How To Build A Personal DIY Solar Power System With Less Than $99
Whether you are building a DIY solar power system or putting together a solar power kit for your children’s school project, the major components you’ll need are the same.
You should spend less than $99 (often much lesser) to build up the solar panel to power small electronics like your automatic gate opener, garden sprinkler or fishpond filtration system.
Recently I saw a 10-Watt solar power kit going for more than two hundred dollars. I immediately thought, “I can put these kinda stuff together in half a day for less than half its price!”
This is a 10-watt DIY solar power kit.
You can use it to construct your personal 12V solar energy system to power stuff like battery chargers, electronic gadgets and LED lamps.
If you’re into building DIY solar panels, you may be pretty familiar with these main components of a DIY solar power system:
1. A 10-Watt Solar panel
2. Charge controller
3. Battery
4. Diodes and Fuse
5. Switch
6. Wiring
If you hop over to eBay, you’ll find that a solar panel costs less than $35, a charge controller costs less than $25, and a 12V battery costs less than $20. Diodes and some wires cost just a few bucks. The total cost is less than $90.

You can check out these prices for yourself on eBay…see if what I’m saying is true. If you can take the trouble to monitor listings on eBay everyday, you can usually pick up even better deals than this within a week.
You can also drop your local supplier a line to find out if their prices are similar. I personally find that retailers can sometimes reduce to almost wholesale prices when they want to move their old inventory.
Using the same concept, you can also build pieces of 60 to 120 watt solar panels as part of your solar power system for your home…at a low cost.
I recently found some innovative ways to create a 60 to 120 watt solar panel for less than $200. I thought it was impossible. But this was before I read about an ingenious idea in a manual I bought years ago…

The one thing I find frustrating is my electric goes up in the summer time as I run my Air conditioner not just stay cool but for my health!
when I got my frist bill it went from 50
to 300 hundred dollars,so I called the electric company and they said I had used my global footprint of power and was in the forth trier of six trier step program!
This pissed me off and I want get off the grid, if cap & trade pases,everyone is going to see there bills not just go up but sky rocket according to Obama!!!
I live in CA. where we get lot sun so, I think I can get off the grid or get it so low it won’t matter what the liberals in the white house do to our electric bills in the name of ecology!!!
by the way we get little tax break while power company’s make huge profits and get way bigger kick back from the government for you to go green!
