In mid 2008, we have seen the effects of rising global crude oil prices on local gasoline costs. Many people had a hard time refueling their vehicle. High oil prices have also affected home owners. One of the biggest expenses in maintaining a house is the electricity bill. Since most utility companies use oil to produce power, it is not surprising when we have to pay a higher electric bill. One solution to reduce our home energy consumption is to use renewable energy with homemade solar cells. This article will provide some information on the science of home solar power.

For the time being, installing a ready made home solar power system is still relatively expensive. The investment cost will take decades to recoup. To make solar power viable, we have to use homemade solar cells. The concept is relatively simple. Solar cells or Photovoltaic can be joined together in series to make a solar array. The function of the solar array is to collect the sun energy and convert it to usable electricity. What you have to do is to connect the solar array to a charge controller. The charge controller will limit the amount of electricity delivered to the batteries. The batteries will be used to stored DC electricity. Since most of our home appliances run on Alternate Current (AC), we will use an inverter to convert the DC to AC.

To power our home electrical equipment with renewable energy such as solar power, everything begins at the homemade solar cells. To make sure the solar power system meets your home daily requirement, it is recommended for you to get a home solar power guide.
