We are indeed fortunate to live in a world of modern technology which has provided us the convenience of electricity at the flip of the switch. Most of our modern gadgets run on electricity and sudden power outages frustrate us no end. We take all this for granted and therefore cannot imagine a world without electricity or fuel for our vehicles. Neither do we stop to think that conventional energy which is obtained from natural resources like fossil fuels will not last forever. In the present scenario of global warming and ozone layer depletion, the world needs to make a lifestyle change to protect the environment for the future generations. We have to seriously look towards alternative energy and alternative fuels to take care of our needs.

Nature has provided us with an unlimited source of energy in the form of solar power. This is a natural resource, freely available and will be replenished as long as the Sun shines. Solar power is the energy obtained from the heat and rays of the sun. Solar power has many uses. It can be used to generate electricity using photovoltaic solar cells and concentrated solar power. It can be used to heat buildings directly by passive solar building designs, or cooking and heating food with the help of solar ovens. Solar Chimneys can be used to heat and cool air.

Alternative energy is the future trend and most of the technologies pertaining to alternative energy depend directly or indirectly on the sun. Solar energy drives the atmosphere and virtually supports all life on Earth. Heat and light from the sun along with hydropower, geothermal power and wind energy account for most of the flow of renewable energy. Solar Power refers to the process of conversion of sunlight into electricity. The electricity can then be used to power up our homes, businesses and industries to continue the cycle of life.

Agriculture depends on solar energy. Plants use sunlight for photosynthesis and thus produce food. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are closely related and use solar power as their source of energy. Solar water heaters were the earliest use of solar power and continue to be used even today. Solar cookers used for cooking and drying foodstuffs offset fuel costs, reduce demand for firewood and improve air quality due to reduction of smoke. Domestic use of solar power is the best way to conserve our natural resources.

There are many technologies which are being used to harness solar energy. Applications span through the residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and transportation sectors. Solar energy can be used to produce food, heat, light and electricity. The flexibility of solar energy is manifest in a wide variety of technologies from cars and calculators to huge photovoltaic plants. Recent price hikes and erratic availability of conventional fuels are factors that are renewing interest in solar heating technologies. Thus solar power is important to the very existence of the world as a whole.

Do you want to know how much does solar power cost? With the economy being in a mess, and the cost of commercially available power sky rocketing, it’s enough to drive you crazy. Solar energy is one of the few things that are freely accessible right now to the mankind and it can be tapped to generate electricity and save $1000s of dollars in the long run on electric bills. No matter where you live in the world, there is a solar system for you at a price that you can afford.

Portable Solar Power Cost

Portable units can be taken for a camping or a similar outing. A small and compact version which would cost around $120 is good enough for charging a mobile phone or an I-pod. A slightly larger system that would cost up to $1000 will enable you to run a small television or a radio on your outings.

Solar Heated Pools



Do you know heating a swimming pool for summer would cost you as much as heating your home throughout the year! That’s a significant amount of money to be spent on power. With the advancement in technology a couple of pool options are available for pool owners. A solar pool cover is the simplest of the lot and can be used in sync with a solar pump. The price of these would set you back by anything within the range of $2000-$4000.

Solar Hot Water

A solar water heater works on the principle of pre-heating the water up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit before it passes onto your normal water heater thus reducing the amount of energy your heater uses. A typical solar water heater would cost approximately $4600.



Off Grid Solar Power



If you’ve got a cabin in the woods or you just had enough of paying those electric bills, you can choose an off grid solar power system. These systems function independently and are best suited for remote areas that have little to no utilities available. The solar power cost of these units starts at around $1500 and can be as high as $5000.

Grid Tied System



It’s preferred by maximum homeowners today. Using it you will stay connected to your local power company’s grid. It’s going to be benefiting you in two ways; firstly you will never stay without power in case there are prolonged periods of no or little sunlight. Secondly, your power company might purchase the extra energy that you would produce. Isn’t that great! Saving on electric bills and along the way getting checks from them!

If you are on a budget its pretty hard to purchase a solar power system, as these cost way too much. No need to despair, do you know you can make your own solar power system? Using raw materials that can be easily found at the local hardware or electrical store you can make the same ready made solar power system for yourself…for less than…drumroll please….. $200!

Just look around for a good DIY guide that will show the exact steps that you need to follow to make your own solar power system. Prefer to go with one that has videos included with it and free 24X7 online technical support.

Hi there,
I’m trying to get a very basic understanding of solar power.

Can you tell me:
How many watts is required to run a laptop off power
And how many, roughly, to charge the laptop battery
how many for an mp3 player
a cell phone: simple -> smart range
a table lamp
a ceiling fan
a floor fan
a window a/c

Just want to get a feel for it!

Thank you in advance!

In this time of high cost electric energy, having your own homemade solar power can be beneficial especially, because solar power is cost free and abundant in supply. Read on, because we will discuss several advantages and disadvantages of solar power and later on we will tell how you can make your own homemade solar power for a price less than $500.

1. Advantages Of Solar Power

- What I like about solar power is that it is a renewable source of energy, no matter how much you use it. You will always find plenty of it as long as the sun is up. So you can use it over and over again without need to worry it will diminish.

- It doesn’t produce pollution, unlike any other sources of energy that pollute our environment incurring global warming to our world.

- Low maintenance cost. Homemade solar power equipment needs a very low maintenance cost and can last for a lifetime. Unlike any other generators you might just need to check it once a year and it would be perfectly fine.

2. Disadvantages Of Homemade Solar Power

- Unfortunately, solar power cannot be generated without sunlight; some areas have such a bad weather until they have only sunlight few times during the year.

- Ready made solar panel systems are still too expensive since they are not manufactured in large quantities and that could put people off.

How To Produce Your Own Solar Power

Buying homemade solar power is not cheap and can cost you thousands of dollars, however you can build your own solar power equipment for less than $500. You can find almost all the necessary equipments at your local electric store.

Some of the necessary equipments are small solar panel, deep cycle 12 volt battery, box for protection from children or animal, 12 volt DC meter and DC input.

Michael Harvey has written a guide on how to make your solar generator yourself that cost less than $200.
