I'm looking to see how much it would be to install solar panels on a home. Or more information on where i would be able to locate a place of purchase, or in general more information...
If you hope to get a solar panel that can run appliances and air conditioning.. then you are not even close to being realistic about what solar panels can do. If you really want to install a solar panel array on your home, then you need to talk to a company in your area that designes and installes them because every installation is different.. so you won't get an answer here on Yahoo. You can expect to spend $20,000 to $30,000 that will provide enough solar power for the average home.
A Solar panel usually cost between $0,000-20,000 and more. If you're not wanting to spend that much, I suggest you try the DIY solar panel guides. These are step-by-step guides in building solar panels. They are very cheap and overall, you can get solar panels for less than $200. The guide will help you choose where to buy and what to buy so you won't spend thousands of dollars. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, you can do it. If you're interested, just click on the link below. I also added some links where you can read reviews about these guides. Goodluck!
Many companies are regional, so it is hard to give a specific company name. The best thing to do is look in the phone book for solar contractors. You can buy any size system you want it to offset all or a portion of your bill, there may be rebates and you will be able to receive 30% tax credit if you do it this year. Make sure to get an estimate on how soon you will break even. You will also be able to get a more accurate quote if you know at least year usage history. You should be able to get that info from your electricity provider.
On my website you can read my story of how my dad made solar panels at home and now he pays nothing to the electric company.
Let your fingers do the work and look up a solar company in your phone book. If and when you find one consider a thermosiphon solar hot water heater. The cost is dependent on the number of people using it.
