solar power kits
Do it yourself home solar power?
Anybody have any personal experience (good or bad) with do it yourself solar power kits to hook up to the home? I’ve seen a lot on the Internet. The same company is both recommended and warned that it’s a rip off, depending on the website. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have been living on a stand alone solar system for about 16 years now, so maybe I can help you out a little. Last week, a friend of mine, called me and asked me to help him find out which of his panels were bad and after spending about 2 hours , we found 3 of them. They are all about 10 years old, and after calling one of the local solar places, found that all three would be exchanged for 90% of the full value, which means that he will be out only about 150.00 instead of about 1500.00. That is the reason that all of us out here in the boonies living off the grid will not even consider building our own panels. Mine have a 25 year warranty on them and the company is very good about it. Yes , the initial cost is going to be high, but years down the road you will be very happy about this choice should you choose to go with it. If you attempt to build your own, you on your own, Forever. Good luck with whatever to choose to do. Rock
