Westinghouse Solar Introduces Low-Cost, DIY Home Solar Power Kits

The price of solar is perpetually dropping. It's a beautiful thing. Because of this Westinghouse has developed a simple low-cost solar photovoltaic kit for your home. They come in various sizes from a small one-panel experimental kit to a 20-panel kit that can satisfy about 70% of the homeowners electricity. I hope to see solar panels on every home in the United States. But remember to make sure that your home is as energy efficient as possible before you supplement your power with solar PV or thermal.

  3. Solar systems produces energy by the sun light. Which is free and huge quantity available to us. This free energy going to waste daily as we can't have the solar systems in common homes and industries. We should encourage it more so that the dependency on the petrol and diesel could be reduced. And the Global warming could be reduced.

  6. I was browsing through some builder websites in the past few months and from what I gathered, solar panels are still not efficient enought to truly be able to live a sustainable eco life. I'm glad that Westinghouse is still on the road to developing low costs kits for home use, but I'm looking forward to some amazing upgrades in the coming years before I commit to solar energy for my home.

  7. Solar energy industry is continuously increasing but the demand remains the same. This only means that home owners are still not convinced on the reliability of the system. The price of the solar panels might have also affected their decisions. However, this panels are a good investment. I think, it would be a better idea for new home owners to add this equipment as part of their investment property.

Anyway, in installing solar panels, experienced electricians like the electrician Garden City. Electricians in Garden City provide excellent services when it comes to resolving electrical problems.
