Make Your Own Electricity - No Gimmicks!

So you’ve decided you want to make your own electricity. Well, you aren’t the only one! Literally thousands of people are discovering that creating electricity isn’t actually that tough. And the benefits are twofold, you can save a ton of money on bills and you’ll be doing your part to help the environment… if you do it the right way that is.

Not bad, not bad at all…

So, now that you’ve made your choice, what’s the next step in the process. If you want to take my advice, you’ll look into either solar or wind power to generate your own electricity.

Let me tell you why:

1) These are proven technologies. They work.

2) They are perfect for a DIY project. You can build your own solar panels or wind turbines right at home and once you get them up and running, you’ll be generating free electricity.


3) They don’t cost very much to build. Once you’ve figured out how to do the work, the actual materials won’t cost you more than a few hundred bucks. A good trade off when you think of your bills.

4) Information is readily available. Either by doing a bunch a research online or in the library or by purchasing a kit to help you through the process.

If I’ve still got you interested…great! Let me elaborate a bit on the steps involved in how to make your own electricity (using solar or wind of course).

Allow me to give you a bit of background on the two electricity options I spoke about earlier.

How To Make Your Own Electricity Part 1 – Solar Power

Let me start off by saying like any technology, solar power has advanced a great deal over time. Now, the average person can use solar power at home when just a few short years ago it would have been almost impossible. The technology is cheap, plentiful and as I already said, it works.

To keep it simple, solar power is capturing the sun’s nature and abundant energy and turning it into electricity you can actually use. Using solar cells linked together into a solar panel and then hooked into your houses power distribution system (with a few steps in between) you can trap and convert the sun’s rays into delicious free electricity.

How To Make Your Own Electricity Part 2 – Wind Power

Wind power! A pipe dream no longer, though of course the government has found a way to make it expensive AND inefficient. Once again, to break it down in an easily digestible format…wind power is capturing the energy generated by gusts of wind or a gentle breeze and changing it into electricity using a wind turbine.

Wind energy is an even simpler project than solar power. You can assemble your own electricity generating wind turbine for under $150. With a few a these guys chugging away night and day you’ll see a significant reduction in your electric bills in no time.

The best part of using a wind turbine is they are very easy to maintain. The parts are cheap and, wait for it…they work!
