The quick answer is because I am really cheap!
I’d really like to say that I am looking to save the planet. But honestly, the real reason that I started to do research on installing my own solar panels is because I was looking for different ways to save money.
I looked at my monthly expenses to see what was gobbling up most of my money. I cut out a few expenses that I thought were frivolous. I cut my satellite radio, my subscription to Men’s Health, and my monthly tanning bill (just kidding). After cutting out a few things I was saving 20-30 dollars a month. That wasn’t really going to cut it. When I looked at the things I could somewhat control, I looked at my electricity bill and my water bill.
I started out by doing the things that most people so in order to save electricity and water. I made sure the lights were off in empty rooms, I turned off my computer monitor when it wasn’t in use. I cut back watering my lawn every day to every other day. I turned off the water when I was brushing my teeth. These things helped out a little but I was starting to get kind of addicted to cutting my expenses.
I looked into putting huge solar panels on top of my house but it was so expensive to get installed so I had to keep researching.
Then I came across a website called Earth4Energy. It said that it could teach me how to make my own home solar panel for less than $200! Being somewhat skeptical like most people I kept looking. But after doing a bit of research on solar panels, making my own home solar panel seemed like the most viable option.
So I figured what the hell and downloaded the e-book. To my amazement the book did just what the website said that it would do. It showed me step by step on how to make my own home solar panel. It tells you how to configure it and where to get the parts.
I started using my own electricity to power energy hogs like my refrigerator, my computer and my 55 inch plasma TV. My electricity bill went from well over a hundred dollars down to a manageable $33 on average. This book even shows you how to plug your electricity into your main power grid so you can even get money back from the electricity company if you produce more than you take.
I suggest you check out this website and see it for your self.
Do it to save the world!!!
Or just do it because you are a cheap ass like me!
