With the advancement in technology, there has been a steady increase in the use of electricity to fulfill the various needs of the house. However, with increasing threats to the environment, increased use of natural resources as sources for energy has come into trend.
There are a few popular Home Solar Systems that one can go in for:
1. Energy Grid-Tied Home Solar System:
These systems are designed to sell power back to the utility company. The absence of batteries ensures that they will operate only when utility power is available. These systems are sure to offset your utility usage. The correct size system will earn you the energy during the day that you can utilize at night.
2. Solar Home Lighting System:
These are powered by solar calls that convert solar energy into electrical energy. The electricity is stored in batteries and used for home lighting whenever required. The solar home lighting system is extremely beneficial for rural areas and has its use for domestic applications.
3. Stand Alone Solar Home System:
The solar home systems are mostly beneficial when no electricity grid is available. Thus, this requires a battery to ensure the availability of electricity at night or periods of little bright sunlight. Larger systems of this type can even power water pump, refrigerator, electric tools and VCR.
4. Passive Solar Home Systems:
This system is mainly dependent on a Modified Trombe Wall that traps the hot air and uses it for heating the home. The vertical grazing of a trombe wall works similar to the solar greenhouse and occupies very little space. However, the storage capacity and temperature regulation by this system is very limited.
