Solar energy at home

FD-ID comments on solar energy

Not only wind energy but also solar energy can be put into practical use at home. Today a supplier of solar panels visited us to have a look at the possibilities at our roof.

It is a flat roof of 5.10 meters wide and 4.00 meters deep, so about 20 m² surface. We will probably be able to put 4 solar panels on it. Details to follow next Tuesday !

A few years ago I started looking into solar energy. Just like you, I started with an online search on how I could save money with solar electricity.

I was shocked to see how much it cost to have solar panels installed at my house. The estimate I got was over $35,000 and the pay back time for that was just way too long. I didn’t have that kind of money, not even close. I was resigned to the idea of paying the electric company each and every month until I met a friend who had a solution.

Solar Energy, DIY Solar Panels

My friend explained that he was building his own solar panels and for just a fraction of the cost of new retail solar panels. And he wasn’t alone.
