Solar Power For Home use has a few negatives you might want to consider.
Grid tied or not? A grid tied system eliminates the toxic lead acid deep cycle batteries used by an independent solar power system. But additional upfront costs are required for the certification and approval by your utility company.
A stand alone or independent solar power system also has the inherent ability of not producing enough power to meet all of your needs. You could wire part of your home to be powered solely from solar power but then technical expertise would be needed.
Don't forget cost. Some of the systems, depending on your needs require 30-40K for an installation. Now consider how much the rebate is. If you figure your 20years worth of energy use (and your utility bill) would this really be offset by a home solar power system? If not then you might want to find a way to reduce your total average by installing a solar power system to augment the cost of your utility bill. In California, dropping your usage below the baseline may save you astronomical prices on energy usage.

Solar Panel: How it works

Renewable energy sources like solar are becoming increasingly popular as fossil fuels become more expensive to find and mine. This cost is passed on to consumers and in some cases, it is now more sensible to install solar panels, rather than using the electricity from the grid. In regions like California, it is logical not only in terms of cost, but it is the ideal climate for solar energy creation. This article covers the solar panel and the how and why most houses will have one on the roof in the near future.

A solar panel is composed of a number of solar cells. Solar cells are usually made of silicon dioxide. When sunlight strikes these cells, it causes a reaction that moves an electron from silicon dioxide. The displacement of an electron moving from one cell to another cell causes a direct current (DC) of electricity to pass through the solar panel.

Direct current is generally used for radios and other equipment battery. It is not useful in most homes because they use alternating current (AC). This is partly a legacy form the grid. AC is easier to transport than DC....
