How to Live Off the Grid Quickly And Easily - 100% Guaranteed!
November 6th, 2008
Did you know that it is now possible to learn how to live off the grid without costing you a lot of cash?
The purpose of this article is to look at two methods that you can use to help you in learning how to live off the grid. These methods will indeed help you to save thousands of dollars over time, as well as help the environment.
For the first method, lets look at how to build and install a wind turbine generator.
The two ways to approach this are, to have a wind turbine system installed by a professional company. Whilst this is obviously the easy way to go about getting one, you will also find it the most expensive way. Professional installations can cost up to $20,000, and in turn take you maybe up to 15 years to get a real return of investment. The other way is to build your own.
A wind turbine can be built for under $200. All the parts needed can be bought from your local hardware store. Even old auto parts can be used on this project. Take this approach and you will find yourself in profit very quickly.
The second method to live off the grid is to build a solar panel.
You will find that solar panels are just as expensive to get installed as a wind turbine, if you go the professional route. However, just like the turbines, solar panel panels can me made at home very easily and cheaply. They’re not as difficult to build as you might think. All the parts can be found at your local hardware store. The main components are:
- A car battery
- Some copper sheets
- Metal tube, for the main framework of the solar panel.
- Electric wire
There may be a couple of other very small parts to get, but that’s about it.
You may choose one method, or choose the other. You could even combine both methods and really start saving money. You just need to take action and give it a go.
The real trick to all of this is to find a very good guide, that can show you in detail, and with easy to follow steps, on how to build these systems. Be careful though. The quality in guides out there can be very mixed.
As you can see, learning how to live off the grid is not that difficult at all. All you need are parts from your local hardware store, and some space in your workshop or garage. You should be able to put one of these generators together within a weekend. Give it a go, and start saving.
