Do It Yourself Solar Power can help you save money and lessen carbon footprint. I learned how to do it after drinking 4 large cups of coffee…
My neighbor said it was impossible to make a do it yourself solar power system because it‘s fairly complicated and the process would require someone with high technical skills.
Well, I’m glad I didn’t listen to him!
Solar panels are expensive yet I still wanted to avoid using electricity to power my work shed. So what else?
I had to go the DIY route. I had to give it a fair shot at the very least!
Okay I have to admit that my first do it yourself solar power project wasn’t a bed of roses. Putting the components together was an absolute nightmare!
What’s the hardest part of all?
Well, soldering the cells was something I didn’t enjoy at all. But like I said, the entire assembling process was a nightmare!
My fault to be honest…
I was an amateur who tried to act like a pro.
See what happened was I discovered an instruction online. It was pretty detailed but it was also 100% text…There were no photos, no illustration plans, nothing of that sort.
So I viewed the instruction thoroughly and followed each step very carefully.
No good!
I failed my first do it yourself solar power project! The wiring and soldering section was all jumbled up!
So I went searching online and long story short. Found what I was looking for – amateur friendly video instructions along with printable manuals with photos.
