What to Know Before Purchasing Home Solar Electricity

Getting home solar electricity is more affordable today than 10 years ago. In fact, many state governments are currently offering tax rebates to persons that choose to convert to home solar electricity. If installing a photovoltaic system to supply your home solar electricity is too far out of your financial abilities, there are also programs available to purchase your utilities from an accredited green energy supplier. Green energy suppliers offer only utilities fueled by renewable resources, such as solar electricity, hydroelectricity and wind generated electricity. However, if you made the decision to switch to solar electricity for your home it is important to determine your electricity needs before you start shopping.

The first thing to determine is how much power you will need from your home solar electricity system. Different arrays and solar panel set-ups offer different wattage outputs. Take the time to determine your average daily electricity usage. You want to achieve a number that includes the entire year and affords for the different amount of energy used during winter and summer months (more lights, heaters, air conditioners).

When shopping for the right photovoltaic system to supply your home solar electricity definitely research the quality of the product. A product offering 13% efficiency and a lifetime warranty will be far more valuable than the panel offering 15% efficiency and a one-year warranty. Ask neighbors, friends and even strangers currently using home solar electricity, to learn more about the differences in systems. Sufficient time should also be spent interviewing installers and researching manufacturers as well.

A final decision needs to be made as to what kind of system you would like to use to supply your home solar electricity. There are generally three types of solar panel systems used to supply home solar electricity. The first type is a grid-tied system in which your solar panels are tied into your current power meter. You are using both electricity supplied by your panels and your supply is then backed by electricity from your electric company. The second available solar panel system for supplying home solar electricity is a grid-tie with battery backup. With this system you are collecting electricity from you panels, filling your batteries for emergencies and then the excess is sent back to the electric company through your meter. The final system is a stand-alone system. Very similar to the grid-tied system with battery backup except that you are completely disconnected or maybe never connected to a major utility provider for your area.

Once you educate yourself on providing your home solar electricity, you are probably ready to start shopping. Remember that converting to home solar electricity is an investment and you will reap the rewards over time. And don’t forget the pride you will have with reducing your carbon footprint by converting to home solar electricity.

Renewable Energy


First I Was Skeptical, But After Giving "Home Made Energy" A Fair Trial, I Saw First Hand
How Much Money You Can Save...

I wanted to share my experience in purchasing a product that many other people recommended: Home Made Energy.

I've been researching for many ways to generate renewable energy from your home.

It can be done. But until very recently this was very, very expensive.

Luckily, Bill Ford figured out a way to build a solar or wind generator for $200 or even $100.

I was skeptical at first when I saw their website. However, seeing that they provide a 60-day money-back guarantee, I decided to give it a fair trial.

And I was very pleasantly surprized by the whole experience with their product.

It taught me how to easily build a solar or wind generator. And I'm not an engineer or anything like that. It was that they specific details on where to get every piece and instructions on how to put everything together.

After about 6 hours spent on it and $170 invested, I had my own solar panel.

After another 5 hours spent and $120, I had my own wind mill generator.

I just had to try both these systems. And I had a lot of fun while building them.

Is "Home Made Energy" The Best Solution
For The Energy Problems We Are Facing?

I would say a big YES! Otherwise I wouldn't even bother to write about this.

You can buy a wind or solar generator and pay someone to install it. But from my research this will cost you at least a couple thousands dollars.

And the DIY products from Home Made Energy will generate all the electricity you need, with only a tiny bit of any other investment, whatsoever.

To me it was like buying "free gold". I save more on my monthly bill than I invested in the whole system.

This small thing that I've done for my home will save me this year thousands of dollars.

Plus, I have learned a lot from the Home Made Energy guide. Everything is explained very straight forward and it contains information that you need to know.

Otherwise you can rely on someone else. And you probably know how costly and frustrating this can be some times...

So, if you consume any electricity at all, this product is for you. I mean, you can even take your generators to family picnics. Yes, that means portable electricity!

Are There Any Negatives In Home Made Energy?

If I want to get really fault-finder about this, I can probably think of one or two minor things that weren't great about the product:

  1. Home Made Energy is available only for the English-speaking market. If you only know how to speak Spanish, German or French, this one is no good for you. Unless you have a translator. But if you can read and comprehend my review, you won't have any problems with this one.

  2. Home Made Energy comes as an electronic book (eBook). I would have probably liked more to hold a genuine printed book in my hand, without having to print it myself. But they do have a good reason for providing only an online version. They update the guide on monthly basis. They collect the information from users and also publish their latest discoveries when it comes to renewable energy. Plus another benefit to this is that you have instant access to it. It took me less than three minutes until I could read my own copy of Home Made Energy.

Other than that, I give to everything a 10. The product gives superb value for the money.

If you care at all about how much you spend or about a healthier environment, you should grab this product now. I've research for more than 2 years now and I honestly haven't found anything like it, by a big margin.

There are some other guides for DIY wind and solar generators, but all of those that I've read don't get into the same details as Home Made Energy.

Conclusions

This product is the best product I have bought in the last five years, at least. Quality is great. Value is superb.

If you want to save money on your electricity bill, be energy independent, or even help our environment, then you need to grab Home Made Energy right now.
