Homemade Solar Panels

Homemade Solar Panels are Easier Than You Think!

Building them yourself may be the best way to 'Go Green'! Saving Money is not a bad side effect either. By doing it yourself (DIY) you can save as much as $15,000 as opposed to buying them and having a professional installer put them in. No experience is required either.

The positives far outweigh the negatives when it comes to using solar energy. Unless of course you like sending money to the electric company every month. I know my panels have paid for themselves many times over in the past 7 years. IN FACT I HAVE ENJOYED SEVERAL BENEFITS FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND THE ELECTRIC COMPANY. You should check with your accountant and your electric company for all possible deductions and discounts.

So why should you use Solar for electricity?

  1. The sun is a renewable energy, Give mother earth a HUG!
  2. Your electric bill will become VERY small.
  3. The resale value of your home can only go up.
  4. Power outage???? What's that.
  5. If you have kids, it's just one more Educational tool.

Why shouldn't you use Solar energy(WHAAAT)?

  1. The area needs Sun. If you live at the south pole, not a good idea.
  2. Are considered to be a costly investment. Unless you DIY!!!!
  3. You live in a cave.

In this day and age it's critical that we all take an interest is reducing our carbon footprint. Not only that but every solar panel installed is one less barrel of oil needed from overseas. You do realize that electricity comes from OIL, right? So I feel good knowing that I have reduced my dependence on foreign oil.

So where do you get solar energy?

  1. Have a professional install them (I hope your rich)!
  2. Homemade solar panels (Now your cooking with gas)!
