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.
