What was once the dream of hippies and Mother Earth News readers is now becoming avant-garde in this time of economic upheaval. With predictions of further woes and the
Likelihood of more and more government regulation of our lives, the thought of living off of the grid (independent of public utilities) becomes more and more appealing to increasing numbers of people.
Wind energy is one of the alternatives generating great interest, as well as solar panels and solar water heating systems. The truth of the matter is, if you purchase hi-tech solar and wind systems for the average home, you will spend so much money that you’ll never recoup your investment, though you may truly be able to live off the grid. In fact, any extra electricity you produce will be purchase from you by local utilities. Still, the cost is prohibitive for the average household.
So many are turning to homemade systems, which may truly be built for a fraction of the cost of a retail investment and offers the same promise of fulfilling the dream of energy independence. A search on the internet will turn up multiple e-books and plans providing just what the would-be builder needs. With these plans you can expect to build solar and/or wind power units for $200 or less. Most of the parts needed may be purchased locally at hardware and auto parts stores.
It is so easy to build these units that any do-it-yourselfer can make them using simple tools and without special skills. There are detailed guides available to show you just how to do it, and they are available by using simple searches on the internet.
