Response #15 to An Overview of DIY (Do It Yourself) Solar Panels"

As stated in my notes, solar power is easily the most available energy resource available. This is important, but the positive effects are diminished by the fact that solar panels are very expensive, or at least professionals charge a lot for the installation of them. DIY, which stands for do it yourself, is a term applied to many things, and one of those is home built solar panels. There are a number of online guides which show you how to make your own for hundreds of dollars less. They might not look pretty, and they don't produce enough energy to provide power for a big house like a mansion, but then again they are designed for accessibility by the middle. Right now price is the single reason why solar power is not much more widespread, and the DIY attitude is what is needed to significantly deter global warming.
