Setting Up Solar Panels At Home

The first thing you want to do is charge your batteries with a charger.

Setting up solar panels at home.

A solar panel on the roof with a few wires leading to a small battery bank powers my laptop and a radio mounted on a tree for receiving the wireless broadband signal. I purchased my batteries new and were only at about 60. However the amount of power generated by a solar energy system at a particular site depends on how much of the sun s energy reaches it and the size of the system itself. But solar energy systems can contain high dc voltages within the networked solar panels and high ac voltages within the inverter there is simply no room for mistakes when working with high voltages especially where high currents are present.

Working with solar energy can be safe as long as the voltages and currents you are working with are well below 50 volts and 1 ma. The cost of setting up a solar home varies depending on the needs of the family and what it s going to be powering. This will insure they are charged to capacity and ready to go at set up. You will also need several deep cell batteries on which power can be stored and drawn upon.

You will need to figure the amount of time certain things will be used as well. The system also provides enough energy to charge several small power tools run our home sound system and amazingly power a full size chest refrigerator year round. A small solar power generator is a relatively cheap sustainable way to generate off the grid power when you need it.
