DIY Home Home Solar Power
If you are lucky enough to live in an area that has generous rebates for solar panels it’s quite easy to add them to your house. Make a call or two, fill in some forms, wait a while (sometimes a long while) then watch the installers climb onto your roof.
For the rest of us, hiring a professional installer just doesn’t make economic sense. It’s just too expensive and we wouldn’t recover our investment for 20 or more years. If you have basic DIY skills however, home home solar power is still an option. Full instruction for DIY installation are a bit beyond the scope of this humble blog unfortunately, so I’m going to point you to some other sources.
I did try looking in the local bookshop but there really wasn’t anything I could recommend. Online guides are a better option since these are usually more up-to-date and comprehensive.
Earth4Energy is an easy to follow illustrated guide that will get you started for as little as $200. The guide includes a number of videos which make the whole process a doddle. The Earth4Energy kit will show you everything you need to know about creating electricity from your very own backyard. If you are interested in learning exactly how to generate power and reduce your bill than this is the perfect resource for you!
Homemade Energy has very specific instructions on the best layout depending where you live - a very important consideration - along with step by step illustrated instructions. HomeMadeEnergy is the website created to help you slash your electricity bill by 80% or even eliminate it completely! With the ever increasing costs of living, there is no better time than right now to stop throwing money out the window and start generating your own electricity
Both of these guides also cover generating electricity from the wind - a great option if you live near the coast.
I think this is a great article, as well as, a good site for solar resources. Thank you
I have the Earth Energy guide and was very pleased with it. Very detailed videos
