We've all heard the warnings concerning the depletion non-renewable energy and the need for alternative energy supplies.Any many of us know first hand of the increasing expenses for traditional electrical and power sources. We are reminded each month when we open a power bill or make a payment for electricity. Each day more and more consumers who are listening to the warnings or becoming discouraged with costs of traditional energy resources are beginning to make significant changes to their lifestyles. An increasingly popular choice is to live "off grid".

Living 'off the grid' means the replacing traditional methods of power and electricity use with renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind turbines. This move is certainly good for the environment and it can literally save you hundreds of dollars in electric expenses.

Alternative energy solutions such as solar and wind power reduce your dependance on public services which in turn saves you money. Lack of power failures, sources of free energy, and abundance of natural power are other added benefits. These renewable energy sources will heat your home, light your room and even cook your food!

But before you rush out to purchase solar paneling or wind turbines and hire an installer consider this: pre-manufactured panels could be well over $20,000 and take 30 years to recover the initial conversion of a solar house. Generally that's too much money and too long of a payback time for most people.

So how about creating and installing your own solar panels? Or building and setting up your own wind turbine? It's not as intimidating as you may think. With the proper plans, training and support you can set up a solar-powered home in no time. It's a lot cheaper and will pay for itself in months instead of decades. And this may surprise you, but do-it-yourself (DIY) solar paneling and wind turbine building can be very easy. In fact anyone can do it. People from all parts of the world are saving thousands of dollars in retail prices.

Get your solar energy project started off to a flying start with the right tools and clear, correct step-by step-instructions. Expert, detailed and easy to follow plans and videos cab teach you to:

mount and install solar panels;
