I notice a lot of people asking the same questions over and over again…
“Can I just plug my solar panel or wind turbine into my house to offset my electricity bill?”
The answer is NO. Plugging your solar panels into your home isn’t as easy as most people think. It definitely isn’t as easy as plugging it straight into your house wiring. Maybe straight to your appliance but definitely not into your house.
Because electricity that comes from solar panels are DC and appliances are also direct current, it can be hooked straight up with no problem. However, your house is powered by the power company and it runs in AC. So you would need an inverter and synchronizer to effectively sync your solar power to your house electricity.
You also need a certified qualified electrician to do the wiring and everything.
