Of course, if the idea of putting together a solar kit to power your whole house is too much, why not try something smaller? Solar tech has come a long way. We now have portable solar chargers that charge just about everything: cell phones, laptops, tablets,  portable lights, small batteries, etc. The list is truly endless. Anything with a battery can be charged with a solar panel. And anything that runs off electricity can be run with a solar panel and a battery. 

     For most who enter into this journey, the matter comes down to self-sufficiency and a desire to be free. Having the ability to build a DIY solar power source allows one to live just about anywhere rather comfortably. If you get the urge to go green and have the patience to learn, DIY solar just might be right for you.
