Solar Energy: Working Out Your Domestic Capacity

 

If you are planning to install a residential solar energy system in your home, you will need to determine your current energy consumption.  This information can usually be found at your local electric company. Using this as a baseline, you can design your solar energy system to suit the requirements of your house. Your region’s weather will influence energy use, as well as the direction your windows face, the number and location of your trees, and the kinds of appliances used.Your types of light bulbs can even affect energy use.

An additional important factor will be your area’s temperature extremes. Residing in an area with temperature extremes will require more power to heat or cool your home than if you live in a moderate climate. South facing windows in a cold climate can help lower your heating bills. In a hot climate, north-facing windows can reduce cooling costs.

Full-grown trees can provide shade and help decrease cooling costs during the summer, while the denuded tree branches allow sunlight in during the winter months. All of these factors affect your general power consumption. In addition, installing adequate insulation in walls, roofs and floors help lower utility bills in any climate.

If you are able, change all of your appliances to energy efficient models. Newer appliance models often consume up to 50% less energy than older ones, particularly if they need repairs and are not performing at maximum efficiency. Switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs also makes a large difference in decreasing electricity consumption. After you have evaluated your house for these factors, you can plan to build a solar photovoltaic system by multiplying your average daily kilowatt hour consumption by about .25. This should give you a rough estimate of the daily kilowatts your solar panels will need to generate to support your current power needs.
