Make solar power panels and get yourself off the power grid! With the state of the economy these days and the rising costs of everything but paychecks it is getting harder and harder to pay our bills. The price of energy is going through the roof. Gas prices have been at an all time high within the past year. People are losing jobs, getting laid off or downsized. I know I am right in there with everyone else. I drive a cement truck and only worked 2 or 3 days all last year and this year is looking to be just as bad. It is hard to pay the bills when your pay goes down to less than half of what it normally is.

This is why I have started to get into green energy and alternative energy. Solar energy wind energy. If or when I can buy a new car I want that to be an energy efficient bio fuel, hydrogen, or whatever. The way things are going that will be a long time off.

One thing I can do now that will help me and my family is to try to get off the power grid. Cut down on our electric costs. That cost runs us between $100.00 and $150.00 a month. If I can cut that down or completely cut it out that is a step in the right direction.

I have chosen Solar energy. I am going to make solar power panels myself and start using them to power my home. It’s not hard to make them. They cost about $200.00 to build. You can get most of the parts at your local hardware store and some place like Radio Shack. Basically you are going to need a good guide to show you how to build them and some basic hand and power tools. A drill, saw, hammer screwdrivers etc…

It may take 6 or 8 to power your home completely but if you just get one going that is going to cut your electric bill down some. When you can add another one or two and cut the bill down even more. Keep making them when you can until you are completely free from the power grid. You will still stay hooked up to the power grid as backup. Once you are not using the power company power you can sell them back any extra power you generate. Some people make a nice buck off of this. Making solar power panels might sound hard to you. Let me tell you this!

You don’t need to be a technological wiz to make solar power panels. There are some great manuals out there that teach you how to do it and it is pretty simple. It’s an upfront cost to buy the parts but they will save you money for years to come. Can you imagine life with no electric bill. Check this out! there are solar water heaters. Think of the gas costs you would save using a solar water heater!

Yes! This is the way of the future. Solar and wind power. Good clean efficient energy. The wind and sun will never go away in our lifetime. It is a great free energy source. Do you think the government could charge a wind and sun tax? They are giving tax breaks to those who choose to go green, use solar and wind energy. Learn more about how to make solar power panels today and get off the grid soon!!!

I am into renewable energy and many other DYI home projects
