Homemade Solar and Wind Power systems
No CommentsHi,
I am sure like me your increasingly concerned with rising electricity bills. Well there is something that you can do. It is now possible to build your own homemade solar and wind power system, and it will not cost you an arm and a leg.
Until relatively recently it was necessary to pay an energy company thousands of dollars to supply and fit solar and wind power systems. Fortunately things are changing, there are now a number of homemade solar and wind power kits to be found on the internet. Some of these have detailed manuals with well illustrated guidelines and even video instructions.
Homemade Solar Power systems utilise the power of the sun to create electricity to power appliances and lighting. Photovoltaic cells are used in these systems to convert radiation from the sun into electricity. The photovoltaic cells are made up of one or two layers of silicon. When the light shines on these cells it creates electricity across these cells.
Photovoltaic cells are connected together to form modules and the modules are linked to form a PV array. The size varies according to how much electricity you wish to generate. Most importantly you can build a professional Homemade solar power system for as little as $200 and most of the components can be obtained from your local hardware store.
solar power systems only need daylight to generate electricity, but you can also add a wind power system for another $100. Wind Power systems harness the power of the wind to turn the blades of a wind turbine which generates electricity. Using both these systems you can cut your electricity bill by as much as 80%, and you can even go on to generate excess electricity which you sell back to the grid.
