There has never been a better time to build a small solar panel, make a move to low carbon living and begin to save money on your electricity bills.

Governments throughout the world are finding new ways of encouraging and supporting the efforts of ordinary householders who want to help tackle climate change and reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.

The credit crunch is making people think far more seriously about how they invest their money and the concept of adding value to their homes by fitting eco-friendly devices has brought on a surge of interest in eco-measures. People are looking for security, stability and self reliance. Small scale renewable energy is safe and reliable whatever the economic climate.

Let us take a look at a few small scale solar power kits and what you can typically use them for.

If you purchase a ready made kit from your local electronics store then you can expect to pay between $140 for a small 10 watt kit and $360 for a larger 28 watt solar panel kit.

A small 10 watt kit is handy to have around the house or caravan for small scale off grid lighting projects and battery maintenance while a 28 watt solar panel will power your laptop.

Most people though want to use solar energy to significantly reduce their electricity bills and a 60 watt solar panel will help you do this. It will power your lights and small appliances.

You can buy such a kit in the store for about $630 but you can quiet easily build one yourself for a little more than $100. There are plenty of websites that show you exactly how you can do this. The nice thing is that once you have made your first panel then the process is just a matter of scale to make either a larger one or several small panels each generating more electricity.

Governments are falling over themselves with different schemes and incentives to help you take the first steps and begin generating your own electricity. So go ahead have a look around the web, get inspired because today making your home eco-friendly is no longer a luxury for that only a few can afford.
