Description
Living with Solar Energy
Energy self-sufficiency is affordable. In just two years the price of solar panels has been cut in half. They are being produced more economically in automated factories. It's become a buyer's market.
A Kyocera 135 watt panel will cost $330, the controller $100-500, and $200 for each schedule 24 AGM battery. A 600+ watt system comes to well under $2500.
If you are not a do-it-yourself kind of person, and have to depend on others to install your system, find a technician who not only has experience but also lives solar. Ask if he/she can walk you through their own system and explain how it works. You need to find someone who will give you the biggest bang for the buck.
Only someone who has lived it for years knows: the efficiency, quality and lifespan of hardware; where to get the best prices; and, will give you a bullet-proof installation that will last for twenty years.
If you can't find a knowledgeable tech you might be better off installing your own system. By building your own system you become familiar with the hardware and learn how it works.
All you need are a few basic tools. A multimeter that registers polarities (+/-), needle-nose pliers, driver, drill, wire and connectors. It's not that difficult and relatively self explanatory.
This ebook is not just about how to install off-grid solar electrical systems but also solar oven and solar ebike construction.
The process of going Green is not only good karma but, in the long run, saves a lot of money. Once you have paid for the hardware, the resulting electricity is free for lasts at least two decades. It pays for itself in 3-5 years.
“I am so happy to have gone solar. The initial costs were high but the free energy has raised my quality of life. I get no electric bill, there are no “brown-outs†and my gasoline usage is next to nothing.â€
