 In this economy every single penny needs to be watched and accounted for. That is one of the biggest reasons people start looking at home solar panel systems in the first place. If you could eliminate your monthly electric bill or even significantly reduce it what is the most you would be willing to pay.

First off you need to factor in the pros and cons of installing a solar electric system for you house. You need to determine how much power your home requires, what size of system it will take to fully power you home and how much the system is going to cost up front and how long it will take to recoup your investment.

The question “is a solar system right for my home” has to be asked. Think about it, if you invest twenty thousand dollars and only save a hundred a month. It is going to take two hundred months or over sixteen years to pay for you solar panels.

Realistically even the best solar panels are eventually going to have to be replaced. The typical life of a solar panel is between ten and fifteen years. So if it takes sixteen years to pay for you panels you are going to have to replace them before they are even paid for. That just does not make sense.

Then there is the fact that just because you pay more for a name brand system does not guarantee that it is going to be any better than a discount system. The saying you get what you pay for is always true, but do you really need the most expensive system to provide you home with its electrical needs?

No matter who makes the solar system it is going to comprise of the same basic components. The solar panels will be made of silicon solar cells that collect the sun rays and convert the radiation into direct current electricity. Then there will be a power inverter that will convert the direct current electricity into alternating current electricity that your power needs require. Finally there will be batteries to store the collected energy to be used throughout the day and when the sun is not up.

When considering the best option for you needs start by looking at the name brand companies, look at the discount companies and then look at the option of building the solar panels yourself. All three are viable options and building them yourself could be the best bang for the buck in the long run. You will be able to build them for a fraction of the cost and make them specifically to your requirements.

No matter the system you choose whether it be the discount solar panels or the high end system keep in mind you long term needs. Is your family just starting out? Will you power needs increase in the coming years or are your kids starting to move out and your requirements decreasing? Something to consider when looking at building you own system is that you can expand the system or even contract the system depending on your needs.

Building your own home solar panel systems is easier than ever with the right manual you can discover how easy it really is to save money, so click here and discover information and renewable energy concepts that anyone can implement.
