You will want to come back often. We have resources for learning,
calculating and purchasing just about anything related to solar
power, wind power, hydro power, hydrogen power, biodiesel equipment,
pumps, solar batteries, solar hot water
heaters, chargers, power inverters and books.
Our goal is to make Solar Power Simplified!
As
soon you enter our site, the Earth4Energy DIY
System will appear in the main window. (This is the program
I got started with and still use.) This program is a wealth of information
and knowledge. Be sure to check out the entire program before you
move on to our menu at the top of the page. Our menu is self explanatory.
Just click on any link to go there. On the left side of all pages,
some great resources appear and new ones are continually rotating
out, so if you see something that interest you, go ahead and click
on it, it may not be there when you come back. At the bottom of
this page we have some great resources for calculating your alternative
energy needs.
How
I Got Started With Alternative Energy
As environmental
issues become far more of an every day topic there are more and
more people who want to do something to make a difference. I was
concerned at the lack of action by the government and wanted to
start making my own impact on reducing global warming and one of
the best ways was to consider switching to solar energy.
When
you stop and think about the impact that pretty much all our power
stations have on the planet you can see just how much of a difference
it would make if we all switched over to using solar panels to produce
our energy instead. Not to mention the rising cost of electricity.
The thing
I find when the topic of installing solar panels crops up in a conversation
is that many people think that they are expensive to fit and difficult
to do. The truth is that they can be very inexpensive if you are
prepared to build them yourself. You can get started for less than
a couple of hundred bucks in fact. With the three step process
below, you don't have to be an electrician or a rocket scientists
to build a great reliable system. This is truly Solar Power Simplified.
They
are simple to construct providing you have a good set of guidelines
to follow and if you have even modest skills with a toolkit you
can get going in just a couple of days. The job would make a really
great weekend project for the average handyman, or woman, who enjoys
DIY. It is really a fun and rewarding project.
I purchased
the best set of blueprints that comes with a comprehensive manual
and accompanying videos that have been tested on non-techies (like
me) to ensure that they work for the layman. They also have a list
of the things you will need, and actually tell you were to find
them, including the high quality deep cycle batteries. These would
normally set you back around six hundred dollars each but the manual
tells you where to get them free of charge. You can get it all here.
I started
small with the intentions of adding on as I had the time and money.
I initially built a system that would run a small freezer, small
refrigerator, electric blanket and run my water pump to fill my
tank twice a day if I needed it to. It will also accommodate my
lighting needs.
I live in the mountains in New Mexico and the power goes off for
a few hours almost every time we have a thunder storm. No problem
any more! I will be off of the grid totally in a few months.
Its been simple and fun!
You can
