Off Grid Renewable Energy Solar Wind Setup Part 1

From shonerboner....

We have 2 Evergreen Solar panels 180 watts each, Tristar 60Amp Controller, 2, 400 watt Air-x wind generators, about 8 marine deep cycle batteries from walmart now. A 250A DC breakerbox from Midnight Solar, Xantrex DR-2412 2400Watt Inverter, and a Reliance transfer switch. So far the system has cost about $6,000 with everything overbuilt to be upgradeable with more solar panels as soon as we get some more funding!

Do It Yourself Solar Panels For Homes

At present, the ongoing trend is green energy and people are catching on. There are energy efficient light bulbs, air conditioners, appliances, and much more. Earth4Energy.com shall discuss one of the new green energy trends on the market, Do It Yourself solar panels for homes.

Many people are interested in Do It Yourself solar panels for their homes for two primary reasons. First of all, you save money, and lots of it. If you're in an area that gets plenty of sun year round then you're truly missing out. The other reason is to save our precious environment for our kids, grandchildren, and many more of our generations to come.

The first thing people turn toward when looking for Do It Yourself solar power for their home is a professionally built and installed system. However, these systems literally cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. The typical green energy go getter (or family for that matter) cannot afford such a system. Not only are they expensive, but the services are hard to come by in some areas. But, what if you could build your own solar panels or your own wind turbines for a fraction of the cost?

It may sound impractical for Do It Yourself solar panels because they are newer technologies and sound complex. Besides, where would you buy the materials or kits? Well, I've stumbled upon an online guide for DIY solar power systems. Little to my knowledge, there are many available for purchase online and I'll share that information with you shortly. First, I'd like to talk about these guides a bit.

Do It Yourself Solar Panel guides show you how to build solar panels from materials most people can find at their local hardware stores. Some people even get into the hobby of building these for fun or for neighbors. Although a DIY project still costs money, it's far cheaper than a professional job, and they easily pay for themselves over time. If you're a craftsman, your work can be as professional as a purchased solar panel system.

Considering you don't have a surplus of cash sitting in the bank for a professional solar power panel system, but you're interested in the continued effort to convert to green energy, save money in the long run, and increase the value of your house, give a Do It Yourself solar panels project a try, or at least a look, before pouring thousands into a professional system.
