In recent years many governments have given monetary incentives to individuals and companies who invest in alternative energy sources, such as solar power and wind energy. At the present time the initial outlay may still prove to be a little expensive for many people. It will no doubt come down in price in the future as new materials and methods of manufacturing are discovered, but until then it remains a stumbling block for a lot of people.

The cost of energy continues to rise and is taking a larger bite out of a families disposable income. As the population increases there will be an increased demand and as a consequnce prices will rise even further. This does not even include the possibility of suppliers from other countries restricting supplies due to local tensions or home demand.

Until the day when home energy is the norm savvy individuals are looking to produce their own energy requirements by building their own solar systems and wind turbines and there are a number of good diy home energy guides that show in detail how someone can become virtually self sufficient in energy and in some cases can actually make money by selling excess energy back to the utility companies.

The fact of the matter is that it is a very complex problem to solve as a general proposition because there are so many variables involved one situation to another.  For example the cost of electric power varies between 5.8 cents per kilowatt hour in Kentucky to 14.31 cents in New York. It is even higher at 16.7 cents in Hawaii. ( 6/27/2008).

There is also a substantial variation in the cost of solar panels when considering home solar power systems. They can vary from $2 per Watt for DIY panels, to $10 per Watt for commercial panels.  The number of panels required will also vary considerably depending on your geographic situation.  For example Seattle has 2049 hrs of sunshine per annum whilst Phoenix has 3752, so that for every solar panel required in Phoenix to achieve a particular output of electricity, 1.8 panels would be required in Seattle.

The tremendous difference between the cost of DIY panels and those obtained commercially has seen a surge in interest in people wanting to build their own solar panels.  For many people this means the difference between having renewable energy providing electricity for their homes and having to stay locked in to the power companies.

There are a number of excellent e-books available on the Internet which give simple and detailed instructions as to how the handy-person to build solar panels and wind turbines.

Lighting for the outdoors such as when we are out camping is usually provided by small petrol engine driven generators.  These are fairly expensive to buy and to run.  They are also noisy and smelly, to say nothing of their pollution. Solar power lighting on the other hand is less expensive (as a do-it-yourself project), far more portable and is totally non-polluting.  The downside is that batteries required to store the power generated from the sunlight so that it is available at night. Admittedly these batteries are heavy to handle but no more so than a petrol or diesel engine generator set.  

Solar power can also be used to generate electricity for the household.  This is becoming a more common practice due to the falling prices of solar panels and the increasing prices of the power supplied by utilities.  The solar panels are usually placed on the house roof and could cost as much as $20,000 to supply the needs of an average household.  This is very much a ballpark figure as there are so many variables involved. For example many people these days build their own solar panels to provide solar power lighting simply because this can be done for as little as 25% of the cost of a commercially built product.

There are a number of excellent e-books available on the Internet that provide step by step directions for constructing your own solar panels and wind turbine generators and these are well worth reading.

To delve thoroughly into the economics of solar versus supplied, or grid power is beyond the scope of this article, I think it would be agreed by the majority of people that, generally speaking, solar power in the long run would be a most economical proposition. In the short run this would not be so, and the breakeven point would depend on the cost of the solar unit and supplied electricity.  With the costs of commercial units gradually reducing and the cost of supplied electricity gradually increasing we are faced with an ever changing breakeven point.  But as I said, generally speaking the more economical solution would be solar power.

As to the sourcing and the cost of commercially produced solar units, that too is beyond the scope of this article, but an important aspect that is often overlooked completely is the feasibility of do-it- yourself residential solar power systems.  These can very easily be built by the home handyperson at a fraction of the cost of a commercially produced unit.  This solution has often been discussed in such venues as: America Online, MNSBC, CNBC, and the New York Times, and it is such an important alternative that it is essential to consider it before moving to the more expensive alternative.

Probably the best source of material dealing with do-it-yourself residential solar power systems is the Internet.  There are many e-books available that deal quite comprehensively and simply with such projects.

Well it certainly does, and has done for millennia.  Wind has powered sailing vessels; it has also powered grain grinding mills.  These became known as windmills.  The wind has also been used to power water pumps — these were still called windmills but in reality wind pumps would have been a more accurate term.

More recently the wind has been used to drive turbines that produce electricity.  Quite simply the wind, acting on the blades or sails of the turbine, causes the turbine to spin thus turning the shaft on which the blades or sails are mounted.  The power of this spinning shaft is then used to drive an electric generator.

It is really a very simple process which can be adapted to drive small domestic wind power turbines through to huge commercial turbines.

Many people these days build their own wind turbines and in doing so save a considerable amount of money when compared with the commercial product.  Many excellent guides are available on the Internet which take the do-it-yourself handyman through the process of building and installing domestic wind power.

Be mindful that it is important to study wind data for your area.  In some districts it may be necessary to build more than one turbine.

If you are careful and selective in choosing materials and components it is quite possible to produce a domestic wind power turbine for as little as $100.

It is also possible to produce so much domestic wind power that your power company will be paying you for the power you inject into their grid.  

But even better, by producing your own power will be making a contribution toward the reduction of both CO2 and the greenhouse effect and in so doing you will help to reduce mankind’s carbon footprint.

There are many good guides available on the Internet which will show you have to build an excellent wind turbine but in our view, probably the best of these publications is Green Power Easy’s wonderfully simple Guide to Alternative Energy. Get complete details as to how this remarkable guide can help you save significantly on your power bills by clicking here.

Well, first of all, solar power is one of the cleanest, most effective, most efficient and most economical forms all of renewable energy available on the planet. 

Secondly, it is now possible to build your own source of domestic solar power, thanks to the many excellent do-it-yourself guides that are available on the Internet.  

What this means to you is that you can decrease and even eliminate your reliance on the electric companies’ power grids, and enjoy significant savings.  These guides very clearly explain and demonstrate the process of making your own solar energy panels (and even wind turbines).

So, how does solar power work?

Well, by means of specially constructed cells [photovoltaic cells], solar radiation’s photon energy is transformed into electricity which can then be fed into your household.  These cells are commonly referred to as PV cells.  

The electric power that the PV cells produce is then passed through an inverter which changes the voltage to that required in domestic applications.

Very basically, this is how solar electricity is produced. The important thing to recognize however is that, just as with an automobile it isn’t really necessary to fully understand how it works to derive benefit from it, so it is with domestic solar power.  How it happens is interesting, but the benefits to be derived from do-it-yourself solarenergy panels are even more interesting:

You save money… lots of money—and  what is more, you help to reduce the amount of CO2 gases passing into the atmosphere and in that way play your part in minimizing mankind’s carbon footprint.
