Is Your Household Ready for Solar Energy?

Tuesday, 22 November 2011

By Keneth Henricus


Sunshine has been with us from the start. Because of the growing cost of electricity, the use of alternative energy has increased. Solar power is an excellent option for numerous countries that get a lot of sunshine. With each technological improvement and the decline in price, numerous houses nowadays are switching over to solar energy. With merely a couple of solar panels, and even a little amount of sunshine, you can get plenty of electrical energy for your household.

Virtually all homes are not built to take advantage of all the sunlight. More efficient designs today, however, have made it simpler to generate energy without calling for a lot of sunlight. The modern-day solar panel system are set up at a more steeper angle so houses that are not positioned to obtain a lot of sunlight can still create electrical energy. There is a rail system setup in many solar power kits which allow the solar panels to be positioned to get the maximum amount of sunlight. In addition, it is set up for expansion later on if needed.

Before you install a solar panel, you will need to know your electricity requirements. Once you have worked out your household energy consumption, you will know how big a solar panel system you will need. If your budget is limited, try starting small and see if you need to expand later on. If you have it installed correctly, you can find your expenses decrease by as much as 80% within one year. With just a simple solar panel system, you can work on the outdoor lighting system, and later on increase your system, and move up to the interior electricity.

When setting up your solar power system, the most important element is the inverter. You must ensure that you have the right size as the inverter will convert DC to AC. If you don't have the correct size, the solar panel system won't be effective. Even if you start small, getting a big inverter will leave room for expansion later. You will need to have a certified electrician to have this set up right. The toughest part of installing your system is connecting it to the electricity in your home. Stay away from electricity, unless you are a professional electrician.

Today is the perfect time to have solar power for your home since state and federal governments are extending incentives. Not only can you begin benefiting from your own solar power system that is efficient and eco-friendly, but special programs can help pay for everything. This is especially great if you are ready to try adopting a green lifestyle.
