Assuming that the sun shines for 8 hours of the day, it
would take about 13, 100 Watt solar panels to produce that much energy.
Building the solar panels yourself is the least expensive solution. According
to Science Daily, a 100 Watt hybrid solar
inverter panel cost $1150 on average
in 2008. You can build that same panel yourself for around $150.
In this step there may be other considerations. For a
grid-intertied solution, where you also have power from the grid, building 13 solar power inverter panels and having
them wired to power your home directly is a suitable solution. When the sun
shines you'll be running your home off solar energy alone, and when it doesn't,
any additional electricity needs are taken care of by the power grid.
Where things get more complicated is when you want to go
off-grid, or when you want to add a battery backup to your system. In this case
you should consult with a DIY solar power guide. These guides include the
information needed to make these additional calculations.
