1. Understanding when you would like to have solar power!

This is a very important step, as it sets the ground work for your basic needs, it involves looking at the times that you are home, during the day.

Would you like your home power to run all the time during the day whether the mains power is on or not? Do you mind electrical outages during the day or not?

Must the electrical power be on all night?

How many people live in the house? What hours are they home?

How many lights are on during the day

How many lights are on at night, and for how many hours?

An evaluation of your kitchen and laundry tools is essential. They often make up the appliances used the most, during the day and during meal times.

By looking at each item, and marking which you use, and when you use it , will help you to understand your current power usage. This in turn will , help your local solar agent understand how to size the solar panel , inverters, and solar battery banks best, in order to serve your needs!

4. Switching on that remote!

The sun is powerful. It's heat can be used in many ways, some of the most common uses being solar power panels, and solar power system geysers which use the sun to heat up your water.

These geysers are extremely economical, and reduce your power consumption enormously !

They are also commonly fitted out with an electrically heating element, inside them, so that on cold or overcast days, you will still have hot water.

Does your tv remote get switched on every day?

In this step you'll need to find out just how many tv's you have in the house, along with any gaming devices, and other digital devices, that you use for entertainment purposes!

I just wanted to congratulate you.

You have achieved more indepth analysis about your home than most people do in 10 years of home ownership! If you are struggling with information overload, please go to the end of this article and download the free worksheet that I have created, that will help you to capture all this information, through an easy checklist.

Lets continue, by looking at you Office hours needs.

How much time do you spend working from home, over the weekends, and into the week nights? Just how often does your computer run?

Do you have a printer, an inkjet or laser?

What other equipment do you run for your office? Or in your home setup?

Do you use a heater in the cold winter?

How about an air conditioner, in the sweltering hot summer days?

These machines use up a lot of power, so it's ideal that you know how many you have, and how often they run.

A study done, by the department of energy, in the United States, calculated that 6% of all electricity produced, was consumed by air conditioners ! Their study shows that it is possible to reduce this consumption by between 20 to 50 percent, through a few simple steps.

The link above, will show you their infographic on how to achieve this.

But For now, make sure you record all the units you have in your home, and when you run them.

Do you have a heated pool or a swimming pool with a pool pump?

Yes, these also need to be consider, when moving to solar!

In our experience, many home owners can save on their energy bill, by simply reducing the hours that their swimming pool pumps run, by installing a timer system.

Another interesting way to reduce your energy bill is by installing a small sized pool pump. Many home owners are left with a legacy system, that was far too big, for the size of their swimming pool. You may want to consult an engineer about this option, as pool sales people , are more than likely looking for a bigger sale, instead of helping you reduce your energy bill !

Don't forget to look for any other outdoor appliances, such as irrigation controllers, or outdoor lights, that you need to add to your list, as well !

7.Cooling off in your pool and garden

One of the many advantages of moving onto a Solar Power System for Home, is that any alarm systems, or CCTV cameras, that you have will stay on, all the time.

So rather than getting shutdown, when there are power outages, or load shedding, you get to have 24 7 security, giving you maximum protection for your family, and your belongings!

8.Security and Solar!

9.How does your green transport fit in

Have you been considering purchasing an electric car in the near future?

Is that something on your dream list?

The question is, how are you going to charge it?

Quite simply, if you go solar then you need to factor in , charging it, from your solar panels that are powering your home.
