  Are you taking your home off the grid?

  If so you will need approximately $30,000 worth of batteries and electrical equipment to store the energy and convert it to household current.

  The most common solar panel is a 3000 watt peak system. Cost of the system installed is about $20,000 to $25,000.

  Typical daily electrical production of that system is 10 to 12 kilowatt hours per day, which is not much electricity.

  Determine your daily electrical use from your past utility bills and that will tell you the size of the system that you need.

  I recommend that you have a licensed electrician install your system to meet building code requirements.

  Total cost of your system will be approximately $60,000 to $100,000 depending on the size system that you need and labor costs in your area.

  First of all, start saving your money. When you get $50,000-100,000, then you might consider contacting a company. In the mean time, you might start to realize that there is no easy way out of the situation we are all in.

  Call your power company first. Ask them about connecting your solar panels to the power grid. That way you can sell them the extra electricity during the day, and still have power at night. In my opinion, you should buy as many solar panels as you can afford and are willing to put on your property.

  Just read this "how to" page. It tells you how to size a solar electric system grid tie or grid tie with battery backup. There is also how to information on an off grid system.
