So are you looking to go green and start saving your hard earned bucks (or pounds or euors etc!) on all those expensive fuel bills?

Well then, building your own solar panel and using it either on your own house or office or anywhere for that matter is an excellent way to start.

Now it’s impossible to give full instructions in a short article like this one, but it can get you started in the right direction.

First off, it is easily doable even for people who do not do a lot of DIY, but what you will need is a good helping hand through this process.

The comes in the form of a good solar panel construction and installation guide. There is a full industry dedicated to getting people set up for this and a guide from a good company will take you through the full process and clearly tell you exactly what equipment and materials you need.

A proper guide will also include a back up support team that will be available to answer all your questions if and when you get stuck and then get you back on the right track, (like anything else there are bound to be problems the first time you try somethings new).

The materials are relatively easy to source and can be bought from a local hardware store. They should also not cost more than $200.

On my first project I set aside around a week to get everything built and installed. Now I have reduced that time to normally a weekend or so.

Now you’re Ready to go!
