Hit the Trail With Portable Solar Panels
Green technology is the rage as well as the way that President Obama sees out of our current recession. I see no reason why innovative DIY solar panels could not give the economy a much needed boost and create numerous jobs at the same time. Solar is one of the most passive ways to generate electricity and the best part is that they require virtually no maintenance. Once they are up the just take in the power and with life expectancy of 20+ years that will be a lot of power. Different estimates have been done about the amount of solar electricity that hits the earth on a daily basis and it has been concluded that enough solar energy hits the southwest United States alone to power the rest of the country. Harnessing that power is the hard part.
Pricing solar systems is enough to make even big spender cringe. A new fully installed system can easily cost more than a new car. But unlike a new car it does not depreciate in value. It actually ads a substantial amount of value to your home. Not only does it increase the price but it is also a huge selling point for a home. Solar panels on a home make people feel good, make them feel like they are contributing to the solution. That goes a long way in selling a home.
So, if you could instal a DIY solar panel system and reap all of the benefits without spending an arm and a leg it would be well worth the benefit. There are numerous guides and packages about how you can go about installing solar on your home or even building your own solar panels, reducing the cost even further. Weather it be putting a full system on your home or installing portable solar panels on your RV there is a simple option for you.
Adding enough solar panels to your home could actually allow you to go off the grid and potentially collect a payment from the electric company every month instead of receiving an electric bill. This is actually encouraged by the government through tax subsidies and rebates. The initial cost could be high but the long term benefits are very broad.
DIY solar panels are an excellent project to tackle. You can put them all up at once or work on it over a period of time building as you go. Solar panels produce no pollution and do not create any environmental disturbance what so ever.
