Green DIY Energy – Home Solar Power Guide
With the high cost of energy, both financially and environmentally, green energy is becoming more and more popular. Unfortunately, due to high costs and the fact that green energy options aren’t widely available, many people have little choice but to use the traditional sources of energy that are available.
I want to introduce you to an alternative which is low cost, you can do yourself – even with little or no experience, will allow you to save you money on your power bill, and reduce your carbon footprint. I am talking about a DIY solar energy guide which will take you through the necessary steps for creating your own solar panels.
One of the biggest barriers to solar power for the average person is the cost. In order to set up the average house on solar power it is estimated that it would cost over $25,000. It has been said that it is like paying for the next 20 years of electricity up front. Sure, you will recover your costs eventually but the average person can’t afford this kind of initial investment.
With the techniques available on the “Green DIY Energy” site you can make your own panels for as little as $200. While it may take several panels to power your house you can see that it is significantly cheaper than paying someone to install it for you.
You may think making your own solar power cells must be difficult. It turns out that it isn’t. In fact, with the Green DIY Energy guide you will get:
- Detailed step-by-step instructions (that practically anyone can follow)
- Diagrams and schematics
- Helpful resources (so you aren’t just left on your own)
- Even the most difficult solar panel construction methods have been distilled down to simple and easy steps
In fact, if you take a look at the site, you can read how a 12 year old was able to follow the instructions and put together his own solar panel.
Once you have created your own solar panel you can start saving money. By using the sun’s energy, which is always available (ok, maybe not when it rains but you get the idea), you can reduce, or even eliminate, your dependence on the power company. You can imagine how this would impact your monthly utility bill.
In addition to all the benefits I’ve already mentioned, you will be doing the earth a favor by reducing your carbon footprint. By using the clean green energy provided by the sun you won’t be adding to the existing environmental problems caused by coal power plants (air pollution), nuclear plants (radioactive waste), or hydro power (impact on local eco-systems).
If you are interested in alternative energy and are searching for a low cost way to get started then you should look into this – you have an excellent opportunity to cut down on your power bills while helping the environment.
