When it comes to finally converting your home to solar power and installing your new residential solar power kit on your roof or mounting it on your home’s wall, there are two ways of going about it. Firstly, you could get a professional team of workers to come to your home and install the whole system, or secondly, you could do it yourself.
There is a world of difference between the two options, particularly when it comes to your pocket. The expert installers will add considerably to the cost, with their man hours raising the price tag to anything from USD10,000 to USD50,000, depending on the size and output of the particular kit that you buy.
Prefabricated residential solar power kits contain all that is necessary to get electricity flowing. The number of photovoltaic solar panels included can vary but three is generally the amount you get. Brackets or mounts are also included for each panel. All the other essential components such as wiring for the panels, an inverter to convert direct current into the alternate current used by your appliances, control panel and rechargeable battery are also included in these kits.
Having prefabricated kits installed by professionals is an advisable option if you are not the handiest of handymen around the home. But if you love building things and have an uncanny knack when it comes to technology, then you can also purchase residential solar kits that you can assemble on your own.
These kits can cost as little as USD200 and provide the step-by-step instructions needed to complete the job. Interestingly, most of the components needed are already around your own home, and these are pointed out to you.
The downside is the considerable time that you will have to put into its construction and installation. It could take a number of days to complete, though it will pay for itself in a shorter period of time than those installed by the qualified workmen.
For most of us, the task of building our own would be too much to ask, with the intricacies of the assembly making us nervous of doing something wrong. In that case, leave it to the professionals since the solar system will pay for itself soon enough anyway.
It is worth noting that a residential solar power kit can supply only enough power to make a contribution to your household requirements. It will not be enough to provide all of the electricity that you need, but in time you could add more panels to make the output sufficient.
However, it will help to reduce your energy bills considerably and that, after all, is the point – isn’t it?
