A few years ago I started looking into solar energy. Just like you, I started
with an online search on how I could save money with
solar electricity.
I was shocked to see how much it cost to have
solar panels
installed at my house. The estimate I got was over $35,000 and the pay back time
for that was just way too long. I didn’t have that kind of money, not even
close. I was resigned to the idea of paying the electric company each and every
month until I met a friend who had a solution.
My friend explained that he was building his own solar panels and for just a
fraction of the cost of new retail solar panels. And he wasn’t alone.
