Solar panels are an excellent source of renewable energy but most people cannot afford to line their roofs with such expensive pieces. Not only are they expensive but traditional solar panel systems also take up a large amount of space, which is fine if they’re on your roof but not ideal if you have to place them in your backyard. But that’s all about to change because MIT researchers discovered that by placing solar panel systems in a zigzag position, you can receive 200% more power on only 2% of surface area used by traditional systems. In other words, you get more power with less space, which also means that you do not have to pay near as much in solar panels!

Backyard Revolution is an online program that teaches you how to take advantage of this new MIT discovery in your very own backyard. It breaks down the entire process – from start to finish – and simplifies the terms to ensure everyone can build their own mini solar plant regardless of prior experience or knowledge. You don’t need any fancy equipment or expensive tools either. Backyard Revolution lets you use a homemade solar panel to save money every month.
