How to Install a Home Solar Power System

Home solar power system is easy to install. The system comes in different sizes. Before you choose one make sure that the roof of your home is more than 120 square feet in size. The largest system needs a roof of 1000 square feet dimension. Therefore before you decide to install one, measure the size of your roof and find out different systems that can fit on your roof.

Before you go in the market to purchase one, get a permit to install the system. For this you can contact the installer or the dealer from whom you plan to purchase the solar power system.  To work effectively the solar power system needs direct sunlight. So adjust the system so that it receives maximum light.

Don’t be disheartened if you don’t have adequate space on your roof top. Look around your home for some elevated area which receives ample sunlight and which can accommodate the system.


Solar panels form the solar power system. These panels are connected together is a particular fashion and installed so that you can generate the electricity to run the water pump or light your house.
These are available as residential solar kits. The panels are glass plates made up of ethyl vinyl acetate encapsulate and aluminum frame.

The other less expensive version is with thin film deposits which convert the solar energy to electrical energy sufficient to light a small two room home. A hybrid form is also available which is more efficient than the conventional type and the thin film deposit type.

Once the system is installed it starts working. The system transforms the solar energy into direct current more commonly called as DC current. The DC current is further converted into alternating current which runs different electrical appliances in our homes.

The solar power system like us works during the day and rests in night. This is because for this system the main fuel is sunlight which is available during day only. The power generated by the system is also used top charge the batteries so that you get an uninterrupted power supply.

All this was about the home lightening system. You can use the solar power for pool heaters. You can use them to generate light for your garden or outdoors or to run air conditioners, fans or other electrical appliances.

The best part about the solar power system is that it is environment friendly. It does not emit emissions which cause harm to the earth atmosphere. And what’s more? You generate your own electricity for your home. Besides this you reduce the monthly electricity bill.
