Generate Your Own Home Power \| Solar Panels If, in your desire to be self-sufficient with regard to powering your home, you decide that you would like to go down the 'do-it-yourself' road and build your own solar panels, you will have to do a bit of homework and ascertain how much electricity you use over 12 months - check your power bills (while you're checking your usage check how much you have paid over that time, also!). Then divide the total yearly consumption by 375 to find out your average per day. The next thing to do is work out how large a system you will require. The average production of a panel 1 square yard in size is 90W/hour, so you will need to know what is the average per day of sunlight hours where you live - (get this from the weather bureau or whatever government department handles this sort of information). Multiply the 90W by the number of sunlight hours per day to give you the daily production of power from one panel, 1 square yard in size. If you then use your daily production from one solar panel Live Well - Live Green! With all the advances in green energy technology, it is now easier than ever to start converting your home to run on clean, alternative power. There are many ways to implement your plan to make your home from being totally fossil fuel dependent to utilizing renewable energy sources.
