If you have looked into solar power as a possible source of supplying energy into your home you have most likely ran into the biggest problem of all.
That is the cost of a solar panel array large enough to power your home without destroying your wallet.
There is however another way that you can accomplish this task and get panels for a much cheaper price.
That solution is actually to create your own solar panels, and you will be surprised to learn just how easy it is to accomplish this as well.
First you simply need to find a good source for individual solar cells.
Yes, that is right you can actually lay out the solar cells yourself and build a simple enclosure to save a ton of money on your installation.
for example a solar array that would normally cost close to $1000 or more (at current prices at time of this article) can be created for a little over $200.
Considering that to power a house that uses 900 kwh of power a month you would typically need (30) solar panel arrays.
If you can see that would add up to over $24,000 in savings building your own solar panels.
In my opinion that is just about the only way to stomach the investment for creating your renewable energy solution.
The best part is that you can actually get a tax credit still for your investment of renewable energy even if you build your own solar panels so you could get your installation for even less than $6,000 if you can build the arrays slowly over time.
One of the best sources for individual solar cells believe it or not, is eBay! They constantly list individual solar cells and place them online for sell.
These are typically great buys, and can mean big savings to you and your project.
