The future of our current energy resources is a bleak one. Not only are we chewing up our finite energy sources at a rate of consumption never seen before, we are also faced with rising costs and being at the whim of politically unstable countries. Add to this the likelihood that China and India are set to become a couple of the world’s most wealthy countries and the resulting massive increase in energy consumption from their people taking up electrical appliances and motor vehicles that they could not afford before, is frightening both in terms of the fuel being used up and the massive increased detrimental environmental impact.

As we move deeper into the inevitable worsening economic situation we are all currently faced with, it seem logical that we turn to energy resource that are cheap, renewable, locally harvested and environmentally friendly in nature.

One such product that can fulfill all these requirements is DIY Solar Power. DIY (which stands for “Do It Yourself”) Solar Power is fast gaining popularity. There are several major companies that sell DIY solar power kits and an equally large number of companies which sell DIY solar power guides.

For most households on a budget the DIY solar power guides are the cheapest alternative. Priced at around $40 they represent excellent value for money. The guides, often delivered in video as well as written (illustrated) format, show you what materials you need to assemble your own solar panels and generator for under $200, as well as where you can source them (surprisingly your local hardware store should stock all of the necessary components).

Once assembles the DIY solar power kits require little to no maintenance (the little refers to the mess our feathered friends might leave behind from time to time). The money saved can be staggering. Depending on the number of solar panels you produce, you can save as much as 80% off your power bill, as well as allowing yourself the luxury of being less frugal with your energy consumption and providing you peace of mind in the knowledge you are playing your part in keeping the environment healthy.
