Build Solar Panels And Cut Your Power Bill

Appreciating and preserving the resources of our precious planet are high on my priority list. I've met a number of like-minded people here on Maui who are living off the grid by producing their own solar and wind power to run the appliances and household electronics. I highly advocate this and other practices that promote keeping the planet green and healthy on my blog. I decided it was time to practice what I preach so I started researching renewable energy solutions for the home.

I was fortunate enough to come across a workable, at-home solution in which I can use Renewable energy sources and contribute to saving the planet in my own small way. I'd like to share this idea with you.

What is renewable energy? Renewable energy solutions refer to those energy solutions that can keep churning energy without exhausting the earth's resources. Three types of energy solutions fall into the category of renewable energy: solar energy-, hydro energy-, and wind energy-solutions. With Non-renewable sources quickly becoming exhausted, it is important that we reduce our dependency on non-renewable sources of energy.

In a conversation with a close friend the other day, he mentioned that the technology is available for our communities to be completely supported with renewable energy sources, citing that in 1969 we put a man on the moon with only the technology available then...look how far we've come! Well, I agree, the powers that be could certainly utilize renewable energy sources, give us plenty of power and save the planet, but politics are too important, pockets are too deep and it's easier to keep the little man under their thumbs. Well, not for me any more. I have found out that the technology for me--AND YOU--to become energy independent from those sources is at your fingertips--literally!!

Solar energy solutions: The sun's energy is the most abundant energy available on earth. Let's make use of this free energy ourselves. You can employ solar power solutions at home. Build your own solar panels for the home. This will not only cut down power bills but also help you contribute to a greener world.

Solar energy systems have many advantages apart from being cost-effective and environment-friendly. They are low on maintenance thus saving you time and effort. Also, solar systems give you a return on investment by saving you money on your power bill, thus making the systems free after a short time. I love things that pay for themselves and then, start paying you back for being concientious and resourceful!!

Ihave been looking at options such as solar and wind power to cut expenses and until recently have been pretty frustrated with the limited options available. I decided to concentrate on building a solar power system for my home, as I live on Maui and we get a lot of sunshine! After a few minutes of research, I discovered that there are definitely resources for DIY or doing it yourself.

I am now actually constructing solar panels for my home to use an alternative form of energy to cut down, or eliminate electric bills while helping to curb global warming. This is a resource that we all can take advantage of, no matter where you live.

You too can build your own alternative energy source in your own garage in a weekend for UNDER $200 and see significant savings in the very first electric bill.
