Home Solar Panel Kits

Our customers just love these home solar panel kits. They are easy to install, quick to figure out, adaptable to any situation and definitely learner friendly. They come with excellent instructions that lend them well to being a great weekend project for family and friends.

Simply set up a weekend and invite your friends and get the job done. No need to hire an experienced installer in most cases except for when you hook the system to the grid. You should never do the final installation procedures of  home solar panel kits yourself.

What we normally recommend is getting your electrical and building inspector involved early. Have them look over your proposed installation and make recommendations.

Of course they are most likely going to want to do the job all themselves, because they make more money, but that is not, in most cases necessary. Here is what you do.

First, once your kit arrives make sure to inspect it as it comes off the truck to make sure all of the components are there and that the quality is top notch. Look for damaged packaging (this rarely happens actually). Once you are sure that everything is there its time to inspect the instructions.

• all components are listed in the home solar panel kits
• solar panels should be counted
• instructions laid out and read a couple times
• go out and make an outside building plan
• consult with your inspector

Now that you have got your instructions out make sure to read them thoroughly. Then let your kids read them and your spouse. Discuss the process together and make a working plan for installation. It's amazing how often home owners overlook simple things like the location of the panels or the inverter room, something that every member of the family may notice but the installer.

So, have a little discussion you will be glad you did in the end.

Next, get on the phone and invite your friends over to help. Most people are pretty excited about building something new, so explain exactly what you want to accomplish.

If possible, have your inspector or electrician there for a few minutes on build day, just to get your friends accustomed to what they will be doing.

Saftey is always a consideration. One solar panel which might produce 200 watts of DC power can provide quite a shock if you point it at the sun and cross the positive and negative wires on your fingers. (Yes, we have done it, ouch). And once you have perhaps 20 panels all hooked up in an array you can bet they can provide quite a shock, so all you need to do is cover each one with a blanket to protect it and and yourselves until the system is set for final set up.

What we like best about these kits is that they are completely adaptable to any situation. They can be mounted anywhere. They can be put in nearly any situation and set to either grid tie or off grid applications. With the invention of in line inverters these kits are quite modular as well.

Now, you can get the kits where every solar panel has its own inverter and produces AC adaptable power than you can use for a plug and play system for your home.

Get a the smallest system and simply add to it as your budget allows. This is a simple way for you to get started and keep reducing your electric bills. Just add on the Enphase Inverters equipped panels at a later time.

Just remember to plan for expansion when you first begin.

That makes home solar panel kits the perfect start up and add on system for you, just ask us if you need any help designing your own.
