Alternative Energy Sources For Homes - 2 Alternatives That Will Cut Your Electricity Bill

1. Windmills - Most of us have probably all seen those great big industrial windmills that are starting to go up all over the place, and sure, the rich can afford to put them up, but what about the average do it yourselfer? Well, you won't be building a 100 foot high windmill but a 10 footer will only cost you about $140 to make, and is very doable. All you need is some pvc pipe, a small generator motor, an old extension cord, some pipe fittings, some other electronic parts, and, of course, a step by step guide, and you'll be all set!

2. Solar Panels - These are also another option that you should give some serious consideration when looking for alternative methods to power your home. You can actually get all of the material you need to build a decent solar panel for under $100 and they are not all that difficult to find. In fact you may even have some of parts sitting in your garage or storage shed. Most of the other parts that you will need like solar cells and framing material can be found on E-bay and at your local hardware store.

People all over the world are testifying to great savings on their electric bill just by building their own solar panels and windmills. Why not give it a try yourself? Your pocket book may just thank - you.
