cheap solar panels for sale

One of the biggest set backs for solar panels has been the high costs that it takes to manufacture them. This in turn makes their retail cost very high. Well, not there is are some new solar panels for sale in the market by a company called Nanosolar.

Nanosolar’s focus has been to try and lower the cost of manufacturing the panels so they can easily be produced. They have done this by using a special ink to literally print the panels onto a sheet. According to Nanosolar they can make their panels for about a tenth of what it costs to make panels currently on the market today.

Okay, the title is a little bit long. A few weeks ago on solar panels for sale I wrote about ordering some new books. In particular: Solar Energy projects for the Evil Genius, 50 Green Projects for the Evil Genius, and The Home Energy Diet: How to Save Money by Making Your House Energy-Smart. Well, they arrived and I have had a chance to take a look at them. And to be honest I am a little surprised at the results.

My primary purpose for these books was to see what types of helpful projects they contained for installing or making your own solar panels, solar heater, solar cookers, and other types of green energy. I was also hoping for tips and help on making a home more energy efficient. So what did I find out?

Well it depends on what you want. The one I was looking forward to the most Solar Energy projects for the Evil Genius turned out to be the one that was the least helpful. It had a few unique projects on making solar cookers or water heaters, but most of the projects seem to be more about learning a concept rather than something that is actually useful.

50 Green Projects for the Evil Genius actually turned out to be pretty cool. It has info on how to install solar panels on your house, make compost bins, build water purifiers, and a whole bunch more. The thing I liked about this one was that most of the projects were useful.

The Home Energy Diet: How to Save Money by Making Your House Energy-Smart also turned out to be a decent book, but only for someone who owns or is building their own home. It was very comprehensive on how to get the most energy efficiency with your house. However, it was also not a simple book. I felt like I needed to be a contractor to understand half the things I read through. Unless you are building or own your own house this probably isn’t a great choice.

A few days ago I ordered a three of books about solar panels and green energy: Solar Energy projects for the Evil Genius, 50 Green Projects for the Evil Genius, and The Home Energy Diet: Ho to Save Money by Making Your House Energy-Smart. Two are for myself and one is a gift for a friend.

Once they get here I will post review on the books and of course any of the projects that I complete. I live in Japan, and the books will be coming from the US, so it might be a week or two before they arrive.

My hope is that these books contain some serious green energy and solar panel  projects and not just science experiments. I have mentioned before that there are a lot of pre-made solar panels for sale, but that you can make your own much cheaper (you can find more information on this by clicking the ad in the sidebar) and I am hoping these books will also include various methods to create other cheap green projects.

**Update: Since I posted this post this morning, I found out that the books have arrived in the US and will be shipped to me tomorrow. If all goes well I should have them within a week

So you have decided you are tired of handing over your entire pay check just to run the electricity in your house. Or maybe you want to use a more sustainable form of energy to help the environment. Using solar panels will not only help the environment, but it will help you save money as well. The only problem is that you aren’t sure where to get started. There are so many types of solar panels for sale it is difficult to decide which ones are best for you. Well, you’ve come to the right place. Cheap Solar Panels For Sale is focused on providing you with information to get you started and help you choose the best options.

When considering solar panels and other alternative forms of energy, the first question you need to ask yourself is, “What is your overall goal?” Are you looking to power a few appliances in your house, or are you trying to get off the electrical grid all together?

If you aren’t sure, then you might consider some of the various costs and benefits. Solar panels will cost money up front, but save you money every month once they are installed. You should also check for energy discounts with your local government. There may be a number of rebates for installing solar panels that will substantially lower the cost.

Of course, it is also important to consider your location and environment. Solar panels have gotten much more efficient, but you may need to consider additional methods if you  live in an area that gets little sunlight.

If you are still finding the cost of installing solar panels on your house too expensive, then you might try a “do it yourself solar panel” kit. There are now a number of solar panel kits and books available to help you install solar panels yourself. Most books will explain the basics and lay out the steps so they are easy to follow. If you are a hands on person this is probably the way to go. If you are looking for a good kit to get your started check out the DIY Solar Panels in the right sidebar–>.
