Powering up your Home with Solar!
Ever wondered what household appliances you can run with Solar Power?
Read below to find out just how the power of the sun can save you on your electricity bills!
Solar power can run a wide range of electrical appliances and devices in your house, depending on the size of your solar installation and the amount of sunlight available. Solar power systems typically consist of solar panels that generate electricity from sunlight, an inverter that converts the generated DC (direct current) electricity into AC (alternating current) electricity usable in your home, and a battery storage system if you have one to store excess energy for use during non-sunny periods. Here are some examples of what solar power can run in your house:
Lights: Solar power can easily power your indoor and outdoor lighting, including LED bulbs, fluorescent lights, and other energy-efficient lighting fixtures.
Electronics: Solar power can run smaller electronics such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and chargers.
Refrigerators and Freezers: Solar power can run your refrigerator and freezer, which are essential appliances in most households. They may require more energy, especially during hot weather.
Fans and Air Conditioning: Solar power can power ceiling fans, table fans, and even energy-efficient air conditioning units, though the latter might require a larger solar system.
Televisions and Entertainment Systems: Solar power can be used to run televisions, gaming consoles, sound systems, and other entertainment devices.
Home Office Equipment: Solar power can run computers, printers, scanners, and other office equipment you might have in your home office.
Kitchen Appliances: Solar power can power small kitchen appliances like blenders, toasters, microwaves, and coffee makers.
Washing Machines and Dryers: Solar power can run washing machines, although dryers typically require a lot of power, so running them solely on solar power might be more challenging.
Heating Systems: Solar power can provide energy for electric heating systems, such as space heaters, radiant floor heating, and electric water heaters.
Electric Vehicles: If you have an electric vehicle (EV), solar power can be used to charge it. However, EV charging typically requires a higher amount of electricity, so you might need a larger solar installation.
