"who Else Wants To Create Electricity From Renewable Energy Without Breaking The Bank?"
It may be "all the rage" today to jump on the bandwagon and want to use renewable energy to help save the planet, but in reality, how do you use the earth's renewable resources and save money on our own energy costs? How do you actually get to use a renewable resource like the sun or wind to power your home? Do you get a professional installer to put up some solar panels or a wind power generator? Do you take the leap and try to do-it-yourself and hope you actually finish the project and end up with a usable system?
Good news is, green energy is on the rise and that makes it easier for the average person to setup and install your own renewable energy system.
Wind power generators (small homemade windmills) are very popular because they are fairly easy to manufacture and setup. The truth is that it is not difficult to build wind turbines and many homeowners are taking the challenge to build their own wind turbines as a cost-effective means to utilizing renewable energies. It isn't exactly snap-your-fingers easy to build wind turbines either, but with the proper plans and a motivated builder you can be building wind turbines in no time.
When the wind dies down (or doesn't exist at all) then solar panels are a great option and often solar panels and wind power generators are used together to generate a home's power. Solar power is one of the best and most reliable renewable energy sources available. The problem most novice environmental warriors find is that the cost of professionally installed solar power systems is way beyond their budget and it could take well over 10 years to see a return on their investment. Never fear, there are alternatives. The most cost-effective way to take advantage of the power of the sun is to build solar panels on your own.
You may be thinking that building wind turbines and/or solar panels on your own will cost thousands of dollars much like a professional system. You would be surprised just how inexpensive building your own solar or wind power system can be. With the right plans, you can build your own wind power generator for between $180-200 and less if you can find some parts to recycle from other used equipment, for instance. The same goes for solar panels. The key is to find a plan that works for your goals.
There are many different DIY plans available online today. You need to make sure that you get complete plans that include
• detailed instructions and diagrams
• how to videos
• resources to get certain parts you'll need (best to avoid plans that require buying parts from specialized websites since this can be expensive)
• support in case you need help along the way
The key to keeping costs down and completing any project lies in good planning, and the right manual will help you do just that. Look for proven, experienced and moderately priced renewable energy manuals. You don't have to spend hundreds, and some of the best manuals available are very creative in their use of materials found at your local hardware store or even by using recycled materials.
There is most definitely a way that you can create your own home energy system, using renewable energy to save money on energy costs (many times, with the right system you can even eliminate your energy bills entirely) and it does not have to cost you your savings or the price of a new car! A good plan can be obtained for under $50 in most cases and the materials usually range in the $180-200 range for a wind power system and slightly more for a solar panel system. So, for a small price and a little bit of elbow grease, you can create your own electricity for years to come, help the environment and save money.
