity when you can build your own solar power system and save a fortune!
Today, you are going to learn the first steps on how to build a solar power system that will help you beat oil price increases and slash your electricity bill to pieces. With a bit of work, you could even have your power company paying you instead of you sending your hard-earned money off to them every month.
The first step to building a solar power system is to determine whether your property receives enough sunlight to make it worth your while installing one. In general, most areas are suitable, but if you live somewhere where you are in near perpetual darkness, or it is usually overcast, or raining/hailing heavily, you probably shouldn't install one. Of course the sunnier the area you live in the better, but most people will benefit from having a solar panel.
Step two is to purchase a set of blueprints/instructions that will show you what parts you need to purchase for your solar power system, how to assemble them, and then how to install them in a safe, correct manner. There are free plans on the Internet, but generally they are for low-power applications like running single appliances and are not worth the effort, except as a fun weekend project to do with the kids. Plans aren't particularly expensive- my recommended set of them costs under $50, and also includes advice on how to build your own wind turbine to give you even greater electricity bill reductions.
Perhaps the best thing about using a good set of blueprints, plans and instructions is the fact that you will be able to build a solar power system that will allow you to either store excess electricity, for use at night or on days with very little sunlight. What's even better is the fact that you can also sell your excess electricity back to your power company- rather than you paying them, they have to pay you. Basically, your home will become a solar energy power plant!
You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on material from the hardware store , the task of building a solar power system can be done within a small budget of $200 or less. DIY solar panels can power up to 80% of your home and business electrical needs depending on the power demands and dimensions of the house. Using solar power systems can help you save thousands in the long run.
If you choose to use solar power as a source of energy not only will you save money but make a significant contribution to the earth’s environment and prevent the destruction of our planet. Having solar power system s is a great way to show your doing your bit for the planet.
So where can I find the information on how to build a solar power system? Well, like I said before, there's a wealth of information on the internet but this can pose a problem as it might take a few days to gather the plans and instructions on how to make a solar power system plus some websites might differ on the methods used. That's when an all-in-one step by step installation guide comes into picture.
Earth 4 Energy - is a very complete package including both DIY solar and wind projects in one. It includes pdf ebooks and videos for solar and wind.
