The top reasons to build your own solar panels include:
1. Financial Savings:
You stand to save substantial amounts of money, thousands of dollars in fact by building your own panels. This is due in the main to the cost of having a commercial system installed, this cost can run into the many thousands of dollars.

Free power! Using solar power as you energy choice you will cut your electricity bill by a substantial, if your family home is anything like mine you can expect to save hundreds of dollars per annum.
You can also sell any excess power that you no longer require back to the power company.

Solar Energy is an extremely clean form of energy. There are no harmful emissions that are given off during the collection, production or consumption of solar power.
The energy source is renewable energy, as long as the sun shines brightly above us, there will be an endless source of solar energy just waiting to be used.
3. Stick to the man!
Move toward independent sustainability by building you own solar power system. No longer will you be tied to the grid, subject to government regulations or charges.

So as we can see there are a large number of advantages and disadvantages when it comes to solar power, although I’m sure you will agree, the benefits far out way the negatives.
