True, retail solar power is expensive to buy and have installed, and the payback way too long. However, DIY solar panels are NOT EXPENSIVE, and are actually very easy to install.
And the best thing, is that almost ANYONE CAN DO THIS without any previous solar experience.
The secrets are revealed in this step by step guide that I found, which takes you through the process of building a DIY solar panel.
How much money can I save I hear you ask?
A 130 Watt solar panel will retail in the region of $900, where as you can build your own equivalent panel for less than $200!
