Home Solar Basics

There are certain things which are required when building your very own solar power system.

The first being the solar panels. There are hundreds of different solar panel manufacturers each producing different quality solar panels with different densities and different levels of efficiency.

You also need a battery. It is not essential but it is really worth having one. The size of you battery depends on the amount of power that you wan to be able to store. Car batteries are no good as they just don't last. You need a deep cycle battery which is capable of being discharged and recharges thousands of times.

A charge controller is also important. This clever device is there to stop the battery from overcharging.

You will also need an inverter. This small box connects directly to the solar panels and converts the DC input that solar panels produce into AC output which everything in your house runs on.

Once you've got all this you just need wires. You plug it in and connect it up andthat is basically it. Have a look at thehome solar power systems diagrm below to see how these systems really look.
