Develop a System

• Develop a system for the amount of solar energy that you would like to have. Some people use solar energy on their entire homes, while some use it on only a portion of their home. When you know how much of your home you would like to power with solar energy, you can develop an appropriate system.
  
  

Obtain Panels

• Order or build solar energy panels. You can order panels from your electric company or from solar or alternative energy companies that service your area. You can also buy them online at sites such as Siemans.
  You can also build solar panels. Sites such as Build It Solar have step-by-step instructions for solar energy panels.
  
  

Getting Help

• When you have solar panels prepared, you will need help to install them. An electrician must install the panels and to switch your power over to them. This is a procedure that requires an experienced professional.
