Imagine if you could cut your electricity bill in half by adding a solar setup to your house. Now what if I said you could design and install your DIY solar power system and escape the labor costs?

Since available information in this regard is incomplete, DIY Source has prepared a practical guide on how to set up DIY solar power systems. DIY Solar Power for Beginners will guide you in customizing your grid, tied as well as mobile and off-grid solar power systems.

We will walk you through the whole process of building your own solar system, including calculating your electricity needs. This blueprint uses a pragmatic approach and emphasizes the essentials, while covering all the necessary details so that you will be able to DIY it, or, if you need to hire a contractor, you will know what to expect from them.

In this solar guide, you will discover:

  • Pros and cons of different types of systems, and guides to choose the proper one
  • Beginner-friendly guide on essential electricity rules and circuits
  • How to use solar installation tools
  • How photovoltaic solar cells and panels function
