Is it possible, and if so, then how can I, get a free guide to making cheap, efficient solar panels?

FerretD asked:


I want to reduce my carbon footprint, and solar energy is completely renewable, and 100% clean energy, so I need help figuring out how to make solar panels that will power my entire house and will eliminate my reliance on the power grid completely (or at least 80%+).

We strongly recommend the book to anyone involved in renewable energy. It is a refreshing view on the role of renewable energy in our future … Truly informative, and best of all it’s free.

A few reviews of this book;

The quest for safe, secure and sustainable energy poses one of the most critical challenges of our age. But how much energy do we need, and can we get it all from renewable sources? David MacKay sets out to find the answer through a forensic numerical analysis of what we use and what we can produce. His conclusions starkly reveal the difficult choices that must urgently be taken and readers interested in how we will power our society in the future will find this an illuminating read. For anyone with influence on energy policy, whether in government, business or a campaign group, this book should be compulsory reading. This is a technically precise and readable account of the challenges ahead. It will be a core reference on my shelf for many years to come.

Common sense, technology literacy, and a little calculation go a long way in helping the reader sort sense from nonsense in the challenges of developing alternatives to fossil fuels. MacKay has provided a high priority book on a high priority problem.

MacKay’s book is the most practical, solidly analytical, and enjoyable book on energy that I have seen. Through a grounded yet playfully quantitative approach, MacKay illuminates the daunting challenges associated with possible paths to sustainable energy. This heroic work gets the energy story straight, assessing the constraints imposed by physical reality that we must work within. In so doing, MacKay delivers creative and useful tools so that we may quantify, visualize, and compare our energy options on a personal scale, deciding for ourselves what adds up. Like cold water on the face, this book snaps us out of our fossil fuel delirium and makes it clear that we must get to work if we want to maintain an energy-intensive lifestyle.

Do it Yourself Renewable Energy.

A Practical and Cost Effective Solution to Your Energy Needs.

A lot of people still seem to think that if they want a solar power system or wind powered generator they are going to have to shell out thousands of dollars. Truth is, if you have the means to do that then great! As long as you are utilizing some sort of renewable energy source you WILL save money on your energy bills, and of course so your little bit to help the environment. But unless you are paying a thousand dollars a month in energy costs, you won’t recoup your investment for many years.

Many people want these cost savings, but just don’t have that much money laying around to invest in a commercially installed system. Thats why you should seriously consider doing it yourself.

Folks, I know some of you are probably skeptical that you can buy a guide for under $50, materials for $200 or so and get a solar power, or wind generator system up and running producing power for you home.

But you CAN!

I have been using renewable energy in my home for a few years now and I can honestly say that I have saved well over $10,000 in those few years alone.. And when you consider what my total initial investment was, that is without a doubt the best return I have had on ANY investment I have made in my entire life.   Check it out, I can assure you that there will be no regrets!
