The huge spikes in energy we've seen lately are not about to go away any time soon. We are rapidly reaching a critical mass situation when it comes to trying to meet our energy needs.

Residential solar power kits contain various modules that when put together can power everything in your house. The main source of conversion is through what is known as photovoltaic cells otherwise known as photoelectric cells.

These cells are squeezed into solar panels and placed as such so that they can take advantage of as much direct sunlight as possible.

These cells then convert the suns energy into electricity and store that energy in very efficient batteries which can then be converted to either AC or DC power by use of power converters.

With the proper number of panels, you can supply your entire house and never pay an electric bill again. In fact, you can even sell that power back to the power company and make a profit!
