    I built my own solar panel to power things at my house and cut down on the electricity bills. It was actually really easy and I built it in one weekend.

    Definitely saved some money over those expensive systems that cost 1000’s.

    Check out the plans I used here:

    I don’t know about companies in India, but what you might do is look around for someone who has a system, then ask where they got it. If you have trouble finding anyone with a system, maybe it’s not a very good deal.

    If the home is in a less-developed area, and all you would be powering is a light, and a radio or TV at night, then you might get by with the kind of system they use in some parts of Africa. It has a 40 or 80-watt panel, and basically a car battery. The appliances run right off the battery, and no charger or other devices are used. This sort of system costs $200-300 when implemented by a nonprofit organization - I don’t know what the cost if you were to try to set it up, yourself.

    On the other hand, it sounds like you’re already connected to a power grid, and maybe already have a heavy appetite for energy in your house. A solar system with batteries tends to cost about $15 a watt in the USA, when hundreds or thousands of watts are involved. A system for a modest off-grid cabin will cost anywhere from $5000 to $30000, depending on the size.

    I think every one in india should use Solar system or some other renewable source of energy like wind mill power
