How would you like to reduce your dependency on fossil fuels? How would you like to decrease your reliance on the power companies and cut the size of your bill each month? If you answered yes to both of these questions switching to solar power will greatly benefit you. PV systems make advantage of the suns rays and convert them into usable source of energy. The sun offers a renewable, and barring any unforeseen events, a timeless source of energy. Solar power is both financially and environmentally friendly. By using solar power one can save money, and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that are released through the burning of fossil fuel and natural gas for power. 

 

When considering electrical bills, switching to solar power has become the oblivious answer for many people and their households. Electrical bills make up a large portion of the household budget, and during the winter months they account for half of the power bills spent in a home. A solar power system is the one way to reduce or even eliminate your electrical bills.

 

Having your home run on solar power is easy to do, and many resources make installation an easy to do it yourself process. First consider a budget for your solar power spending; this can be based off of how much of your home you will power to solar energy, or the amount of kilowatt-hours your home uses. Once you purchase the basic parts: solar panels, inverter, battery, wires, etc, installation is easy. 

 

The solar panels which will be ground or roof mounted will provide the DC current which will be taken by the inverter and transformed into AC current which will be used to power your home. One key advantage of solar power that has attracted many is its longevity. Besides the sun providing a constant source of energy, solar panels are extremely durable. Solar panels can function for many decades before showing signs of failures, so if you are on a tight budget you can purchase used solar panels worry free. Solar power is an obvious answer to reducing dependency on fossil fuels and thus power companies. The process is inexpensive, and easy for a person to do themselves.
