Solar Power

February 27, 2011

Solar power has been around for quite some time but now its really affordable, it’s also seen as one of the best solutions which runs purely on a free source . More and more homes are jumping on the band wagon of this and building your own solar energy source has never be cheaper or easier, there are lots of company’s now willing to show you just how to make solar panels

But i found this site to be really through there is a lot of they give you  a lot of added tools included…..                              an introduction section, a build manual, installation guide and a calculator to estimate how much you’ll need and how much you’ll generate.

Personally i gathered my solar cells from a well know auction site. I bought them broken and fixed them back together for a faction of the price of buying complete ones but the choice is purely up to you.

The cost is small in buying the cells and assembly is very easy they can be used for a variety of uses for example two panels I have made at put on the roof of my home produce enough power to heat to water for the shower throughout the day.

Definitely a worthwhile investment and fun project,  I  have been asked by a few neighbors to build some for them after they seen the solar panels go up on my roof.

This website I’m recommending are also giving away free plans to build a wind turbine.Which is pretty good!
