Build solar panels

as a means to getting free energy is something that more and more people are looking into. Did you know you can build your own solar panels, saving $1,000’s off the retail price? You have probably read about solar energy or seen it on TV, but have you tried it yourself? Maybe you should? If you do you will be please to know that you don’t have to pay the exorbitant prices that the commercial fitters charge because you can build solar panels yourself.

Why pay thousands of dollars for solar energy ($27,000 average cost) when you can build solar panels for just a fraction of the retail cost. You can build solar panels in single units or you can build solar panels to power your whole house. Not only can you save on the cist of installation but you will save money every month by paying lower energy bills.

Some people are saving 50% on their power bill and some people are reducing their bill to nothing. But what’s most impressive is that just by following some simple instructions some are able to build solar panels themselves and making their power company pay them!

Build solar panels may seem to good to be true but it it is true and it does work as you will see as you read this page and website.

Build Solar Panels

Build solar panels because when you heat and light you home or business using solar power you use a simple device that will direct the heat from the sunlight during the daytime to your energy needs when you need to use it. The heat that is emitted from the sun is free, no tax to pay or anything and yet lots and lots of people who just ignore this free energy source.

However, there are those who are switched on to using this free resourse and are cutting their energy bills. If you are one of the smart people, just keep reading.

Self build solar panels

are a simple devices that you use to attract and trap the heat from the sun.

Just like a car out in the parking lot gets hot when it stands in the sun and the windows are rolled up. The seats can become very hot, too hot to sit on. These seats and the car are a solar energy source because they trapped the heat inside. When this happens the seats will still be warm long after the sun quits shining directly on that car.

Creating a self build solar panels

project can be easy to do with a little thought put into it. With a solar source you need to think about all the things that attract the sun, such as metal, the color black, glass that is tinted or clear, mirrors and more. Now you might not know how to go about using the right material and how to build solar panels but their is someone who does.

It is a fact that there is an endless supply of sunlight to heat your self build solar panels and trap it for your energy use. It is not going to run out any time soon. It shines whether you see it or not and it’s energy is heating the air around you, right now!

You have probably read about solar energy or seen it on TV, but have you really looked in to it yourself?

Do you see the sense of why people build solar panels?

If you could would you build solar panels yourself or buy the commercially produced ones?

Answer this question – Do you want to save thousands off the cost of solar panels ? Of course you do!

Compare Gas and Electricity Prices

February 1st, 2012 by Malcolm

The advice of consumer groups and the goverment is to compare gas and electricity prices so you can get the best deal. Now because there has been a small reductions in energy bills the fear is that most people won’t bother to compare gas and electricity prices. But now more than ever consumers should be checking those power prices.

How to cut your energy bills and make the most of recent gas and electricity reductions

By Lauren Thompson Last updated at 9:51 AM on 18th January 2012 Recent gas and electricity cuts have saved households only £34 a year on average. Lauren Thompson explains how to make sure you’re on the best deal…  What’s going on with energy bills? All of the ‘big six’ companies have announced small price reductions in the past week, taking the average total annual energy bill from £1,293 to £1,259 — a £34 cut, according to comparison site uSwitch. British Gas has reduced electricity by 5 per cent with immediate effect. This will mean 5.3million people will save £24 a year on average. EDF will reduce gas prices by 5 per cent from February  7, allowing 1.4million people to save £36 a year. Scottish & Southern Energy will cut gas prices by 3.8 per cent from March 26. It means 3.5million customers will save £28 a year. Npower is cutting gas prices by 5 per cent from February 1, so 1.9million gas customers will save an average of £38. For the next two months, it is also waiving the £20 exit fees it charges 140,000 customers on fixed tariffs. E.ON is cutting electricity prices by 6 per cent from February 27. This means 3.7million people will see an average reduction of £33 and exit fees will also be waived. Scottish Power will reduce gas prices by 5 per cent, also from February 27, knocking an average £36 off 1.4million people’s bills. Bills increased by an average of £224 last year, so the recent cuts have only wiped out 15 per cent of this.

When to submit a meter reading

Why has this happened? Wholesale gas and electricity prices have fallen over the past year. British Gas says the ‘longer term trend’ of gas prices will be for them to rise. But Adam Scorer, of Consumer Focus, says: ‘Companies will respond differently depending on where they think wholesale prices are heading.’ Should I switch to a new deal? Now that all of the big six suppliers have changed prices, it is a good time to switch because there is a level playing field. If you are on a fixed tariff, it will depend on when you signed up as to whether you can now save money. You should also calculate if the exit penalties — typically £20 for gas and £20 for electricity — are more than the savings you could make by switching, although Npower and E.ON are waiving these fees. For example, those on British Gas’s dual fuel deal that expires in June 2012 are currently paying over the odds at £1,217, but those whose deals expire in October 2012 are paying only £1,045 — which is hard to beat, according to comparison site Moneysupermarket. The average standard tariff is now £1,251. But you can save money by switching to an online deal — where you input your meter readings and receive your bills via email. The cheapest online deal is First Utility’s iSave v9 at £1,030, or Scottish Power’s Online Energy Saver 17 at £1,085. If you want a fixed tariff, the cheapest is Ovo’s New Energy Fixed at £1,059. How do I switch? If you have access to the internet, you can use a comparison website such as Moneysupermarket, uSwitch or Confused. You can also use This is Money’s energy bill finder to switch. To get the most accurate comparison, you will need your annual usage in kWh (this should be on the back of your bill or on your annual statement) and the exact name of the tariff you are on. If you don’t have the internet, comparison website uSwitch’s free service ‘Send us your bill’ allows people to send them a copy of their latest energy bill and an adviser will call you back. Send your bill and phone number to FREEPOST USWITCH. Copies of bills will not be returned afterwards, but will be destroyed. Alternatively, you can call uSwitch on 0800 093 06 07. Is there anything else I can do? you should submit a meter reading the day before your price fall comes into effect, to ensure as many days as possible are billed at the lower price. Keep our table to remember when to do it.

Janis asked:


If I mount a flat surface which points to certain constant direction. At certain place of the world. I now need to estimate the maximum amount of Solar radiation energy which this surface can get during certain time. Is there a PC program or an algorithm that can make this estimate for me? The actual problem. I need to know how much maximum energy can I get during a year, if I put solar cells or solar collectors on my house tilted roof? Is there anyone who can somehow help me? Thank you in advance.

GNJ asked:


My dad surprised me and build my studio box but he took back the wood I bought. A man suggested to use the wood that is used in subwoofer boxes. The box looks GREAT but when my artist records, I can barely hear her on the mic. But If im on the outside talking, the mic(which is in the box) picks me up better than my artist who is in the box. That is weird! So now Im wondering if the wood wasnt a good selection. I haven’t bought the acoustic yet but the problem isnt the echo. It seems as if the box already drowning her sound out without the acoustic. Can someone please please give me some tips?! My dad did so good on the box and I would **** the problem to be the wood.

tom asked:


I am building a model railroad, and noticed the track plan does not include terminal sections. I am adding them so that I can divide my layout into blocks. I had an idea that I could build those electric boxes often found next the the rails to cover the terminal area. I did not find anything on this on the internet. If you know a website, or have had this idea and built them yourself could you post the webpage or your building instructions. It needs to be in HO Scale.
