Solar House



Home > Learning Center > Solar House Solar House A solar house makes use of one or more solar cells to operate electrical appliances. In suburban or urban areas solar cells are typically placed on the roof. In rural areas the solar cells may be mounted on the ground. A solar house may still draw some of its energy from a nearby electrical grid. The house will need an inverter to convert the energy generated by the cells from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). In a solar house, appliances such as lights, televisions, and computers can operate using solar power. A solar house requires a large initial investment in equipment. Existing homes can be transformed into solar homes by purchasing solar supplies. Often it is easier to build a solar home from the ground up then to transform an existing home into a solar home.
