Do-Yourself-Solar Technologies

Do-yourself-solar technologies -

Dadsolar.com, SEADS and MeSEA, have combined the energies of over 60 years experience, facilitating the learning process for those interested in becoming more self-reliant. The step-by-step process we use in assembling a 60w PV module, can be viewed on the "about us" page. This is one of our favorite workshops, basically done the same all over the world, with a few minor differences, determined by the site and materials available.

As a not-for-profit, educational corp., we offer free consulting services to families who want to lead independent lifestyles, using solar, wind and other alternative energy technologies, to break the fossil-fuel addiction we all experience.

Using the basic solar, do-yourself methods developed over the years by independent innovators, we have been in the fore-front of the "green power" movement in Maine. Solar thermal (heat and hot-water), food dryers and cookers, solar greenhouses and other appropriate technology, has to get started somewhere. It is the innovators that pass on the methods for refinement, that have inspired our efforts. 

We look forward to meeting you soon and getting to the next step, working toward self-sufficiency!
