solar electricity/heating?
Need answers from those who know how to generate solar electricity, from interior of home, into the electric panel so that electric company buys what is not used,and or how to use solar to charge batteries to store energy for non sun hours for heating our home..Prefer Do It Yourselfers that have had success. Thank you very much
you cannot generate electricity cheaper than you can buy in most cases. They only way a PV system is economical is if the state pays for more than 50% of the cost or the power rate is over $.30 kw-hr or a combination.
If you want the most efficient electric heater, you will need a geothermal electric heat pump. You could not afford solar panels to run a heat pump system as the running amps are HUGE. You would be grid tied and have to have a netting meter. You also could not afford the battery packs required to store the amps intermittently between when the heat pump is off and on.
