Homemade Solar Power Made Easy

The idea of making homemade solar power was unheard of 20 years ago, but today is one of the fastest growing trends in the world. With the ever increasing costs of utility bills it just makes sense for someone to use homemade solar power as an alternative energy resource. The thought of reducing your electric bill by 80% or even eliminating it completely is why this trend continues to grow every day.

But before you decide if homemade solar power is for you, some research must be preformed. You must decide if this alternative energy source is going to be cost effective. How long is it going to take for you to recoup your investment.

The job of building a homemade solar power system can be a very expensive project if you’re going to outsource it and let someone else build it for you. I’m talking $8,000 to $10,000. However, many people decide to build their own which will reduce the cost dramatically. For the do-it-yourself person, a portable solar power system can be built for around $200 and all the parts can be purchased at your local hardware store. The parts you will need to purchase include a solar panel, charge controller, battery and an inverter. If you don’t know what some of these things are, don’t worry, there are several informative guides available on the internet to walk you through every step.

This type of system is nice due to the simplicity and the fact that it’s portable and it can take it anywhere you like. With a small system like this, you can recoup you investment in as little as two weeks.
