http://www.SolarEnergyGuide.net – Don’t Buy Solar Panels For Sale – Here’s a Better Solution For Solar Power
Each month, as people receive their electric bill, many contemplate turning to solar panels to reduce this utility cost. Some people are literally paying over half the amount of their house payment to the electric company. Solar panels are an investment in your home that you should definitely consider, but when you look at the cost of solar panels for sale, you may think you can’t afford it. There is a better solution for solar power.
How to Build Your Own Solar Panel
A typical solar panel installed on your home will average in cost between $7-$9 a watt. That means that one solar panel that produces 100 watts of electricity will run you about $700-900! While solar panels for sale are around $4-$6 per watt, installation brings that price up quite quickly. It just makes good financial sense to build your own.
Anyone who is rather handy and motivated can do it. The cost is about $200 and you can control the size of the panel so it fits where you have the space. Your first step should be a detailed, yet easy to understand, manual. Don’t get the first one you come across. Do a little research and if you can find one with videos, that’s even better.
The building supplies are next and you may be surprised to find most of them at your local hardware store: plywood, a roll of copper wire, and sheets of glass. The solar panel cells, also called photovoltaic cells, can be found at a local retailer or online.
Finally, it will take about a day to assemble a 100-watt panel, which can produce enough electricity to operate a small appliance. If you are building one for the first time, you may want to work on it over a long weekend. Once you get the first one done, the rest are easier and can be hooked together.
A Final Thought
There you have. It’s much easier than you might think and a lot less expensive to build your own solar panel. The solar panels for sale commercially may be for some people, but for others, they are simply too expensive. Start lowering your electric bill with a homemade solar panel and keep some of that utility bill money for something else!
You can save yourself time and literally thousands of dollars by looking over a review of guides to making solar panels and by using our online resources (no need to sign up) to get started fast using solar and wind power.

http://www.EnergyBrainiac.com – Solar Roof Tiles – Solar Power Without the Solar Look
If you’re like a lot of people these days who are considering the installation of solar power in their homes, you may not know the difference between solar roof tiles and a solar panels. And the distinction is important because the one thing that prevents many folks from enjoying the benefits of solar power is that they are afraid of ruining the appearance of their home.
So what is the difference between a home equipped with solar panels vs. one with solar roof tiles? It is not hard to notice. Solar panels are those large, cumbersome units that often are perched atop the roof of a house, making it look to some people like something out of a science fiction movie.
To install the panels properly, it is often necessary for additional roof framing or roof penetration. And if yours is the first house on the block to install solar panels, you might have to endure lots of funny looks and derogatory comments from the neighbors.
On the other hand, solar roof tiles are much less obtrusive than solar panels. As the name implies, solar roof tiles are incorporated into your existing roof, whether it consists of asphalt shingles or most other common types. One shingle weighs about 2.5 pounds per square foot, so they are generally easy to work with when it comes to installation.
They tend to be a dark bluish-gray in color, so they blend in easily with most existing roof types. And the best thing is that they provide for a seamless look, so the untrained eye will not be able to tell the difference.
But perhaps the best thing about solar roof tiles is how they help you save on your energy bill. One tile puts out about 50 to 200 watts of energy, which is about as much as a small window fan. While this may not sound like much, if you incorporate the tiles into your entire roof, you should be able to supply enough energy for your entire house.
And if you are fortunate enough to live in a sunny state such as California, Florida, or Arizona, you may even produce more energy than you need. You can then sell this excess energy back to the local power company, further reducing your energy costs.
So not only do solar tiles look great, they’ll help you do what’s really important: save money. To find out more about solar tiles visit solar roof shingles.

MAKE CHEAP SOLAR PANEL in 1 hour
Make solar panels:
The fact is that most people don’t know about the benefits of generating renewable energy themselves. They also don’t know how easy it is to do this.
They just pay $1,000s a year in electricity without having a clue that there is a much better way…
The Easiest, Cheapest Way
To Generate Renewable Energy
There are many solutions to produce renewable energy.
However, most of the products are not designed to produce the electricity needed for home supply. They cost fortunes and are only usable in the corporate world.
Some companies have developed products for generating home wind power or solar power, but they cost $1,000s for only one product. And this doesn’t even include installation.
Luckily this is where we come in. HomeMadeEnergy.org will teach you everything you need to have your own solar or wind power system for $200 or even less.
I’ve made countless tests to make sure that these are the most effective methods for producing heaps of energy.
And once I had these plans, I wrote them out professionaly for the “average Joe”, with plain English words. Anyone can understand and use them. (Even a 15-year old kid!).
And before releasing them in a guide, I’ve given them to many test subjects to see if all of them can succeed in generating enough electricity to power their home. How Would You Like To UNPLUG Your
House From Your Electrical Company,
Knowing That You Are “100% Powered
By Nature” With Renewable Energy.

SolarDave: What manufacturer do you like to use for solar panels and why?
Tony Boniface: We prefer SunPower because for a couple of reasons, one is their efficiency – they are the most efficient panel, also they are all black with also lends for a nice aesthetic attribute. Black seems to blend in to the houses the best, we found they kind of disappear.
Those are the two main reason, but SunPower has made a big effort to counter where the industry has been fits and starts they force dealers to traditionally forced to inventory panels, SunPower is all about just-in-time delivery. So it makes a difference from a cash flow point. For a small business that can be critical.
They are (SunPower) are very interested in growing their market share and they realize the one way to do that is to make our market share grow – they understand and cater to the small business both from an inventory stand point and a marketing materials stand point and sales department and training. So they do a really good job of assisting there dealers where ever possible.
SolarDave: What other panels do you like to use?
Tony Boniface: By request of on occasion if we can’t get what we need from SunPower we for a particular project we may fall to EverGreen or Kyocera for instance – both good makers, EverGreen has the advantage of they are an American company.
Kyocera in my opinion has been in the industry the longest and has stayed the course. They are also a materials company they make ceramics glasses and so forth so I think the quality is very high.
SolarDave: What SunPower models do you like to use the best?
Tony Boniface: SunPower likes to minimize the number of models they had. If they could have come out with just one they would have. They try to avoid scope creep as the more models they have they more people you have to keep tabs on.
They have two models a high efficiency the white module with the white backing and they have the slightly less effiencent model which is the all black (loss a little efficiency) right now it is the 230 watt the white one and the 225 watt is the black. That SunPower 225 watt has changed though because the process has become more efficient in the cells – it used to be the SunPower model 205 and 210 then 215 220 and now it is the 225 and 230. So it is pretty typical in the industry as the manufacturers are getting the efficiencies up.

FACT: There aren’t enough resources on this planet to sustain continued human growth and increasing quality of life.
FACT: If we want to avoid catastrophic war, suffering, and global shortages of energy, we need to start looking to space seriously for solutions.
Space Based Solar Power is the first step.
