The Secrets Of Building Your Own DIY Solar Panel

When I started this blog I promised, amongst others, writing on the environment topic. Although I am no expert on the environment, I have studied the subject at university and it is a passion of mine.

Many people think solar and alternative energy is expensive and complicated. WRONG!

True, retail solar power is expensive to buy and have installed, and the payback way too long. However, DIY solar panels are NOT EXPENSIVE, and are actually very easy to install.

And the best thing, is that almost ANYONE CAN DO THIS without any previous solar experience.

The secrets are revealed in this step by step guide that I found, which takes you through the process of building a DIY solar panel.

How much money can I save I hear you ask?

A 130 Watt solar panel will retail in the region of $900, where as you can build your own equivalent panel for less than $200!

There are FULLY ILLUSTRATED instructions that take you through the process of building your DIY solar panel, by breaking down every process into easy to follow steps.

There are Step-by-Step pictures, diagrams and schematics that show you how everything is done. Also a VIDEO LIBRARY showing a guy create a solar panel from scratch.
