Today you are going to learn what the best DIY solar panel kits for homes are. You are also going to be given basic instructions for building your own solar system for less than $250, that will reduce your electricity bill by at least 80%, and even more if you cut down on unnecessary energy wastage due to leaving lights on when your not in the room, or not switching devices off at the wall.
A basic DIY solar panel kit will consist of the following things -
1. Plywood - this is a very cheap wood and can be purchased in large quantities from hardware stores or builders. Buy it in large sheets and then cut to the size that you will require later. I would recommend that you purchase the highest quality plywood you can find, as this will form the basic frame of your panel.
2. Solar cells - these are becoming cheaper and cheaper and can easily be purchased online or from electronics/hardware stores. If you live in a big city, there may be specialist shops around that stock a wider selection.
3. Sheet glass - glaziers can provide this for a reasonable price, and can also cut to size for you as it takes a fair amount of skill to cut this stuff perfectly yourself.
4. Copper wire - purchase this by the foot/metre from electronics or hardware stores. It may be even cheaper if you buy a massive roll of it at one time.
5. Passive Solar Home Plans - This brings the four components mentioned above together, and allows you to turn them into a fully functioning, powering generating panel. You will learn the exact measurements required, find diagrams and images that go into far more detail than words, and then get instructions for how to install the finished system into your home, wire it up and watch the savings!
My personally recommended DIY solar panel kit is the "Earth4Energy" system by Michael Harvey. It goes into far greater detail about where and how to purchase the components required for the best possible price, it contains extremely accurate and easy-to-follow instructions with all necessary measurements and diagrams, and the installation instructions are also very easy to follow. The end result- a professional looking, safe and reliable solar energy system.
