Learn How to Build Your Own Solar Electric System to Power Your Home

In 1999, I laid out over thirty thousand dollars (in 1999 dollars) for a solar electric setup large enough to operate my small house. It included forty, 75-watt solar panels costing about $400 each. Today, you can put together larger, more efficient panels for less than half that (in today's dollars) if you are willing to do the labor yourself.



You can do this even if you have no experience with solar electric setups. It is worth your time because not only will you be considerably reducing the initial price but you will, at the same time, be cutting back the "pay-back" time, meaning the time period of benefiting from free electricity required to justify the initial price.



You can fabricate a small, inexpensive system to lower the amount of power you have to purchase from the electric company or a more high-priced system that will take you completely off the grid. You may even be able to sell any excess power back to the power utility by forcing your electric meter to run in reverse.



To accomplish this, you don't need to be an electrical genius. You don't even have to be a handyman. All you require is proper instruction to be taught how to do this efficiently and easily. You will have fun completing this and you will be compensated in terms of pride and savings for your labor. The detailed, clear instructions you will require are now available to you at a very low cost. Included are step-by-step videos to demonstrate to you precisely how to do it.



Utilizing this guide, you can easily construct solar panels from sixty to one hundred twenty watts in size. The bigger the individual panel wattage, the fewer panels you’ll require to complete the job. The guide will show you where to buy the panels you’ll need at the lowest possible prices. You can even locate some of the items for free and the guide will show you where to look for those.



You’ll be instructed how to acquire the items you are required to pay for at the lowest possible prices. This benefit alone can cover the low cost of the guide many times over. This guide includes clear, easy-to-follow directions, schematics and diagrams: everything you’ll need, right at your fingertips. You also have access to an extensive library of step-by-step videos on the subject so you can see clearly exactly how to complete each step.



There are three parts to the overall guide. First, is the DIY Guide which explains the step-by-step process of building your own solar power system. It even demonstrates where to obtain "free" solar panels. It tells you all you’ll need to know about maintaining your new solar electrical system. You’ll be taught all you need to know about disconnects, controllers, inverters, batteries and the like.



Second, another DIY Guide teaches you what you’ll need to know when making your own solar panels from the start. This includes making the panels themselves and hooking them into an array to power your system. You’ll find how you can construct a solar panel for as little as ninety-eight dollars, or even less.



Third, The DIY Guide Bundle talks about installing and mounting the panels you have made and wiring your solar electric system together. It even shows you how to conduct your own "energy audit" to expose your home’s major energy wasters.



A bonus guide demonstrates how to make your own wind turbine to charge your batteries at night or on overcast days. This will cost you only about one hundred forty dollars in parts.



The biggest barriers to converting to residential solar electric power has, in the past, been the initial cost and the "payback" time required to justify the cost in exchange for having free electric power. Now, you will be able to slash the initial cost and, simultaneously, greatly lower the "payback" time you will have to have to justify your expenses.



Finally, if you are worried you might get stuck and want one-on-one help at any point in the procedure, a support forum is available to answer any concerns you could have. Even though you probably won’t have to use it, it’s nice to be certain it’s there.

Begin today on making your own solar electric system! Stop wasting money and polluting the atmosphere by forcing the electric company to burn more fossil fuels to keep the lights burning in your household. Free yourself from expensive monthly electric bills and enjoy doing it!
