How well an active home solarenergy system performs depends on effective siting, SolarPower, system design, and installation, and the quality and durability of the components. 


The "photovoltaic cell" collectors and controls components now manufactured, are of high quality. The biggest factor now is finding the informational tools to  properly design and install the "home solar energy" system.
Once a "photovoltaic cell" system is in place, it has to be properly maintained to optimize its performance and avoid breakdowns. Different solarpower systems require different types of maintenance, but you should figure on 8–16 hours of maintenance annually. You should set up a calendar with a list of maintenance tasks that the "home solar energy" component manufacturers recommends.
Most solar water heaters are automatically covered under your homeowner's insurance policy. However, damage from freezing is generally not. Contact your insurance provider to find out what its policy is or refer to our list of sponsors (to the right side of the blog post) and get a "insurance rate comparison" on your current policy including the home solarenergy system. Even if your current provider will cover your home solarenergy system, it is best to inform them in writing that you own a new "photovoltaic cell" system.


WindEnergy is coming up; in our future blogs we will take a look at "Home Wind Power" systems that will provide you with residential windpower and windpower generation using a windpower turbine or windpowered generator using the latest "wind technology"


To get the informational tools you need check out the two providers below. They will give you all the necessary instruction to build and maintain you own Home SolarEnergy System give you the instruction needed to complete a homemade wind turbine for your residential wind power.
