You probably already know that using solar panels is a great way to help the environment because they are a clean renewable energy source that bring no pollution into the climate (if you’re not yet familiar with the importance of protecting our climate from the threat of global warming I recommend you watch An Inconvenient Truth.)

But did you know that using solar energy can also save you a lot of money?

It’s true that if you buy a pre-built solar panel system that it will cost you a lot of money (although in the long run it may still be a good deal.) But there is another option: DIY Solar Panels!

If you follow the directions in the Earth4Energy Guide on how to build your own solar panels you can do so for less than $200. It’s pretty obvious how that could save you a huge amount of money. Many of us spend that much money on our electric bill for just one month!
