If you are interested in clean energy and helping the Earth, there is no better way than solar.
Many people can install their own systems with the right skills and solar kits.
But you should consider some factors before you start. 1.
Do you want to reduce utilities?
If the main reason you consider solar power is to cut your electricity bill, you need a grid
Feedback power back to the connection system of the power grid.
The right kit is available here.
With new technologies such as micro inverters that reduce costs, these kits have become more affordable over the years.
You will still need to get permission from your utility and may also need to get some building permits from your city license department. 2.
Do you want to power remote areas?
If there is no electricity where you need it, then you will want one
Solar power generation system.
These systems are completely self-contained.
Solar panels, batteries, charging controllers and inverters are included.
These systems can even come with a shell or shed to accommodate all the components.
These systems are much more complex than the grid.
But it\'s usually much cheaper than introducing utility power.
In the case of long bad weather, it is always recommended to have a backup power supply such as a gas generator. 3.
How many rooms do you have?
The solar panels you install will take about 1 square foot per 10 watts.
So if you decide you need 1000 watts, the panel will need about 100 square feet.
Contrary to what is widely believed, solar power does not have to be installed on the roof.
This is the preferred method, but there are a lot of ground installation options if your roof is not ideal. 4.
What is your budget and solar demand?
There is always a tug-of-war race between your electricity needs and your budget allows.
It\'s better to talk to solar professionals to determine how much solar you need, even if you plan to install your own kit.
But you can explain solar components with some rules of thumb.
For equipment only, without installation, you can expect to pay about $4 per watt for the grid connection system and about $7 per watt for the off-grid system. 5.
Do you have skills and tools for DIY solar energy?
You should be honest with yourself before buying solar kits.
Can you use electrical components safely?
Is it OK to work on a roof or high?
Do you have the tools and skills to use them?
Before and after the project, you should always talk to the solar contractor and/or the electrician master to prepare yourself and make sure everything goes well.
