Have you ever really thought about how ridiculous it is that we have a huge system that costs billions of dollars to give us electricity, when we have all the electricity we could ever need falling around us all the time? Imagine if we started to take a fraction of it. Everybody has heard of solar panels, but few people realize just how cheap and easy it can be to create 100% clean, free, renewable energy all the time. My neighbors just last week built a set of RV solar panel just last.
Unfortunately, most people never get past the price tag when they look at home systems. That’s because professional companies have realized they can charge a fortune because of all the money they save homeowners. It can cost more than $25,000 to install solar panels on your home. Fortunately for you, it’s entirely possible to build your own system. You’re only four steps away:
1. Buy a good instruction manual. I can’t emphasize this enough. Unless you’re already an expert, you probably won’t be able to pull this off with nothing more than a 4 minute YouTube clip. Installing this system is going to save you thousands; don’t skimp on 50 bucks upfront that will make the difference between a functioning system or not.
2. Find the solar cells online. This is the core of the solar panel, the surface which actually turns sunlight into electricity. If you want to make your own as a science project, it can be really fun and entertaining, but if you’re trying to produce power, better just to buy them. The cost about $70 per panel.
3. Take a trip to the hardware store. Everything else you need is going to cost you around $30 per panel. Some people suggest that it will cost even less. Your manual should have detailed instructions on specifically what you need. You’ll also have to pick up the electronics you need to convert your energy into standard 120V AC power.
4. Build them! I’ve found this to be a fantastic family event, we’ve really enjoyed the time we spent together building the system. You could also invite the neighbors over and do it like a barn-raising. Whatever you like, but this part should be fun.
So there it is in four steps. You could literally have your home running entirely on solar power by the end of the week for under $1,000 total! Eliminate you power bills (or even get paid for extra energy!) and do something that’s good for you and good for the earth.
