Most of the electric power comes from power plants using coal and oil to generate electricity. We might replace these dirty energy sources with more green and nature friendly alternatives such as solar power. The carbon dioxide, by-product from the dirty energy source, which we dump out in the air every day, would decrease tremendously.

One of the main reasons that the solar powered energy still not being deployed by most of the people is EXPENSIVE! A commercial solar panel system that can provide sufficient energy to power an average sized house can cost up to US$20k.

The good news is we can build our own solar panels system to power our own house! You might reduce your energy bills as much as 80% with the cost less than US$200. You can build your own solar panel with a very low cost material.

There are many guides online available that shows people the steps and tips to build solar panels. The good guides should give you information that will be critical to producing effective panels. Some guides online will list instructions that address most of the problems that may arise when you are building your panels. Other may be advertised as complete, but will not have the kind of details that you will need for this project.

Remember that you will be adding heavy equipment to your roof. These panels must be installed properly to function efficiently. They must also be installed without doing damage to the structure of your home.

An important tip when an individual is going to build solar panels will be to take time to check the cells in the panels at each step of the construction process. By making sure that the cells are operable before proceeding, you will save valuable time in completing the project.
