Residential Solar Panel Kits

 A great place to begin is with residential solar panel kits. They come prepacked, with instructions, and a wiring diagram. In our experience (and we have put together quite a few of these), if you are new to this technology then starting out with solar panel kits is a great place to begin.

This definitely takes the guess work out of trying to figure out how to size the system to your needs. You can simply go by the output or even start with your budget. This is a cost effective and very popular solution to the problem of 'what do we get for our first system?'

There is different sizing options from a weekend cabin off grid system, to a grid tie complete home system. The choice is up to you. If you need some help we are always more than happy to help with residential solar panel kits for first time buyers. First, let's deal with exactly what each kit contains.

The best place to start is to remember that this is a kit, then you can't go wrong. It's sort of like a diy project that comes with instructions. The nice part is that the instructions are usually top notch, with resource phone numbers for each component and from the company tech staff, so you always have an expert just a phone call away. You can even call them before you start, to ask advice. In our experience, these kits are the best way to go for the novice installer, or the homeowner who wants to get their feet wet. What is included?

• solar panels
• inverter
• wiring
• batteries for off grid systems
• instructions for residential solar panel kits
• monitoring equipment
• and, power optimizers in most cases

The components are matched together to provide optimum performance under any conditions. 

All of your questions about sizing and matching components is all done for you by experts in this field, who are trained in safety as well. You want your kit to work right the first time, this makes that possible right from the start.

All you have to remember is that this system is sized for a very specific job, and not to expect more from it than it can deliver. If you purchase one that is designed to provide lights for a weekend cabin, and you want to run every appliance in your home then you will be disappointed. It is better to realize what you are looking for first and size your system accordingly. Each one is designed for you and the explanations and descriptions are pretty easy to understand.

Each component is top quality as well, and undergoes extreme testing. Some manufacturers put together kits with low quality panels, or possibly low quality inverters. We are always on the lookout for these types, usually high volume and low prices trying to unload crap on an unsuspecting public.

That's why we feel it's so important to test each component under real world conditions before letting a novice be turned off by bad instructions or poor quality. This may be your very first, residential solar panel kits, so we want you to enjoy it for a long time.
