How to make your own renewable energy system
What possibilities are available for those who want to save money and energy by using solar power in their everyday life?
Are solar panels only for the rich, or is it possible to find inexpensive solutions?
Certainly not, and absolutely yes! This page, in fact, brings together a wide range of cost-effective solutions offered by some of the top companies online: photovoltaic panels, solar powered batteries, lighting, toys and gifts, etc.
Can I make my own solar panels? While ready-made solar (photovoltaic) panels are obviously more complex and somewhat superior in quality, and have the advantage of being professionally installed, homemade panels are a valid alternative for those who cannot or do not want to pay out the high up-front costs. There are several excellent detailed and easy to follow manuals available for download.
The following tried and proven manuals have been compiled by experts who have been generating their own solar energy for many years and offer their own know-how, step-by-step plans and online support at a small cost.

What is Solar Energy? Solar energy is the use of the sun's radiant energy to produce heat and electricity (solar power).
There are 4 solar energy technologies:
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP): CSP plants generate electricity by using mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays and convert them into high-temperature heat, which is then channeled through a normal generator; Photovoltaics (PV) are materials and devices have the capacity to convert light energy to electricity; Solar Heating and Solar Lighting are technologies that harness the sun's energy to heat water or air or provide electrical lighting.
What are the benefits of solar energy? In addition to the fact that solar energy is so cost-effective, the use of renewable energy has immediate and long term benefits for the environment. The use of solar powered electricity means cleaner water and air, and contributes to the sustainable use of the earth's natural resources.
What are the dis-advantages of installing solar panels? The most obvious 'drawback' is the initial cost of purchasing and installing a solar electricity system. In time, however, this cost is outweighed by the considerable reduction in electricity costs.
The other possible disadvantage is that, since solar energy systems depend on sunlight, the solar panels will not function well in very shady positions or areas with little sunlight. Which brings us to the next FAQ:
Do solar panels work when there is no sun? Solar electric systems work even when it is cloudy or foggy though, naturally, the output will be reduced. Typically, electrical power is reduced by about 50% in fog or heavy cloud.
Does solar power benefit from incentives? Certainly. For details of US incentives click here, for UK incentives click here, for Canadian incentives click here and for Australian incentives click here.
