Do it yourself solar power is becoming an extremely popular alternative energy source for homeowners. A quick search online will reveal just how popular solar panel kits are as reflected in the search results, with dozens of guides available for digital download. The question on most people’s lips then is do they actually work and can you really build your own?

To answer this question I thought it would be a good idea to share my own personal experiences in building my own DIY solar power system.

What led me to become interested in diy solar power was a concern for not only the environmental impact our household energy usage was having but also the ever increasing cost of our electricity bill.

Whilst solar energy is an excellent energy source, it’s clean, cheap and renewable, it is prohibitively expensive, expect to pay thousands to have an off the shelf system installed. A quote for our house came in at a staggering $9000 USD!, this was simply a cost we couldn’t afford and just didn’t make sense. It would take years to get back the expenditure in the money saved by cutting out electricity bills. I did however find an alternative which is very cheap.

What I found after searching online was you can get how to build solar panels guides for less than fifty bucks. The guides show you step by step how to assemble a solar panel with materials you can get from the hardware store and will cost you no more than $200 USD. It took me three days from the time I Purchased my guide, built my homemade solar cells and wired them up to some batteries.

I know what you’re thinking, you don’t have a phd in physics, nor are you an expert handy person, well fear not if I (who can barely change a tire)can manage to put together my own panels, you definitely can, just make sure you get an easy to follow comprehensive guide to work from.
