Homemade solar power can be very easy to set-up, contrary to common belief and it can save you a lot of money. This DIY solar power system can be assembled using many items around your home and yard and a home improvement store can be visited for the rest.
First it is important to check that your home has a roof that is right for solar panels. With immovable solar panels on the roof you want to make sure they will face a direction where they will benefit from the most amount of sun. Even with a solar power kit, having the wrong angle of your home solar power panels can make your solar power system inefficient. As a general rule, if you live north of the equater you will want to have your solar panels facing south. Avoid shade at all costs or it will cost you in the long run. A solar panel that is even partially in the shade will make your solar panel less than 50% efficient.
It is a good idea to check with your area as to how much sun it gets during the year and what are the least sunny times so you can make your solar kit to compensate for the darker weeks and months of the year.
An element in the DIY solar power project that cannot be overlooked is batteries. Without them you would only have power when the sun was shining, but batteries allow you to have continuous running power during the night and even days of cloudiness. Hooking up your DIY solar power system to your power grid is the only way to avoid using batteries, but this can be a complicated process that I find is best to avoid if you can. Deep cycle batteries are the best kind to get and they will not have to be replaced for many years of proper usage. These types of batteries can ensure long periods of time of usage and also very little lose in power.
There is another item that is absolutely essential in your homemade solar power system and that is a charge controller. A great thing about a charge controller is that it helps your batteries last longer by making sure they don't get too much juice or give out too much juice.
For the last step of your homemade solar power setup you will need a means of converting the DC to AC form of electricity. In order to accomplish this you will need to obtain an inverter. Even though you will not need a great extent of electrical knowledge, it will come in handy when wiring up your solar power system with your inverter. It is important to keep your whole electrical system up to code and make sure you are safe as well in this process. I would highly recommend you get an electrician help you out with this.
Once all of the above has been completed you will have free, clean electricity for more than 20 years, and then some maintenance will probably be required. These 15-20 years will be spent saving a lot of money when you look at that period of time. It's better than having your own generator because even in the midst of a major storm or a big power outage in your community, you will still have all the electricity you need from your homemade solar power kit.
