You don't have to live off the grid to want to live more economically and take advantage of the solar electric capacities now available for most homes. There are several ways you can go green with your electricity and utilize solar electric power. You can ditch the electric company completely and rely wholly on solar power or you can combine the best of both of these worlds and make your home partially solar and partially reliant on the power company for energy.Solar power is generated by solar cells which take their energy directly from sunlight. This technology was actually invented in 1954 but was not utilized at the time because it wasn't considered economically feasible at the time. It was saved from becoming a forgotten device however when NASA took the project on and developed the technology over the course of the next few decades making it more realistic to use and more cost effective in the final product.Today, depending on where you are located geographically, the cost to utilize solar energy can be nominal. In areas where is plenty of the natural source needed for it to work- namely lots of sunlight, the cost for solar can be cheaper than electrical power.Solar electric power can run your home but how well and how much will depend on a variety of factors including where your home is located, how large your home is, how much electricity you actually need, and how many solar panels you have installed.Solar power requires a great deal of preplanning to work right. Before you even buy your home or land to build on you will need to ensure you are in an area that gets lots of natural sunlight. If your source of energy is blocked by constant cloud cover or has an obstructed view by trees or the mountains for example, your source of energy won't be consistent. If you don't have a consistent source of energy your solar home won't be able to run entirely on solar energy.If this is the case you may need to keep your ties to the electric company and work with a skilled solar power contractor to make your home as reliant on solar power as is feasible even if it is only as a backup source of energy.If you are able to find a home in an area that is solar power friendly, you will need to make sure your solar panels are placed where they have the best advantage for receiving the most sunlight. Think of your solar panels as a plant- the more direct light in this case the better your plant or in this case your solar panels will do.About the Author
