If you are interested in using the sun to power your home, and save money on your electric bill, then a solar power do it yourself guide may be what you are looking for.

The cost of buying a premade solar panel is very expensive… it would take years for it to pay for itself. Those are for rich people who are more concerned about the environment,(and rightfully so.)

But what about us folks who just want to save money by lowering our bills? Well, we are going to have to learn how to make our own solar power panels.

Building your own renewable energy system is simple to do with the solar power do it yourself guides available today. Earth4Energy offers complete step by step instructions, and informs where the best places are to get the parts needed.

Here are some of the parts needed to complete the solar power panels:

*scrap metal and steel tubing–this is used to make the base of the panels
*electrical wiring
*sheets of copper
*Twentyfour-fourtyeight volt battery

You can get a more detailed list, and the solar power do it yourself guide by going to the site. I believe they have it on sale right now for $47, but I’m not positive. I got mine for $37, but the price has went up since.

Oh, it also comes with a guide to show you how to make your own wind turbine too. They both are great guides that do work, and really do allow you to use the sun’s energy for your own solar power. Do it yourself, don’t pay thousands for a premade panel, you’ll be glad you did.
