Is Solar Enough To Power My Home?
While it is possible to power your entire home on solar energy alone, this isn’t always the most effective choice.
This is why it’s highly recommended to add a supplementary power source in addition to solar power. For example, during the winter when it’s often more dark and gloomy — you don’t want to be left eating dinner in the dark because there wasn’t enough sun to power your home throughout the night.
However, it is possible to install a big solar power system with a high capacity battery that can store enough energy to provide sufficient power without down-time.
