For every property, vehicle or electronic device there is a solar kit that can reduce its emissions output. With solar technology now so advanced, there is nothing stopping the world turning to this cleaner alternative. Nothing, apart from money. For most of us, transforming our home or businesses to run on solar power is not financially possible. But the government is taking steps to amend this.

Installing a solar kit in your home today, can entitle you to a 30% tax credit on the cost of installing a solar panel system. California currently has the Helio Green Energy Plan, which is a creative alternative to financing the cost of solar kits. Each homeowner is assessed to determine their energy needs and then Helio will install a solar panel system and no money will change hands. The homeowner will have to pay for the electricity the solar panels uses, but after six years, the homeowner can purchase the Photovoltaic system, for an average of 16,000$. Lucky Californians.

A solar kit can be used to power more than just your home. Powering a RV with solar is becoming more and more popular, with the “off grid” lifestyle offering cheap, green holidays without scraping a carbon footprint across the skies in an aeroplane. A solar kit installed on the roof of an RV can, depending on the size of the panels in relation to the size of the vehicle, can be enough to power all the reasonably sized electrical equipment onboard.

A typical solar kit will consist of these elements:

-Photovoltaic (PV) cell solar panels
Photo meaning “light” and voltaic meaning “electricity”. These PV cells are the membrane of a solar panel. They collect the electrons produced from the suns rays. These electrons produce Direct Current (DC) energy.

-A Charge Controller
This literally takes control of the charge. It is the sergeant of Direct Current. A charge controller will regulate the voltage and prevent power surges of overcharging of your..

-Battery
The battery stores the DC you have captured from the suns rays. And the last piece of the puzzle is the...

-Inverter
The inverter takes Direct Current (DC) and transforms it into Alternating Current (AC) identical to what you are currently receiving from your utility provider.

These four elements are what make a typical solar kit fully functioning and ready to absorb. Fine-tuning and add-ons may be necessary to find the ideal match for your needs and there are many trained professionals out there who can offer expert advice to help you on your way to achieving your solar dream.

Be it for greener recreational activities, powering a business or home or simply powering a pocket flashlight there is a solar kit waiting to meet your needs and give you a reliable, eco-friendly source of power that will last and last.
