Both of these claims are true, however they is one missing
piece between the first stipulation of building on
grid inverter solar panels for under $200 and the result of lowering your
energy bill by 80%
The Misconception about DIY Home Solar Power
While it is true that you can build a solar panel and create
home solar power for under $200, it is not possible to decrease your energy
bill by 80% with one solar panel. One solar panel will produce around 75 Watts.
This is nowhere near enough to dramatically decrease your energy usage. In
fact, you will have to build 10-20 of these panels in order to decrease your
energy bills to the desired amount.
Some places even go so far as to say "for $200 you can
lower your energy bills by 80% by building solar panels!" This statement
is completely false. As mentioned before, you can build a solar panel for under
$200, but you will need many to decrease your solar power grid
tie inverter energy bills.
