Power Your Home With Home Solar Power Systems

Most households are very inefficient with their electrical usage. Spending some time first identifying where electricity is wasted and eliminating this waste is an absolutely necessity if you want to implement home solar power systems.

If you are considering running your home on solar and make solar your only source of power, you will need to make some major economies on power requirements to make such a system a practical option. If you are prepared to do this, home solar panels for your home may become a practical option for you. Providing electricity for a holiday home, however, is well within the capabilities of home solar power systems, so long as heating and cooking are catered for using gas or solid-fuels and the site is in a sunny position with little or no shade. In this scenario, a solar power system may be more cost effective than installing mains electricity if the house is ‘off-grid’ and is situated away from mains electricity.

If your requirements are more modest-providing light for a lock-up garage for instance – there are off-the-shelf packages available to allow you to do this for very reasonable amounts of money: around pounds 130-150 ($180-$220) will provide you with a lighting system for a shed or small garage, whilst pounds 200 ($300) will provide you with a system big enough for lighting a large stables or workshop.

This is far cheaper than installing mains electricity into a building, which can run to thousands of pounds even when a local supply is available just outside the door.

Low cost solar panels are also ideal for charging up batteries in caravans, recreational vehicles or on boats, ensuring that the batteries get a trickle charge between trips and keeping the batteries in tip-top condition whilst the caravan or boat is not in use.

Alternatively, you can choose to build your own solar panels from the comfort of home.
