"Home Solar Energy"


Economics and Other Benefits of Active "Home Solar Energy" Heating Systems

Active solar heating systems are most cost-effective"home solar energy", when they are used for most of the year, that is, in cold climates with good solar resources and good "solar power cells". They are most economical if they are displacing more expensive heating fuels, such as electricity, propane, and oil heat. Some states offer sales tax exemptions, income tax credits or deductions, and property tax exemptions or deductions for "home solar energy" systems.
The cost of an active "home solar energy" heating system will vary. Commercial systems range from $30 to $80 per square foot of collector area, installed. Usually, the larger the system, the less it costs per unit of collector area. Commercially available collectors come with warranties of 10 years or more, and should easily last decades longer. The economics of an active space heating system improve if it also heats domestic water, because an otherwise idle collector can heat water in the summer. 


You are able, through "solar panel design", such as the Power4Home instructional package, to build your own "photovoltaic cell" making your own solar panels. These panels can be portable or fixed allowing you to chose how to use your finished product.
Heating your home with an active "solar power cells" "photovoltaic cell"  energy system can significantly reduce your "energy billing" in the winter. A "home solar energy" heating system will also reduce the amount of air pollution and greenhouse gases, that result from your use of fossil fuels such as oil, propane, and natural gas for heating or that may be used to generate the electricity that you use.
