With the popularity of renewable energy and home renovation lots of people are interested in what it would take to go solar without hiring a specialty contractor. People choose to install their own solar for a lot of different reasons. For some they are handy, have the time and interest, and would like to save money by installing their solar system on their own. Other people like the full control and flexible timeline do-it-yourself offers. Sometimes DIY is the best option for unique projects, challenging locations, or for those who are working on their project in stages.
