So you want to make your own solar panels, save money on your electricity bill and also do your part in helping the Earth. There are literally hundreds of diy solar panel and wind turbine guides that are out there. I have heard the hype about many of these diy solar panel guides, and picked the best one out of the bunch that worked the best for me, and that one was the Earth4Energy manual, which was featured in major magazines such as Popular Mechanics and Popular Science, so you know that they are legit.
Not only do they give you guides, and solar panel construction plans, they actually give you a video series that SHOWS you exactly what you need to do to be able to make your own solar panels. The videos are by the far the most beneficial part of the whole deal to me as I am not one to take written instructions without pictures too well and become successful with it.
I managed to build a couple of solar panels for my vacation home for just a couple hundred dollars in parts, I just had to order some solar panels through eBay and I was ready to begin constructing and installing the solar panels on the roof, and I plan on building many more.
Another reason why I liked the Earth4Energy manual is that they give you lots of bonuses, such as wiring diagrams, tax rebate sheets, solar calculators so that you can determine how many solar panels and battery banks you will need to completely go off the grid.
The customer support for them is outstanding too, although you have to contact them through email, they are always very prompt in answering your questions.
They also have a guide that will teach you how to build your own wind turbines, and just recently added a 15 minute video that will show you step by step on how to properly construct a wind turbine.
They keep the price extremely low for the amount of information that is given to you, for only $49.97 I think that is a great deal for over 2 hours of solar panel video instruction, bonus guides, wiring grids, a solar panel calculator, wind turbine plans and instructional video, along with a bunch of other great information that is going to help you cut energy costs by 50% or more.
