When I hear about living off the grid, the immediate points that come up in my mind are a greener Earth, no pollution, unlimited natural and renewable resources, no harmful residues, and the best of all - lower electricity bills. Solar energy is a great resource for you if you are planning to go off the grid.

Even though living off the grid may seem to be a very tough choice to make, you can still get off the grid if you are aware of how to go for it. Let use see how to make your own solar power unit yourself and learn how to live off the grid.

Solar Panels - The Cost Involved

If you are planning to use solar energy for your plans to live off the grid, you will need to get hold of solar panels. These solar panels may cost you a lot of money. Another cheaper way to go for it is to make your own solar power unit yourself. However, you have to be sure of what you are doing. If you decide on building such a panel with whatever you can get hold of, you may end up with something that will not be able to light up even a single lamp. Undoubtedly this is not desirable.

Solar Panel Kits

You can opt for solar panel kits instead. These do-it-yourself kits are very easy to mount and you can make your own solar power unit yourself with such kits. You won't even have to call a technician to help you with any of it. These kits come with a very detailed instruction manual and contain all the tools you will require for the job. If you do a bit of research on the internet, you can get all the information regarding where to buy these kits from and whatever else you need to know.

Solar panel kits will save you time to set up the solar unit in your home and a lot of money on the cost of purchasing a ready-made solar panel. Even the cost of a technician can be eliminated. With a solar panel kit, you can very easily go off the grid and reduce your electricity bills, and help protect the ecology of the Earth.

Description

You've seen them in restaurants and theaters--those tubes full of lights proprietors use to mark stair edges and other potential hazards that might be fallen down or tripped over in dim light. That's not to say that Good Earth Lighting's rope lighting products can only be used in public venues--you could use them as funky accent lighting in a living room, party lighting, or to outline a path in your backyard.The key to using these lights to full effect is mounting them securely, and everything you need in order to do this is included in the hardware kit, which contains mounting clips, cable ties, and screws. The lights themselves are extremely long-lasting--they're rated at 35,000 hours, and the heavy-duty PVC rope is an unobtrusive 3/8-inch in diameter. For longer runs, you can easily connect one set to another (up to 330 feet maximum).The G9548CLR-I is 48 feet long, and operates at 120 volts. If you need more length per set, see the 6-, 12-, and 24-foot models (#G9506CLR-I, #G9512CLR-I, #G9524CLR-I). Note that these lights will heat up when in use--they should not be left on unattended. UL listed.--Josh DettweilerWhat's in the Box48-foot lighting rope with built-in bulbs, six-foot plug-in cord, mounting hardware (mounting clips, cable ties, screws), owner's manual
