                                                     Building Solar Panels

I was very interested in finding ways to cut down on the amount of Electric we have to pay for every month.  So I started drying the cloths outside or hanging them in the house if the weather didn’t permit  for them to be hung outside.  I put all the electronics’ that consume vampire electric on surge protectors to make it easier to turn off the appliance’s when not in use.   I also bought the good kind of energy saving light bulbs.  All things combined only cut the bill down by about $50.


So I talked to my husband about making solar panels.  He’s like soldering is so much harder than you think.  I like I’m sure I can do it.  So I went against his advice & bought everything I needed to make a solar panel.  Which I don’t usually go against his advice, cause he’s usually right.

So I finally received all that I needed to make my solar panel with.  I had to purchase almost everything thru Ebay.  I set about building my solar panel.  I had one problem after another.   Man was my husband right soldering is not that easy. (I know I should of listened) 

I had so many problems with building the solar panel that by the time I’m done with it, it would have been cheaper to buy one.  Yep you read that right I’m still not done with it.  I’m not sure I will ever get the thing done.  I’m a pretty determined person, but this solar panel takes the cake.  I’ve even got in contact with a company that’s about 30 miles from where we lived & asked them what I was doing wrong on the soldering.  I sent them pictures & they really couldn’t figure out why I’m having problems either.  So between all the problems I’ve had building the panel & the time I wasn’t able to build on it cause of family problems.  It’s been almost 1&1/2 but it’s still not done. 

I’m so mad at the thing I don’t even want to try & finish it at this point.  My point is in hindsight I wish I would of never even thought about building a solar panel.  

I’m making some pretty easy money online now.  So I think in a few years time after we buy a new place to live, (with my new online job) that we will buy & pay for in cash enough solar panels to cover our entire eclectic bill!  If you’d like to know how you could earn enough to do this also just click my link below & I will show you how!
