Learn how to build a solar electric panel – save money and save the planet

Today there are many questions about the economy and questions about global warming. These are certainly confusing times. There is nothing we can do as individuals about the economy, but we can make a difference about the environment. That’s why I learned how to build a solar electric panel for my house.

How to start

The first thing I needed to do was find information on a solar electric panel and how to build them. I found what I needed on a website (I love the Internet). What surprised me is how the materials were so readily available on the shelf at my local hardware store. Another big surprise was how affordable they were.

Easier than I expected

I am not a very technical person, so when I started researching how to build a solar electric panel, I had doubts about whether or not I could do it. Honestly, it was so easy a fourth grader could do it, seriously. The guidebook I bought was amazing and walked me through what I had to do in a way that even I could easily understand.

A job well done AND a lower energy bill

It took me a Saturday to build my solar electric panel and 2 hours on Sunday to connect it to my house. The solar panel looks great sitting in my backyard and my last three energy bills have saved over twenty percent each! If you want to build a solar electric panel, you can do it. It was very easy and quite cheap. In fact, compared to what a solar company wanted to charge me, it was about 10% of that. I really recommend doing it. You’ll be saving money and doing your part to save the environment.
