Want a cheap, eco-friendly way to beat the heat?

These do it yourself videos will teach you how to build a solar panel (1st video) that you can use to power a home made air conditioner (2nd video).

Note: Building your own solar panel is kind of an advanced DIY (do it yourself) project. If you want to avoid all the fuss, you can pick up an already assembled panel from Amazon.com, and the government might even reimburse some of the money you spend on solar power. See the links at the end of post for more info.

Even small apartments can be spendy to keep cool in the summer. A set up like this could pay for itself in no time. Plus you’ll have the satisfaction of generating your own renewable energy which really ticks off the giant power companies 🙂

Here’s some links to buy solar panels online, and maybe get some government tax credits for going solar:
