To the casual observer, a child who is drawing or coloring in, is merely scribbling. The marks seem to be haphazard, almost meaningless. But there is much more happening in your young child’s mind while s/he engages in the physical act of drawing and coloring.

In fact, examining children’s drawing may give us important insights into how drawing fits into the overall physical, emotional and cognitive development of the young child.

There are a lot of DIY Solar Panel guides available to purchase on the market today. But I didn’t want to get ripped off. I’m not very technical, so I wanted to be sure that I would use the DIY guide and make the solar panels without pulling out my hair.

Check out these instructions on how to build a small wind turbine.

Seeing if the solar panel DIY guide was worth my time

Check out the top 5 DIY energy guides that I asked people in the green forums about.

I was sure I went through all the DIY guides available and see if they stood behind their product. All of the different brands did say explicitly that they had guarantees to back up the product. It was on thing to {spit words from your mouth just to make a sale, but I wanted to be sure they the company actually backed up their claim and fully supported the guarantee.} I did the next best thing and that was to see what other people had going on.

I didn’t want a biased opinion so I didn’t even bother reading sites with sales letters.

After looking at peoples’ reviews, I figured out that most of the sites didn’t honor their guarantee which really turned me away. There were a few that did say they were unhappy with the product, but eventually got refunds.

I finally found the two guides that weren’t cross off my list because they actually provided good customer support.

Are solar panels hard to make?

To be brutally honest, my next biggest issue was that I wouldn’t be able to make the solar panels by myself. I didn’t even go to college and barely graduated from high school. In fact, I work in a grocery store and that’s got to be the least technical job ever.

I needed assurance that anyone could build these solar panels, even a regular guy like me. I didn’t want to fully believe the site when they said that even a thirteen year old could build it. They could have been making that up. I wanted a point of view that was unbiased and not out to get something.

I had no idea how hard it really was to make a solar panel so I asked people in a green forum that I go to often. I saw some videos on YouTube on how they were created by ordinary people and talked to people that had created some solar panels.

I wanted to get rid of this worry and know that I could do it. To my surprise, some people have actually tried it and gave me their 2 cents.
