Setting Up Solar Panels At Home

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.

Setting up solar panels at home.

I purchased my batteries new and were only at about 60. 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. While the batteries are charging you can set up the solar panels and get them wired up and ready to go. The cost of setting up a solar home varies depending on the needs of the family and what it s going to be powering.

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. 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. For example if you have a cabin that you can t connect to a power grid and you don t want to rely on a traditional gasoline powered generator you might consider installing a small photovoltaic solar power system. The first thing you want to do is charge your batteries with a charger.

You will also need several deep cell batteries on which power can be stored and drawn upon. A small solar power generator is a relatively cheap sustainable way to generate off the grid power when you need it. 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.
