To reduce your electricity bill, you should first save the energy you use. Only turn on the electrical appliances when you really need to use them and remember to turn them off when you have finished using it. That's simple and everyone knows. So I will not talk about it here.

To reduce electricity bill more effectively,you can make power at home yourself. This is in fact not that difficult and expensive. To make power at home,you will need a solar power system and a wind power system as backup. If you want to get them professionally installed this would cost you $2000 or even more. However if you DIY the system yourself, you can reduce the setup fee to around $300 and $400.

DIY solar panels

You can build a great looking solar power system for as little as $200 - Simply by using parts found at your local hardware store. You can use this system to power up basically any appliance you have in your home: fridge, washing machine, computer, TVs, lights. Moreover, you can even take this with yourself when you go camping, because it's highly portable.


DIY windmill

Wind power is a very good source of power especially when there is a long period of cloudy days. Because the sunlight is not strong enough at that time, a windmill can produce the electricity as a backup.

And during sunny day it still works. So it is better to have a wind power system. DIY windmill is cheaper, it costs you less than $200 to make because there is some clever method to get the materials you need.

Store residual electricity

If you are producing more electricity than you actually using, you can store them in batteries for future use. You can DIY batteries from some electrical appliance that you no longer use. In some country, you can even sell the electricity you produced to the power company to earn some extra cash.

Who can use the system

To install a power system at home,you need to have a backyard to place the solar panels, windmills and other appliances. And there should be strong sunlight and wind to produce the power.

You can even eliminate the electricity bills


Depend on the power that your home needs, you can build a more powerful system with more solar panels and windmills and you will have your electricity bills eliminated. This would cost you more but in long run you will save a lot of money so it does worth.
