Solar Power Generator

While the level of experience necessary for building your own solar power generator is much less than people think, it is still a good idea to understand the nuts and bolts of the basic technologies that are involved. While I believe that all solar solutions are a definite improvement over fossil fuel solutions and the pollution that they bring - this blog is dedicated to building your own solar and wind power devices.

By getting all DIY and getting your hands a little dirty, you can make the transition to solar a lot cheaper, and can learn a lot that will also help you to expand your system cheaper and easier in the future.

OK - well, when you are talking solar - of course - it all comes from the sun. The Sun is a huge nuclear reactor that converts its own mass into light - photons. Trillions of these photons reach our atmosphere every second, that's right - trillions every second. This is even more amazing when we realise that this is only 2 billionths of the sun's total energy output - and is still more than 35,000 times more than the energy that we are currently using.

It just makes sense to capture a small portion of this energy to make our own electricity, and stop killing the planet and spending stupid amounts on energy bills in the meantime.

Solar Power Generator - Make Your Own

How to Make Solar Power

Many people never get around to doing the things that they really want to in life.

Lots of people have fantasies about making their own electricity - whether it be living off the grid, saving their family some money or becoming part of the solution for the global energy problem.

However, lots of these people never get around to doing anything about it - I have always asked myself - Why is that.

Procrastination, an attitude of hopelessness, a feeling that one person can not make a difference - these are three of the biggest obstacles to face when wanting to take control of your life and your personal energy needs. It is relatively easy to make your own solar power in your own homes - you can begin right away with a few simple instructions and a small investment in time and money.

Your attitude is the one thing that you have complete control over in your life, and with a little patience and the right information by your side - making your own solar power can be a very empowering and life changing experience.
