Solar Kits for Any Size Home

There are three main types of solar energy kits available on the market today. Each one has a specific purpose and different capabilities. The price you’ll pay for a solar kit will vary greatly depending on the size of system you require and the amount of power you want to generate.

 Make sure your kit comes with everything you need including all the wiring.  Some kits may require additional purchases or does not come with customer service. Take the time to find this out first!

Grid Tied Solar Kits – this type of solar energy system is designed to help you reduce or eliminate your power costs. Ideally, if your system is large enough, you’ll be able to store excess energy and sell it back to your power company.  Kilowatts generated from these kits can be at the lower end of 2.3 kilowatts or up to 12.65 kilowatts. Prices range from $2,000 to $50,000 for these kits.

 Off Grid Solar Kits – if you desire to be completely free from the power company or live in a remote area, an off-grid system is the answer. Off grid solar kits are designed to power everything you need, including appliances, lights, heat, and air, with a battery backup system in the case of cloudy days.

You can generate around 300 watts of power with an off-grid kit or even as much as 1800 watts of power with a larger kit! You’ll need to purchase a grounding rod, conduit, and wire separately.

The prices for off grid solar kits have a wide range, beginning somewhere around $800 for a small system to $35,000 and up for larger systems. The larger the system and the more power you want to generate, the more it will cost.

 Solar RV & Marine Kits – ideal for powering your recreational vehicle or boat, these systems are easily installed and very affordable. The kits contain solar panels, an amp charge controller, and battery, mounting hardware and output cables. These kits can produce as little as 10 watts of power or up to 340 watts of power. Prices range from $175 to $1,800.

It’s very possible for a homeowner to purchase a solar power kit and install the solar energy system without too much trouble. The directions included in the kits are very detailed and are geared toward someone who has never installed a system previously. A good customer service department should be able to answer all of your technical questions concerning the installation of your system.

Many people also opt for purchasing their own kit and then having it professionally installed. Some sellers of the solar kits will offer to install it for you for an additional price.
