More About The DIY Solar Home Kit
Solar electric systems convert sunlight into electricity. These solar systems operate silently with no moving parts and create no emissions. Solar technology is very proven, tested and reliable. The basic technology has been in use for over 50 years in places like roadside emergency call boxes, space stations, satellites even powering hand held calculators.
Sales Tax, shipping, permitting fees, tools, certain components, installation not included. See below for more details. We have lists below for what is included and what is not included.
We will need to gather some important details from you to help determine the best size for your project, such as 12 consecutive months of utility bills.
