How to go solar from DIY Life
Thinking of cutting down on your environmental impact with an eco-conscious home? While there are countless small changes you can make to your home life, reducing your reliance on traditional energy will make a big difference. To do this, you might consider solar power.
In honor of Blog Action Day, DIY Life has created a easy-to-use guide to "solar-powered battery chargers, and other solar devices that you can buy or build yourself."
I'm particularly interested in the self-contained and do-it-yourself solar energy systems highlighted by blogger Gary E. Sattler. These are systems that, once installed, could theoretically power your house. While they're expensive, these systems will get you "off the grid," and -- at least according to some estimates -- will save you so much money on annual electricity bills that they'll be worth it (financially speaking) within three to five years.
