The Home Solar Panel What You Need to Know to Choose the Right System
The home solar panel is just part of aMagnifier Engine system that can produce enough power to run your home, Yes you can have your own little power plant fixed on your roof, just think about that. No more or reduced electricity bills. Did you know that you can have a system and still be connected to the grid and any excess power produced by you will automatically be fed back in, you end up being paid for that, doesn't that sound great.
The systems that are available today, that harness solar energy are so advanced, that they are rapidly becoming a great source of alternative energy for your home. But with all the technology needed to collect the energy from the sun and convert it to the right source that will boil your kettle, run the plasma TV or heat up the hot water, the home solar panel is still the most costly part of the kit. Only because to run the entire home you will need a number of these panels.
There are basically two types of solar panels, the PV (Photovoltaic Panel) and the Thermal Collector Panels. The PV panels are panels that collect the heat from the sun and convert it into electricity to boil your kettle. The Thermal Collectors are panels that convert directly into heat for your hot water or your swimming pool or even heat your house.
One option you can think about is to install the Thermal panel to heat your hot water and enough PV panels to run part of the home, just isolate certain rooms and have the power supply from the Solar Energy Panels that you install just supply those rooms or even a particular power outlet in a room.
Any reasonable electrician will be able to isolate these for you, even placing in a switch so you can choose either solar or main grid power. What ever system you choose you will be saving money and that can only be a good thing. Governments are now supporting the Idea of homes producing their own power from the sun, giving Tax Credits and Rebates. Look into this as it will certainly help with recouping your money from the installation.
