Build Your Own Solar Panel Can You Really Save On Electricity Bills



? If you're thinking of building your own solar panel, you are surely an environmentally responsible person who also wants to reduce your energy bills at the same time. Incidentally, you can have what you -- reduce the total cost of owning solar energy panels and save the environment.

Many homeowners like yourself have made cheap solar power generators for their home and eliminated their energy bills for good. This method is one of the most cost-effective ways to cut cost. Let's take a peek at how much money these families saved with DIY photovoltaic panels and more importantly how they did it.

The average electricity bill for a typical household works out to be about $3,600 a year -- roughly $300 is spent every month on energy. For many people, that is almost 10% of their disposable income after paying for tax. This is a huge amount to pay your local power company. Naturally, this money can be better spent if it wasn't used to pay your bills.

In ten years time, you'd have spent $36,000 on electricity. If you take inflation into consideration, you'll have spent much more. A conservative inflation of 3% per annum will bring your total energy bills to more than $41,000.

When you build your own solar energy panel, you are likely to own it for at least 25 years. Your energy bills (taking inflation into consideration) will cost you more than $131,000 over that same period.

Therefore even if you make very expensive mistakes and explode your cost of solar energy panels to $30,000, you will still save about $100,000 (in energy bills) over the lifespan of your solar power generator. But homemade solar energy panels rarely cost that much. Retail panels do. When you roll up your sleeves to make your own panels, you can pocket the difference. The quality and lifespan of DIY solar energy panels will not be very different. The cost of owning them will. Therefore you will really be saving much more than just $100,000.

Initially, it seems like solar energy panels are going to cost you money. But in fact, they help you save quite a lot in energy bills, enough to be a major contributor to your retirement fund. Thus you can surely consider it as an investment. An initial investment of $10,000 (it won't cost that much, really) gives you back $100,000 in savings, which is 10 times return on investment over 25 years. Can you really find anything comparable to this on Wall Street?

The best action you can take for yourself this year is to build your own solar panel. The sooner you build it, the earlier you reap the rewards of your labor.
