Building Solar Panels
For Emergency Solar Backup Power

Many homeowners are looking at building solar panels for their homes, partly because they are a DIY'er (Do-It-Yourself'er)kind of a person or because the cost of solar panels is too high for them to be able to purchase a ready made system.

Either way, The MOST important part is that we have SOME sort of alternative energy we can tap into for emergency preparedness situations.


The picture here is of an emergency solar panel system set up to run a water pump. You can see the panels in the background there.


My friend, Jeff, is getting his garden set up this year, which is actually what we were looking at in the picture, but the panels are in the background.

With his system he is able to pump water, no matter how long of a power outage we have, and believe me, when you have been out of good cold drinking water for a day or two, you get a whole new appreciation for it!


Cost of Solar Panels



For most folks, it is the cost of solar systems that has them looking at building solar panels of their own....


If you have looked at buying solar panels at all, you know that to purchase one sufficient to run a 300 watt home, which is what a normal house is considered to use, will cost around ten grand. I have not built one myself but I have friends that have messed around with solar stuff. There are several things that you will want to have on hand to help you with building a solar panel.

  • A Solar Panel Guideis a must if you plan to build your own!


    There are actually quite a few guides available on the net and we have gathered a few of the HIGHEST RATED ones here ==>> Solar Guides <<== for you.


  • Some simple tools and of course a shop will be great or working area of some sort..a basement works well.



Do some reviews on the various guides on the internet as some of them focus on simply installing the solar panels while others help you and guide you through each step of actually building your own solar energy system.



Most of the solar guides are available for under $50, which is a small price to pay to be able to have an emergency power system in place for whatever may come our way... and many of the solar guides also include simple instructions on building wind turbines, should you choose to do so...
