Here's The
Problem...
The cost for
traditional
energy
sources is
far
out-pacing
income,
inflation
and
everything
in between.
And the
outlook for
them to
plateau -
let alone
decrease -
is dismal.
Let's face
it. As long
as we
'settle' for
whatever
rates the
energy
companies
hand us and
we continue
to blindly
pay and obey,
there is no
reason for
this
situation to
do anything
but increase
with
regularity.
I'm a
perfect
example.
Month after
month when
my electric
energy bill
arrived
(funny how
they're so
prompt and
courteous) I
would simply
drag out my
checkbook
and pay it.
Did I gripe?
Of course.
Did I 'do'
anything
about it? Of
course not,
because I
believed
like so many
others, that
trying to
fight it was
a case in
futility.
What
Happened...
I was having
lunch with a
friend on a
day that it
was
particularly
hot outside
and as
everybody
does, we
remarked
about the
weather. I
matter-of-factly
mentioned
how
ridiculous
my energy
bill was. He
asked what I
meant by
'ridiculous'.
When I
divulged the
amount of my
most recent
electricity
bill, he
shook his
head and
told me I
needed to
stop by his
house and
see the Home
solar panels
that he
built!
Solar
panels? That
he
built?
To say the
least, I was
intrigued.
So when we
got to his
house, sure
enough.
There they
were,
gleaming in
the
sunlight. I
asked, "How
much on
average do
you save
each month
on your
energy costs
with solar
power?" To
which he
replied,
"Everything!"
When I asked
what that
meant, he
proudly
informed me
that he no
longer
had
electricity
bills!
For me, the
answer to
that
question was
all too
clear -- I
wanted to
know
how to make
solar power.
And more
specifically,
how to make
solar power
panels.
From our
conversation
I learned
there are
numerous
'how to'
sources
available to
make solar
power
including
everything
from solar
generators
to
collectors.
I was ready
to stop
pouring my
energy
dollars down
the drain so
I began my
research
immediately.
I checked
into several
solar panel
installation
providers
and compared
notes on
each until I
had them
ranked in
order.
Here's an
overview of
my top
2...and
make sure
you read my
conclusion
at the
end...
