DIY Solar Panels - Can I Really Build Solar Panels For My Home?
Is it really possible for me to build DIY solar panels for my home? That, my friend, is a very good question. I asked myself the same question awhile back as well. I thought the only way to get solar panels on my roof was to have a professional team come and install them, and I wasn't willing to shell out a couple grand for that.
But then I started skimming around on the Internet and kept seeing sites dedicated to DIY solar panels. I saw a lot of DIY guides about how to make solar panels. The idea was very intriguing to me; I've always loved do-it-yourself projects, and it looked like it was definitely possible. Most of the guides I was seeing talked about being able to build your own solar panel system for under $200, which seemed hard to believe, but I was willing to give it a shot.
Sooo....after comparing and reviewing several different DIY solar panel guides (Power 4 Home, Earth 4 Energy, Green DIY Energy, Homemade Energy, etc) I settled upon Green DIY Energy as my DIY solar panel instruction manual. It cost me $50, but I wasn't too worried about it, since it came with a money-back guarantee.
I was EXTREMELY pleased when I downloaded Green DIY Energy and checked out the manuals and videos. I had chosen Green DIY Energy because they had more tutorial videos than any other guide, and I was a little worried that they weren't going to be all they were cracked up to be. I was half expecting the videos to look like homemade videos with some Joe Schmoe fumbling about his backyard with the old family camcorder.
But, I was very pleasantly surprised when I watched the videos; they were professionally done, and the host was very knowledgeable and easy to follow. The videos pretty much followed his DIY solar panel construction process, so everything I needed to do was laid out in front of me.
So, the DIY solar panel guide definitely was legit, I was so glad I spent the extra $50 on it, definitely worth it. I encourage anyone who enjoys DIY projects and wants to reduce their monthly energy bills to give DIY solar panels a go. Purchase a guide and go for it!
