Just imagine for a moment that you have built your very own wind turbine or solar panel system. Now imagine the feeling of being able to produce your own electricity with a clean, free and renewable energy. No more high electric bills. No more unreliable power from the grid and no more worrying about the ever-increasing energy rates.

You can have all of this with off grid power systems. But, if you invest in a commercial wind turbine or solar panel system, you had better be ready to spend upwards of 10,000 dollars, possibly even more. How long is it going to take to get any kind of return on that investment? However, you can build your own off grid power systems that will produce electricity just the same as those commercial systems. And at a fraction of the cost.

For less than 500 dollars in most instances, you can build a wind turbine or solar panel system that will start producing free and clean energy for your home. Not only that, you can build these systems over the course of a weekend. These DIY systems are fully operational and perform just as well as the commercial systems. They produce the same electricity at a consistent and reliable rate.

You will be able to find all of the supplies you need at your local hardware store. There might be a few items that will need to be ordered, but nothing complicated.

And speaking of complicated, if you have the right plans for these off grid power systems, you will be able to follow along without any problem.

Actually, there is nothing overly complicated in building a wind turbine or solar system. Thousands of homeowners have built their own power generators, and there is an increasing number building them. As the rates for energy continue to climb as the demand for power outpaces the supply, your electricity is going to become even more unreliable. The power grids are not going to be able to handle the demand for energy in the years to come. That means more brown-outs, even black-outs as the system begins to fail.

All the more reason to get off the grid and start producing your own energy.

With just the slightest breeze, your homemade wind turbine will start producing the electricity you need to power your home. The smallest ray of sunshine will be enough to do the same. And if you start to produce more energy than you can use, you can deliver the extra power back into the grid. Imagine being able to supply your neighbors with energy that you produced for free, and getting paid for it.

That is right, getting paid for it. Your power company will send you a check every month that you supply electricity to the grid. Now how awesome is that? Generating your own energy is a great feeling, and getting off the grid is very liberating. You can finally ditch the unreliable commercial energy with one of these off grid power systems.
