Solar Home System

Solar energy is energy directly from the Sun. This energy drives the climate and weather and supports virtually all life on Earth. Heat and light from the sun, along with solar-based resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass, account for most of the available flow of renewable energy.

Solar energy technologies harness the sun's energy for practical ends. These technologies date from the time of the early Greeks, Native Americans and Chinese, who warmed their buildings by orienting them toward the sun. Modern solar technologies provide heating, lighting, electricity and even flight.

Solar power is used synonymously with solar energy or more specifically to refer to the conversion of sunlight into electricity. This can be done either through the photovoltaic effect or by heating a transfer fluid to produce steam to run a generator.

Solar photovoltaics provided 0.04% of the world's energy usage in 2004.

Solar Electricity generation

Electricity can be generated from the sun in several ways. Photovoltaics (PV) has been mainly developed for small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to the PV power plant. For large-scale generation, concentrating solar thermal power plants have been more common but new multi-megawatt PV plants have been built recently. Other solar electrical generation technologies are still at the experimental stage.

Here is a video from YouTube about a couple in Ontario, Canada who live completely off the grid using wind and solar power and a battery storage system.  They also recycle their water supply and drive a car that gets 70 miles to the gallon.  A great piece and worth a watch!  Good information about "Solar Home System".

Whether with solar panels, small wind turbines, biomass or hydro-electricity generators, it can be easier than you think to power your home yourself.  Even selling electricity back to the utility who has been selling it to you for all these years.  Solar Home System.com is dedicated to answering your questions and showing you how to buy what you need to make it a reality!

Grid-Tie Solar Systems (GTS)

A valuable feature of grid-tie or grid-connected photovoltaic systems is the ability to connect with the existing power grid and sell excessive electricity back to the utility with a plan known as Net Metering. At times when you are not using all of the electricity produced by your system, your meter will spin backwards selling the electricity back to the grid at retail rate. These systems do not include a battery. Power is obtained from the utility grid when the system is not producing electricity.
bullet

Grid-Tie Systems with Battery Backup (GTB)

Grid-Tie Solar Electric Systems with Battery Backup have all the features of the Grid-Tie Systems with the addition of a Battery. The battery can store power for use when the system is not producing electricity such as during the night or during blackouts.  That means you never have to buy electricity from the utility unless your batteries are depleted.
bullet

Off-grid PV Systems (OGPV)

Also known as independent or stand alone power, these systems are typically used to power remote homes and cabins. In most cases, if the power lines are more than 1/3 of a mile away, a stand alone renewable energy system can be cost-effective. Solar electric modules charge a  bank of batteries, an off-grid inverter converts the DC battery current to standard 120/ 240
volt AC power and the home can be wired normally.
These systems can easily accept other battery charging sources such as wind turbines, hydro  electric turbines and AC generators. When 2 or more charging sources are used, it's known as  a hybrid power system. Our most popular off-grid option is a solar and wind electric hybrid  system. This combination works together to even out the seasonal variations of either power source alone.
