Residential solar power systems are getting more and more popular with the dwindling economy and rising cost of living. People who adopt the use of solar energy to power their homes are now experiencing real benefits that have improved their quality of life. Here we will look at the benefits of going solar and how anyone can power their homes with solar energy without burning a hole in their pockets.
The obvious reason that residential solar power systems are getting popular is the fact that home owners who adopt such systems are paying less or none for their electrical bills. They are also immune to the fluctuation of energy rates as they gain independence from utility companies. The only cost they need to bear is the cost of setting up the system the first time. In you are in US, certain states like CA offers tax rebates and credits for using solar energy to power your home. Last but not least, solar energy can generate electricity whenever there is sunlight and it is free. That means you can actually store up excess electricity generated for later use. In fact, some power companies even pay their customers on the grid who generate excess electricity.
Having said all that, commercial residential solar power systems can easily set you back by between ,000 to ,000. A good and recommended alternative is to build the system yourselves. The cost of the components required to build a decent system that is capable of powering your home has drastically gone down through the years and they are now available at your local hardware store. What you need is a guide that brings you through the detailed steps on building your first residential solar power systems.
The good thing about the system is that it is almost maintenance free. You can build it and forget about it. Only occasional clearing of the surface from bird droppings or any dirt if any is required and that's all. The system is self powered and self-sufficient.
