Let the SUN Power Your Home!

While solar energy is nothing new, installing your own solar panels can be!
Or perhaps you want build your own solar panels which is a feat that anyone will be proud of as it is actually quite inexpensive to build them, according to Les and Jane.

Several Advantages of Survival Solar Power are...
A renewable source of energy
The electric company you are with now very likely uses fossil fuels to create the electricity going to your home. Fossil fuels are not replenishable while solar power is.
In fact, the sun produces enough energy in ONE minute to power the whole planet for an entire year!
So why are not more people using the sun's energy to fuel their homes?
I think the main reason is simply that many people do not have the know-how to build their own solar panels and given the cost of some solar set-ups, most people end up sticking with their more environmentally-unfriendly electric company.
It is Pollution-free
The consumption of fossil fuels, whether
burning the gas in your car or generating power at the electric
company, produces pollution. You breathe in that air and
contaminate your lungs which pose risks for any number of ailments and disease.
Installing solar panels means you generate your own energy, clean energy that creates no pollution. The environmental benefits are huge!
Saving Money with Solar Panels
If you build your own panels, you will save a considerable amount of money upfront, where if you choose to buy the panels and install them, then it may take several years to recoup the cost of your solar system.
Several things that will affect how much money you will save are:
The amount of sun you receive ... your energy is measured during peak hours as that is when your panels will be working full strength.
How much electricity you are using currently
The cost in building your panels or purchasing them, and how much of a load they can carry
