We've been considering solar panels for a while now, and we'd like to know a little more about them. Please answer to the best of your knowledge. Thanks.
It is definitely worth doing your homework to evaluate how much you electricity you want to obtain, what you location will allow, and the availability of state and federal tax credits. I suggest reading about it in a book or e-book. Check out the referenced source on solar calculator for cost and size detailed information, it's fun and informative.
I think that solar photo-voltaics have improved tremendously in the last few years but are being promoted due to the simplicity of installation. Most of the residential energy needs is in heating water, residential heating and air-conditioning, all of which can be provided for with less expensive solar thermal panels. Once the base line energy needs of the household has been met with solar thermal, a much smaller photo-voltaic system can be installed for lighting and to run the pumps in the solar thermal system and the fans in the absorption air-conditioning unit powered by solar thermal. Since solar thermal is less than /0 the price of solar photo-voltaic, this should dramatically decrease the capital needed. Also remember that lower price solar photo-voltaic systems are on their way, development is going very quickly, the commercial units you buy today will probably be any where's from $4 a watt to $0 a watt but $ a watt systems have already been developed, just not widely available yet. You may also want to consider using solar shingles instead of solar panels for your photo-voltaic system.
It's possible that home solar and wind power could have a greater effect on reducing pollution than any other single strategy. What's more, maintenance costs are low and the electricity produced is virtually free. Over 80% reductions in electricity bills are claimed. So that leaves the installation cost. It is possible to pay $,000s, if not $0,000s on home energy systems but is it necessary? There are now a high number of home energy installation programs available on the internet as well as guides to cheaply sourcing the products and materials required. Have a look at the website below to find out more. There are articles dealing with the environmental and financial advantages as well as an introduction to an excellent program.
Solar Panels are a very good choice for our economy today. We can save thousands of dollars a year of electric bills. But they are not practical to buy because these cost thousands of dollars. For the brand new solar panels and installation, it cost more than $20,000 which is not good. They also offer buy now pay later option but it is not good either because it puts you in debt. The solution is, why not do it yourself. There are do-it-yourself guides that shows you step-by-step on how to make solar panels. They are very cheap too. All-in-all, it'll cost you less than $200. But be careful, you might find a DIY solar panel guide are not advisable to someone who don't have experience on them. There is one DIY solar panel guide that I can recommend. It is cheap and it doesnt require you to be a handyman to do it. Check out the site below. If you want to know more about solar panels, check some reviews about it. I included some sites as well.
I have had my system for almost a year and love it. I got a 3.74 kwh/dc system, my highest electric bill was $35 in the dead of winter and last month was $6.. I paid $6K for the system and was told I would break even in my 6th year, that was factoring in a 5% annual rate increase. In my area the last few rate increased have been well over 5% and they are talking up to 2% next year. Just keep in mind the amount of energy you use will determine how large of a system will work best for you. My system is tied to the grid, so I don't need a storage system. My utility has net metering, so I sell them my excess during the day and buy back what I need at night.
