The present economic scenario and the ever-shrinking state of the global oil reserves is not good news for everyone. But on a positive note it makes us investigate alternative energy sources. It has become more and more economical to build a home made solar energy system. Building the home made solar panels that utilize deep cell storage batteries produce the electricity upon consumer demand and reduce the their individual dependence on the country’s energy grid.

Let me start by explaining what the advantages of using solar power are:

• Green energy solution: When you look at the solar energy solution, you will realize that it uses absolutely no fuel other than the sun’s light. Moreover, it does not release into the atmosphere anything harmful.

• Cheapest power solution: First, the energy comes free. Then, the installation cost is a one-time cost. Finally, the investment is recovered within a few years of installation, making the power generated by solar energy absolutely free.

• Convenience of storage: You cannot store conventional power but you can store solar power for future use. The sun’s energy comes to rescue even in the times of darkness! Storing it also ensures a 24x7 supply of power, thus saving you from any power outage.

• Low on maintenance: The solar energy systems are easy to maintain. They do not involve high costs or too much effort, thus letting you reap the benefits of the solution comfortably.

Due to the cheap costs it has become more and more popular for people to build their own solar panels. They are also easy to build without the need for a vast amount of tools and materials.

There are vast savings to be made in your electricity bills (they can be reduced by 80% or even eliminated completely) which is another reason more and more people are choosing to build their own solar panels. If you make more electricity than you need it can be sold make to the electricity companies, so you are not only saving money but also making money. Another way you could make money is by building the solar panels for $200 and selling them for $500 making a profit of $300.

So just think about it, professional solar panels cost $1000,s but the average solar panel takes less that $200 dollars to make. You also don’t suffer from power cuts.

The solar power system is portable so it can be taken with you when you go camping.

So what are the advantages of making your own electricity?

>

>

1. You'll save hundreds, if not thousands on your power bill. Electricity prices are rising and according the US Department of Energy they will continue to raise.

>

2. With easy to follow instructions you can make renewable power for less than $200, why wouldn't you!

>

3. Make extra money by having the electricity company pay your, plus you can start a side business and build systems for your local area and sell them for a profit; we will give you all the tools you need.

>

4. Right now, over 90% of US energy consumption is from non-renewable sources including foreign oil, once we start making our own power, we won't have to rely on foreign countries for energy.

>

5. Help reverse global warming, by generating your own energy you'll reduce demands on carbon producing coal energy plants, we all need to do our part so we can leave a safe world for our children.

>

6. Choose to be a leader in your community and share this money and environment saving information with your friends, family and neighbours.

>

7. You'll be able to spend your savings on other more important things!

Reading all of the above I can see no advantage in not wanting to make your own solar panels. I have found this useful guide which gives you all the plans and more in videos to explain how you can make your own solar panels, create your own solar energy and also if you want to make your own windmill.
