With so much attention now being given to the search for viable alternative energies, it’s no surprise householders are starting to weigh in on this issue. Homeowners are under financial stress like most of us have never experienced before. It makes sense then that homeowner’s look toward cheaper fuel alternatives to power their homes.

The main contender that seems to fill the bill perfectly is solar power. Essentially solar is a free energy source, but and it’s a big but, you must first pay to have a system of panels built and installed on your house. Unfortunately this is where the homeowner finds themselves in a catch 22 situation, they are looking to reduce costs on their energy bills, but they have to outlay thousands of dollars to have a solar power system installed.

The materials which make up the bulk of the $200 cost are readily available at your local hardware shop. You will also need to purchase a guide which will tell you which materials you need to get and provide a blueprint or instructional guide on exactly how to assemble the materials into working homemade solar panels.

Business has recognized this and lately a number of DIY (do it yourself) alternatives have appeared in the scene. DIY solar power kits are basically homemade solar panel systems that operate just like their retail counterparts but at a fraction of the cost. Where retails systems will coast as much as $20,000, DIY solar power kits can be assembled and installed by the home handy man for under $200.

You don’t need to be the world’s best handyman either, the whole process is not as complicate as you may first assume, most of the better guides available walk you through the process step by step and are very easy to understand, you certainly don’t need a PhD to assemble your own guy solar power kit and start producing your own homemade energy.

Once installed you will see savings on each of your power bills by hundreds, in some cases thousands of dollars.
