Long Term Investment with Solar Energy Cost Using Solar Energy to Power Your Home

A few years ago, solar panels for homes were more a sign of prestige and eco-friendliness than a viable alternative to being hooked up to the power grid for most folks. Most people simply couldn't afford to install the panels, which would have taken more than a lifetime to pay themselves off. At most, they could be used to complement somebody's power needs, and as such they were little more than a novelty item for several years. Now, solar energy costs are low enough that people can actually save money by installing solar panels.

Use the Sun
Solar energy costs don't actually use fuel costs, which would otherwise give you a monthly fee. Most of the cost is up-front, so once you pay for the panels, the energy is yours to use as you want to. This makes it a great option for aspiring home owners, as that will be the most opportune time to pay for solar energy costs, when motivation is highest. While you may not be too pleased to hear that you may need to spend in upwards of twenty thousand dollars because of solar energy prices, you may be more than pleased to learn that if you spend $250 average per month, the system will pay itself off within seven years. If you require greater electrical generation from your solar energy system, it may take itself longer by a few years to start effectively saving you money.

Years ago, the only entities that could afford solar energy for buildings were larger companies. These were seen as novelty items if anything, a sign of eco-friendliness. However, solar energy prices have dropped enough that it's affordable for almost all homeowners to purchase for their homes. Unfortunately, those who rent apartments are left out in the cold with this technology, and it really wouldn't be a viable source of energy if placed upon skyscrapers. However, it is efficient enough to work on individual houses, and residential solar energy costs have been low enough that these power systems have been selling like mad in recent years.

The sun is where all energy on the earth comes from. Solar energy has been used for thousands of years to heat homes and water, but only recently has it been reliably converted to electricity to power your home.

Solar panels take the suns energy and convert solar power into electricity that you can use to run everything in your home. These systems, called renewable energy systems, can harness enough solar energy so that your reliance on the power company is severely limited. The first thing you have to know is how these solar energy systems work.
All solar energy systems have three things in common. The first is that they all use photovoltaic panels as their power source. These correspond to the turbines and fossil fuel generators found in large power plants, just on a much smaller scale. The second is that the all have a power storage unit.
This stores the incoming energy so that you can use it later. The last component of the system is the load. This is how much energy your home draws. You need to understand the capacity and draw or energy gained that all three of these components either add or subtract to the overall system.
There are three types of solar energy systems. The first kind is on grid. These systems are on the local power grid and supplement the power received from there with the solar energy. In the event of a blackout, the energy system in the home will go down because there is no way to balance out the load. Any extra power can be sold back to the electric company.
The next type is off grid. Off grid systems are not connected to the local power company. These systems generally will store the power in batteries or in the system itself. In the event of a blackout, the system is fine. Extra power can be used to heat water or air. The last type is an on grid plus battery. These systems have a battery back up to the electric company or the solar energy. In the event of a blackout the system can still run off the battery. In addition, power can be sold back to the electric company or stored in the battery.

Now you have the basics of how different types of solar energy systems work. Before you even consider installing one in your home however you are going to need to come up with what your average usage for a month is. Before you do that, I would suggest making your home as efficient as possible. Replace all your current bulbs with florescent, get a new fridge, make sure all your windows are double pane, and replace any of your electric appliances with gas if you can. After you do this you will have a good idea of how much power you use and can come up with a solar energy system that will meet your needs.
