I was just thinking how one should pursue converting one’s
home to solar, so I decided to share with our user the approach I prefer. Below are my suggested steps to converting
your home to solar. I have already discussed one of these steps, energy
conservation. I plan to discuss remaining steps in detail in coming days.
Generally speaking almost 10% - 30%
homes here in Pakistan already have UPS installed. In case you already own UPS
you need to reduce your consumption by investing in energy efficient appliances
before pursuing solar solution. In case you don’t invest in energy conservation
then you will not be able to use full potential of solar energy.
You
also need to reevaluate first 3 steps every year as new advances are taking place
in energy conserving appliances.
