If you remember back in the early 80’s, you may have started to see a few solar panels up on house roofs. Actually this was happening all across the country as people were beginning to realize that they could reduce their electric power bills using this new technology.
Today we are seeing it again but now not only to reduce power bills, but to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gases. However, the problem then and also today remains the high cost of installing home solar panels, but here’s a way around that high cost.
In the past buying already built solar panels would have cost you thousands of dollars and would have delayed you years from seeing any benefit in going solar. Today all you need is one of the step by step guides that are available on the Internet. You don’t need any special skills when using one of these guides and virtually anyone can now build their own homemade solar panel.
If you can operate a screwdriver, a hammer, and a small hand saw, you can now actually build your own solar panel. This makes putting solar power to work for you both inexpensive and easy which is causing a new wave of homeowners reducing or eliminating their monthly power bills and seeing a quick return on their investment.
Once you have made up your mind to build your own panel and you picked up one of the step by step manuals and discovered just how easy this is, it will be time to decide on how many solar panels you will be building. Of course the more panels you build, the more energy you will generate from the sunlight falling on your roof. So the size of your roof and the facing direction may limit the number of panels.
For maximum benefit, the panels should face the south (in the northern hemisphere) and not be under any shade for most of the day. So altogether your roof area and your budget will decide on the number of solar panels you can build.
If you’re lucky enough to have have plenty of roof area and sunlight, you can then sell any extra energy you generate back to your local power company. In fact, I know a person with solar panels covering his carport and using only a grid tie inverter. On almost any sunny day you can stand and watch his electric meter run backwards for hours as his system generates more power than he uses.
So there are many benefits to building your own homemade solar panels. Going green can save you money and give you lots to talk about to your friends and neighbors not to mention the sense of satisfaction you will get from building your own.
