Have you thought of building a DIY solar panel for your home? Many homeowners have done it and are no longer concerned about the ever-increasing electricity bills. This is because they have made their own solar energy panel.

You can indeed create this source of renewable energy at home. These days, guides on DIY solar panels are readily available in bookstores and on the Internet. There must be so many it becomes difficult to know which one to buy. Surely not all of them are good. So what should you be looking for?

The best place to start your research is on the Internet. Many websites are replete with instructional manuals and construction plans to help you build a solar panel that can last for decades. You need to be cautious though, because not every resource is reliable. Of those that are reliable, not all are easily understood.

Most guides are stuffed full with fillers so a book that’s really worth 20 pages of content can be sold for the price of a book with 150 pages! A good DIY guide is a diamond in the rough – you need to spend effort to find it. Here are 5 points to keep in mind as you begin your search:

1. The guide should be easy to understand, with technical jargon made clear and simple enough for your grandma to understand. Good guides have step-by-step instructions that are fully illustrated. In this way, you can follow each step with confidence even if you’re new to DIY work. After all, if you bought a guide that you don’t understand or is too difficult to follow, what are your chances of building a DIY solar panel?

2. A good guide includes professionally-made videos that instruct you exactly what to do. When you have a video showing you every single detail, chances are you’ll be successful in building your own solar energy panel. Even if you don’t understand the material at first, it takes less effort to review a video than read a book stuffed with theories and equations.

3. Many products on the Internet offer an unconditional money back guarantee — it reveals volumes about the quality of the product. You should expect to have this as well.

4. Technical support should be available via phone or email. Even with the best instructional guide on earth, there will be questions in your mind that remains unanswered. Experts can solve your problem much faster than when you try to figure things out yourself.

5. Finally, the price of the material should not cost more than a hundred dollars. But this is not the most important factor as good materials pay for themselves quickly. If you think good guides cost a lot, wait till you buy a bad one.

With a good instructional guide, you can build your own solar energy panels easily. And you’ll be able to save tons of money that would otherwise be used to pay for electricity bills.
