Believe it or not – Solar electricity for the home is a reality. It’s possible to slash your electricity costs by up to 80% and in some cases to eliminate them completely.

I have a friend who went completely Solar at home and had all of the work done by contractors.  The initial cost was $40,000.00 but with Federal (US) and State (California) rebates he was able to reduce his costs to $25,000.00. He has cut his electric bill from $11,000.00 to under $2,500.00 per year.  During the day the Solar power that he produces completely powers his home and the “excess” power is automatically put back on the grid.  His electric meter actually runs backwards – giving him an instant rebate!!  He is saving about 77% per year and should reach break even point in less than 3 years.

Due to the amount of government rebates that my friend received his breakeven point is most unusual as the average payback period for a commercial solar panel installation is roughly 15 years. A DIY solar panel’s payback period is no more than 2 years. This figure obviously varies according to the sunlight intensity at your location.

For those of us who’s pockets aren’t so deep there are other solutions to the problems of creating such energy. A good place to start is to click right here to see what our Featured Vendor is offering.  Believe it or not, there are plans out there that will enable you to build solar panels, even whole solar electricity systems for a fraction of the cost you’d be faced with were you to employ professionals. These plans are written by top experts which take you through the various steps on a very easy to follow basis.

Some come in kit form, others simply as plans. The latter mean trips to the hardware store, but either way you can save a great deal of money. As we all know, the Sun’s power is immense, as is its size.  It makes sense that something as massive and powerful as our Sun should be able to produce all the solar electricity you could possibly want.
I strongly suggest looking into this. A lot of these plans make it really very simple for even the most technically challenged among us to build something that will at least power a workshop or one or two rooms in a house, and every little helps.

As you go on and become more proficient, you may save a barrel of money with a house run on solar electricity.  As a backup plan you can build your own wind turbine for night and cloudy days.
