Poor Lloyd by mikeysklar
When I hear the word ‘kit’, I invariably consider putting toys together for my Kids, when the box stated “some assembly needed” I used to just cringe, when I read it! The instructions were invariably incorrect! Or, possibly it was just my interpreting of them. As the years went on, I got pretty good at putting things together. These days, just about everything that you purchase involves some sort of fabrication. Now, you can even put home solar panel kits together, and even make them from scratch!

When it comes to solar energy panels for your home, just a few years ago, it was only a fleeting thought, because solar panel cost was just too high! Nowadays, however, there are several more options available. Its like everything else. Supply and demand causes the selection that is available, and with always raising electric cost, and the economy making all of us take a closer look at expenses. There are more and more effective options available.

This day, there are some huge name companies offering solar kits, that you can build in your garage. Just to name a few, BP and general Electric are now in the Solar Power game. If you decide to go the kit route, make sure you do business with a reputable company. Just a few pointers to look for;

* How long has the company been in business?

* How long have they been not only in the solar business, but how long have they been producing kits?

* What’s the warranty? Who do you’ve to call for service?

* What all is warranted? Get a copy of their warranty, and check out the fine print.

* How clear are the directions?

* Does the kit have everything you need, or will there be surprises.

* Who do you call if you need help?

* How much electric will this system produce?

These are just some of the basic questions that you’ll need answers to. One more important one, is how much does it cost? I would opt for great answers to all of the above questions and pay a few dollars more, but thats just me. I experienced the old adage penny wise and pound foolish a long time ago.

Theres another option available too! You can build your own home solar energy system! Yep, thats what I stated, build your own solar panels! Thats the route Ive taken, and my reasoning is easy. I have the ability to build it at my own pace. I have the ability to begin small and since I know how to build them, I have the ability to add on to my system, when I have the ability to afford it. No huge cash outlay!
