Putting in a full solar powered home energy system all at once can be expensive, particularly if you have a large family. It took me a couple of years before realizing I didn’t have to put the entire thing into place at once, and as soon as that thought finally occurred to me I started working towards being more free from my outrageous electric bills.

    Find out from your regional weather service how many days of sun you get per year. There is a break-even point where under a certain amount of sunny days it will not pay for itself. Generally NE US is too cloudy for it to work well–to power a whole house.
