  1. Good luck it sure would be great if you can do it. this isn't what your asking about. But you mite find it useful


  2. You can build solar panel for less than $200 as you need a perfect guide which show you how to do all these things. You can get more information on how to build a solar panel for cheap with informational guide at http://www.squidoo.com/buildyourownsolar...  

  3. And you want to build it yourself? Not a chance, I looked into it.

    You can make something wind powered, water powered if you have the use of a river or (what I did myself) connect generators to a cyclette to power up 10 X 24volts truck batteries.

    I did it for fun but it produces a lot, pedalling very little. I have 6 X 24 volt truck generators hooked to it and it pedals very light, I produce more power than I consume, right now I have air conditioner and computer on it and a few lights.

    The most difficult thing to do was the gearing, using washing machine belts, I had to make a few bits on the lathe and I am not too good on the lathe but I learned in the end.

    Batteries can be got from the breakers'yard together with the gennies (the most expensive parts). But I am getting them in stages. I plan to have 12 of them by the time I am finished, they are light to run and produce a lot if you get the gearing right.
