DIY Solar Panels Are Easier Than You Think

If you like the idea of being energy independent, but the thought of DIY solar panels makes your eyes glaze over, your palms sweat and your head ache, you are not alone.  Since most of us are used to flipping a switch to turn on the lights, we may have never really given much thought to the process of how the electricity we take for granted is generated and delivered to our house.  So naturally, electrical power can seem mysterious. 

But once the process is explained and broken down into step by step instructions, it becomes almost as easy as following the directions to bake a cake or build a bird house. Of course, we’re not talking here about wiring your home to tie into the utility company’s electrical grid.  We’re just talking about making simple solar panels that will charge a battery you can use to power your laptop, TV or other small electronics and appliances.

Clear and complete instructions are the key.  If you have any reservations about how hard it is, just remember that thousands of people around the globe have built their own green energy systems simply by following accurate directions.
Written instructions are helpful and important for those who learn best by reading.  They are also convenient to use as a reference guide during assembly.  Video instructions that show the solar panel components and demonstrate how they are assembled ensure that there is no miscommunication and make the process quick and easy.

And although it’s possible to piece together a bunch of different free videos and articles, it’s really much faster and efficient to buy a good DIY green energy guide that is complete with all of the information and resources that you’ll need.  Rather than wasting your time searching for accurate information, reviewing videos and taking the time to verify the facts, you can be spending that time actually building your homemade solar panels.

By gathering the proper tools and materials, and assembling them in the proper sequence, it really is possible to build your own solar panels in a matter of a few hours.  You just need to be able to follow directions, do some basic math, take accurate measurements and be reasonably handy with simple tools like a screwdriver, soldering iron, saw and drill.  And, of course, you also need a clear and complete set of instructions and videos, like the ones that are included in Green DIY Energy, to guide you along the way.
