Learn Hub:Do It Yourself Solar

When you choose DIY solar, you’re taking control of your solar project. While a DIY solar system involves some extra effort, you can act as your own project manager and save thousands when setting up your solar panels. You can build it yourself, hire local laborers to help, or do a mix of both.

Regardless of which approach you choose, our Do-It-Your-Way Solar Guide will help you learn everything you need to know about DIY solar panels, including planning, system design, set up, and more. And, you can sign up for our FREE DIY Solar Workshop when you’re ready to get started.
