Declare Independence and Build Solar Panels

Say goodbye to electric bills and hello to renewable energies.  Solar power is one of the best and most reliable renewable energy sources available.  The problem most novice environmental warriors find is that the cost of professionally installed solar power systems is way beyond their budget and it could take well over 10 years to see a return on their investment.  Never fear, there are alternatives.  The most cost-effective way to take advantage of the power of the sun is to build solar panels on your own.  

Sound like too much? If you are scared it would be difficult, it is just not true.  It is easy to build solar panels with the proper instructions.  Easy enough for kids, teens and adults.  The parts aren’t complicated either.  Most of the supplies you would need to build solar panels are available at your local hardware store or you can purchase a solar panel kit, which will include all the parts you require to be generating your own energy from the sun.  It is possible to construct several small solar panels to power small appliances or small tools in your workshop.  Or for the very adventurous and determined alternative energy seeker, you could build solar panels to service a much larger electric load.  

There are many resources and guides available with detailed instructions on how to build solar panels.  The first and most important step is to seek out quality detailed instructions.  Then it is off to your local hardware store to find or order your supplies and next thing you know, or the next time you have some free time, you will be able to assemble and install the system yourself.  Watch out though, the neighbors may start asking you to build solar panels for them too.  

Not only is it going to save you money to build solar panels yourself, but you can feel proud that you are doing your part for the environment as well.  Declaring your independence from fossil fuels and making a much-needed impact on the world and in your neighborhood.
