What Kind Of Solar System Should I Buy?
Once you’ve decided to go solar, another decision awaits: determining the type of solar system that best suits your needs. With countless options on the market, knowing what to choose can feel overwhelming. Plug It In Solar is here to help.
There are many practical considerations in selecting a residential solar system. These include:
How much energy does your household use? (Keep in mind the average household consumes about 11,000 kilowatt-hours of energy a year).
Do you need your solar system to supply all of your electricity needs— or simply some?
What energy specifications are you looking for? (The industry standard is about 250 watts of electricity per solar panel).
How much acreage will your solar panels occupy? (The average solar panel takes up about 16.5 sq. ft. of real estate on your roof).
What kind of roof do you have? Does it have shading, for an example, from trees?
You will also want to account for the amount of sunlight your panels will receive, along with any budget constraints. While the average household will likely need about 30 solar panels to achieve energy independence, smaller solar installations also make a big difference.
With this in mind, let’s review some of the most popular solar system options that we offer at Plug It In Solar.
