Simple DIY Sun Power - Budget-Friendly Snap Together ‘Veranda’ Solar Panels (VIDEO)
Budget-Friendly Snap Together ‘Veranda’ Solar Panels

Veranda Solar, a start-up based in Portland, OR and Oakland, CA, is developing small, easy-to-install solar power systems.

Easier to assemble than IKEA furniture, the snap-together, plug-and-play design is geared to DIY installations. Each unit is about 24” and will produce 60-70 watts. The rounded corners give them an artsy look.

SunPower Corp. and Stanford University developed the prototypes. The flat-ship kit will include panels, an inverter and all the bits needed to deliver power into a home. Installation can be made on roofs, windowsills, balconies or walls using only a screwdriver.

At a cost of $600 for the kit or $400 for add-on panels, these have a great potential as mini-micro contributors to an optimized distributed power grid system.

Veranda Solar makes affordable, beautiful solar panels that hang out your window or clip to gutters and balconies. Our panels easy installation saves you half the cost of traditional panels. They are plug and play. They snap together. Now you can make the decision to go solar and hook up your house, all in a single afternoon. Now you too can invest in your own personal green energy future. (verandasolar)
