We recently updated the Resources page. The SolarByTheWatt.com (Solar by the Watt) Resources page focuses on the most valuable information resources in the solar industry as opposed to the Renewable Energy Directory page which aims to be a more complete and extensive selection of a large list of Internet links to web sites of association, government agencies, commercial companies, news sites etc.

Are you thinking of installing solar power for homes? If so then here’s an inventory of all the parts you’ll need so as you can get a sense of the scale and general cost of the job.

Begin by establishing exactly how much of your home’s total energy usage you want to be run on solar power. Do you want solar power merely to heat the water and the water-heating system? Do you want to go completely off-grid and power the whole house by solar power? Either way, you’ll need to know how much energy your home is consuming per month on average.

No matter what you are planning on doing, there is probably a solar system available to help you generate power. On increasingly popular choice is RV solar panels, which can help you run these large vehicles off the power of the sun. If you are interested in helping to save money as well as help the environment, you should research your options for what kind of RV solar panels are available.
