DIY Solar Kits Reviewed
With energy costs sky-rocketing, we decided to save some money by harnessing the abundant (and free) solar rays here in the Okanagan with a solar heating system for our pool. But rather than have a company charge us upwards of $3,000 for the pleasure, we decided to see if we could fabricate and install the solar panels ourselves.
Well, you’d be AMAZED at the number of DIY solar kits on the market!!!
After reading a number of them, we thought we’d save you some time by posting a review of the 3 best DIY solar kits that we bought – Earth4Energy, Power4Home and Home Made Energy.
