Advances in solar technology have made many DIY-friendly
products available to consumers, several of which will be hitting the market
for the first time in 2011. These include solar water heaters, solar battery
charging stations, solar powered lights, photovoltaic shingles that provide
supplementary electricity, solar heat pumps, and solar panel kits that generate
primary home electrical service. Among the step-by-step projects is a solar
water heating system you can build and install yourself for under $1000; simple
thermosyphon solar heat collectors for barns and outbuildings; or "heat
grabbers" that you can fabricate for $50 in materials and position below a
south-facing window to provide auxiliary winter heat.
