Every day the media warns us that our planet is approaching an energy crisis because of the increasing worldwide use of power, and of the irreparable damage to our environment caused by the release of carbon dioxide when fossil fuels are burned.

Solar energy is one of the best solutions to the energy problem because the sun’s energy is abundant and renewable – if the sun ever quits shining, we won’t need anything anymore!

For the low price of about two hundred dollars, you can set up your own small do-it-yourself solar power system. The system consists of solar panels which produce electricity which is sent to a battery bank which stores the electricity until it is needed.

You can get guides and manuals with information on solar power and instructions on building your solar power system from the Internet.

They will include complete instructions on building a solar power system with a professional appearance, including blueprints for 100-watt solar panels and all the possible configurations, with diagrams and instructions for each arrangement. And they’re constructed with materials that are readily available and easy to find.

The solar electric cells available today allow you to produce electricity in a way that is both practical because it saves you money and also helpful to the environment because it cuts down on the use of fossil fuels.

The solar panels are typically made from 3×6 solar cell modules that are specially manufactured, and which produce electricity when they are exposed to direct sunlight.

Solar power systems produce direct current at voltages of 6 to 24 volts which is stored in batteries or is converted directly to 120-230 volt alternating current.

Solar-energy packages are available which include step-by-step detailed instructions on making a small solar panel. You won’t need a lot of knowledge or expertise to construct a solar panel, since the instructions contain illustrations and are written in simple English.

And once you have your solar system set up and running, it will start paying for itself by reducing your monthly electric bill, and it will also help save the environment.
