Joseph Sawvel asked:
If you live in a sunny state, you have a natural resource you can take advantage of. Many individuals would like to build a solar system, but they just don?t live in the "right" area for it. If you live in an area with abundant renewable resources, consider yourself lucky. You have a free resource right in your backyard.
However, a new professionally installed, solar system can cost thousands of dollars to put in. A single 100 watt panel can cost $500 and it will take a number of these to power your home. And if you invest five or ten thousand dollars on a solar power system, you will have to produce that much energy before the system will have paid for itself - and the truth is, this will likely never happen.
However, by building a do it yourself solar power system, you can create an equivalent system for only a fraction of the cost. You will make your money back much sooner. By doing the work yourself, you can build the same 100 watt panel for less than $150 rather than the $500 you would pay a manufacturer. That is only 30% of what a new panel would cost and you will be producing the same amount of power.
If you build several 100 watt panels you can combine them into a 1000 watt panel and eventually supply all or a significant fraction of your home`s power. So, if you are looking into solar. If you are considering setting up a solar system, you can do it for only 30% of what you originally thought. If you have the resource, why not take advantage of it, by building your own solar generator for only a fraction of the price of a manufactured system?
