How to Start Home Solar Installation Kit with Less Than $100
The objective is to start a home solar installation kit with less than $100, and there are certain strategies and options that have to be considered in order for one to achieve this. The details of how this can be done follow herein.
Choose the low-cost PV modules: Evidence has shown that the new low-cost photovoltaic cell development indicates a very significant PV cell cost reduction while using inexpensive material in place of expensive silicon. Furthermore, from the evidence, it was argued that the new technologies make PV cells cheap and viable providers of convertible energy. In this regard therefore, finding these new low-cost PV modules is cardinal.
Simplification of the installation process: It is shown that there is a real possibility to radically reduce the non-hardware “soft costs” for homes by making the installation of PV systems more easy. Specifically, it is mentioned that adhesive attachment of lightweight [non-glazed, non-framed] PV modules to steeply pitched tile roofs eliminates roof penetrations and structural reviews. This is indicative that cost reduction can be achieved when the selection of components and systems allows for ease of installation.
Secondhand or refurbished equipment: Although direct evidence is scant, given such cost limitations, the purchase of used or refurbished PV modules and related equipment could be the pragmatic way forward. This includes perusing through reputable suppliers and ensuring that the equipment would still meet required safety and performance standards.
DIY solar kits: Evidence presented showed a do-it-yourself solar kit available at the nearest store and which one could set up his or herself with few simple tools without seeking professional help. The latter approach, besides saving money, also enhances knowledge and control of the system.
Minimising the need for batteries and inverters: Evidence has proved that the idea of giving priority to battery storage size reduction when designing a PV solar system can reduce investment costs. This means, in essence, designing systems in such a manner that the need for expensive batteries and inverters is minimal.
Government subsidies and incentives: This point is perhaps not derived directly from evidence in many countries and states; subsidies and tax credits are available all over the place for installing systems using renewable energy. The more you know about this, the better it would improve your initial investment by further lowering it.
It also deals with planning in the selection of cheaper photovoltaic modules, reducing the complications in installation, used or second hand equipment, do-it-yourself solar kits, using minimum number of batteries and inverters, availing the government subsidies and incentives available for the same, etc. The above key strategies will have to be taken en bloc to achieve the goals of solar power with a lot of economy and efficiency.
