The DIY Solar Power Maintenance Guide for Beginners: How to Maintain Your Solar System from Home
Congratulations for considering DIY Solar Power to power your home. These are your alternatives for producing your own electricity.First mentioned is solar power, which is by far the most abundant energy source on Earth and is readily capable of supplying several times the present energy demand. Numerous individuals are adopting this energy source since it saves them money and is beneficial to the environment.
Another reason more individuals are switching to green energy is because it is now inexpensive and simple to make solar panels themselves. Did you know that you can purchase all the components necessary to construct your own solar panels at a hardware store? And that you can construct a solar panel for less than two hundred dollars?
What is Do-It-Yourself Solar Energy?
Solar energy is the process of converting sunlight into electricity. PV (Photovoltaics - a term used to convert sunlight into energy) directly converts sunlight into electricity.
Solar cells, which are devices that convert sunlight into electricity via the photovoltaic effect, are used to construct a solar panel, which is used to generate energy to power your home and is something you can produce yourself. These solar panels can then be installed on the roof of a residence or in the backyard.
This guide will show all you need to know about DIY solar power installation, building and maintenance right from your home.

Please see: Scott Davis
Scott Davis is an award-winning renewable energy project developer with decades of experience operating, installing, designing, selling and teaching about microhydro technology. He is the founder and president of Yalakom Appropriate Technology, and the author of Microhydro: Clean Air From Water. Scott lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
From Amazon:
Scott Davis dropped out of graduate school in 1976 to work on, among other things, a village scale hydroelectric project in a remote area west of Lillooet BC.
In the years that followed, he used, designed, constructed, installed, repaired and generally fooled around with the many microhydro systems that sprang up in the area.
In 1995, he and his wife and partner, Bonnie Mae Newsmall, founded Yalakom Appropriate Technology, an award winning renewable energy project development company.
Their projects were featured as case studies by the Canadian Renewable Energy Guide, in RETSCREEN -- Canada's renewable energy software and in Microhydropower Systems: A Buyers' Guide and the Commercial Solar Water Heating Buyers' Guide, published by Natural Resources Canada.
It soon became clear that the significant barriers to renewable energy investment in BC and Canada could best be surmounted by a nonprofit organization. To that end, in 2000, Scotty and Bonnie Mae founded Friends of Renewable Energy BC, which continues to find market solutions for our environmental problems. FOREBC's projects have included a market study of solar pool heating,a self-directed tour of existing renewable energy technology in Victoria, a renewable energy lecture series and a very successful microhydro workshop. More projects are planned, including the Streamworks project described in Chapter 49 of his new book, Serious Microhydro: Water Power Solutions from the Experts.
Today, Scotty enjoys working with Friends of Renewable Energy BC and life, especially the gardening, in Victoria BC.
