Hyundai 5,300 Watt 406cc Diesel Powered Generator with Large Tank And Electric Start (Non-CARB Compliant) #DHY6000LE




With global warming finally being accepted as a horrible reality by even those that denied it for years, solar power is starting to gain more popularity.

The energy received from the sun worldwide in one hour is enough to power all our energy needs for a year. That's an amazing statistic.

Although we've had photo-voltaic (solar) technology for many years, it's only recently went into high gear with great advances being achieved. We're seeing higher quality, more efficient solar panels being manufactured, and at a lower cost.

One area that seems to receive little attention however is portable solar power. There are products available to be used in portable applications, but often times they're not cost effective if they see use only a couple of times of year on a camping, fishing or hunting trip.

There is an excellent alternative to buying commercial products though. For just a fraction of what manufactured solar panels cost, you can build you own portable solar panels.

Solar panels are collectively many individual solar cells connected electrically to have a cumulative voltage and/or current. These solar cells can often be found on popular auction sites such as eBay after they have been slightly chipped and can no longer be used or sold as new.

Besides the very low cost of a homemade portable solar panel, the builder also has the option of building panels that have specific voltage and current specifications. For example, if there was an application that required a voltage of 9 volts, and a current rating of 1.5 amps, it could be built as a custom designed panel.

If you're interested in doing your part to help reverse the effects of global warming...and you'd like to save yourself potentially a great idea of money, consider building your own portable solar panels, and also residential solar panels.

Building your own portable solar panels does involve soldering, but it's a skill that is very easily attained.

Within just a few minutes, you'll be soldering like a pro. Once you start to realize the rewarding benefits of using clean, virtually free, renewable solar power, you'll be hooked.

Save potentially hundreds of dollars a month on your current electric bill by building your own solar panels. Also, there's information included for constructing a wind turbine to generate your own electricity at home, using basics tools and products that are readily available.

A wind turbine can be built for under $200!! The cost of solar panels can vary greatly depending on the type of enclosure that you build, and of course how much you pay for the individual solar cells, but a single panel can probably be built for even less than a wind turbine.

Save your money...save the planet!!
