When you "Do It Yourself", you can cut your costs to a fraction of what "retail" would normally cost. It's a fun project, and with this step-by-step guide, you can quickly and easily start producing your own electricity.<br><br> A few years ago, I started looking into solar energy. Just like you, I started with an online search exploring on how I could save money with solar electricity.<br><br> I was shocked to see how much it cost to have solar panels installed at my house! The estimate I received was over $35,000 and the payback time for that was just way too long. I certainly didn't have that kind of money, not even close.<br><br> I was resigned to the idea of paying the electric company each and every month until I met a friend who had a solution. My friend explained that he was building his own solar panels for just a fraction of the cost of new retail solar panels. And he wasn't alone.<br><br>
