Want a solar panel system. Set up an entire system when you build our new house totally off grid. Solar energy will only be part of the mix, plan on using a water turbine or other seperate generator. What type of appliances CAN'T you use when you're on alternative power.... the answer is very few as in most are adaptable.
Solar panel systems cost very little to implement if the knowledge is there. Another alternative to a solar panel system is designing your house for passive solar heat. If you do want a solar panel system to augment your utility bill then I recommend you take into consideration how much kw/hr you currently use. How much roofing space you have and the orientation of your roof. Also look at the cost of deep cycle batteries, inverter and contractor fees to install your solar panel system.

Solar Panel Systems How Do I Estimate My Solar Power System Needs and Size?
The first step in determining your solar power needs is, knowing what your typical average energy usage is. If your total energy usage is, on average, around 6000 kilowatts per year, you will have to determine how much of that will be generated by your solar panel array.
An alternative is to compromise: modify your lifestyle and energy consumption while allowing the solar panel to generate the majority of your reduced energy needs.
The cost per kilowatt for a professionally installed panel will be slightly higher. The total cost of your system would be $30,000, or $42,000 installed. A slightly smaller system can generate a portion of your energy usage, however, you will still be paying an energy bill in this case.
