3 DIY Ways to Produce Electricity at Home

Electricity bills are higher than ever these days. Everyone wants to save some and reduce their monthly power costs. The good news is there are several ways to generate electricity at home. In some cases you could actually make enough electricity to go off grid! There are 3 main choices: Solar panels, wind turbine and magnetic generator. Lets see which one is right for you.

DIY Solar Panels


This is a great option if you live somewhere with a sunny climate. With improvements in battery storage you can store the energy that you generate for use overnight. It's quite easy to make your own solar panels but you will need a lot of room if you want to really reduce your electricity bills.




Home Wind Turbine


If you live somewhere particularly windy then this could be the choice for you. Building your own wind turbine is achievable is doable for most folks as long as you have a good set of plans. The advantage of a wind turbine over solar power is that you can generate energy all through the night, not just day time.






Magnetic Generator


Building yourself a small scale magnetic generator is probably the best choice for most people. The main advantage over the previous two options is that you are not dependent on the weather. 

You can set a magnetic generator running and it will produce electricity continuously. It doesn't rely on the weather so they're suitable for any climate. Just get yourself a good set of magnetic generator plans and purchase the bits and pieces required and you're good to go.



Go Off The Grid!!

These are the best three options when it comes to home DIY projects for reducing your power bills. The good thing about all of them is that you can increase the number or size until you can go completely off grid.
