Homemade Solar Panels

Why should we build our own home solar panel? Would it bring us any profit? Would it support environment? Is it worth trying to invest money to such a project? Glance at the following article in order to find some positive answers to these questions

First of all we have to make clear that these homemade solar panels are really efficient. The energy created by a home solar panel is enough for a high percentage of our home energy demands. So we will be able to minimize the consumption of energy from the national grid and as a result our electricity bills will drastically fall (and we will save much money!)

Another important factor is that the electricity generated from the conversion of solar energy is really supportive for environment! The generation of electric power of solar energy is pollutant free and doesn’t increase the global warming. So if you really care about earth and environment you should give this option a chance.

Also we shouldn’t underestimate the following: The only condition to create a homemade solar panel is just to live in a sunny place (for at least an average of one or two hours per day). In other words, home solar panels work almost everywhere!

Someone would argue insisting that building your home solar panels is really expensive! But this is not an accurate argument. Take into consideration the profits coming from homemade solar cells (reduction of electricity bills), and you will realise you will soon take your money back and much more. I believe that this is a great investment for us and for the future of earth. We should also add that the cost for the building of a home solar panel is not too high!

How to make a wind generator

You've finally decided to make a wind power generator and now all you need is some instructions on how to build it. It's a nice idea to make your own as it's a low cost project and too easy to make with a step by step guide. Furthermore buying a ready one would cost you more than $3000, when building your own could reduce the cost as low as $200.

It's weird why wind generator companies charge so high their products when the parts are so easily available!

It's time to get started!

  • you'll definetely need some work space, like your garage

  • detailed instructions on how to make a wind generator

  • simple tools like jigsaw, fenches and hammer

To start making the wind generator, you'll need firstly a DC motor which will be the power generator of your system. You can easily found one for less than $30 as the instructions stated. A couple of days will be needed for the DC Motor to be shipped, so while you're waiting, learn the rest steps to build your wind generator. A used TV tower is what you need then.

Thirdly building the blades is the next step. Simply follow the design in the guide. You'll probably need wooden or PVC blades. For the body and tail of the wind generator, recycled metals or unused glasses are perfect. When your DC motor is available to you, just put them all together as the instructions described.
