Energy from Solar Panels can be used in addition to or as a substitute for the energy purchased from the power company. Solar panels convert energy from the Sun to DC electricity. This is direct current electricity is used in batteries. To provide power to your home, you need to convert this to AC or Alternating Current.
The price of solar power generation systems available in the market begins at about ,000 and goes beyond ,000. Low cost photovoltaic panels are available for about 0 per panel. The cost of the panels can be hugely reduced if you make them on your own. They can be made for as little as 0 each, which is a considerable saving over pre-made panels.
You need to purchase second hand, spoiled or individual cells from the Internet. You can significantly reduce the cost of photovoltaic panels if you buy individual cells and put them together yourself. In the readily available solar panels it is these individual cells wired together. If you wire them together yourself, you can eliminate the manufacturer. Arranging together solar cells composes Solar Panels. Two Panels or more than that is called an array. Solar energy can be effectively used to power your entire house if you have the right array of panels.
The service of an electrician to wire the panels into your home is another important requirement. Home wiring requires a professional and should not be attempted on your own. You would have to buy wire and plywood and would also need suitable tools to do the job. The tools can be bought or even rented.
