Solar Panels

A solar panel (aka photovoltaic module or photovoltaic solar panel) is a packaged, connected assembly of solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells. These panels are used to generate electricity and are an ideal power source for a variety of commercial, and residential \ solar home applications.

The cost of solar panels has decreased dramatically over the last decade. In 1998 the aveage $ / watt cost of solar panels was about $4.50. Today you can find a number of panels in our solar panels section for under $2.00 / watt, and even less at wholesale pricing. We offer a variety of panels from all the major solar panel manufacturers including Schott Solar, Canadian Solar, Sharp Solar and Kyocera Solar.

Solar Inverter

A solar inverter or PV inverter is a critical component in a solar energy system. It performs the conversion of the variable DC output of the Photovoltaic (PV) modules into a utility frequency AC current that can be fed into the commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical network. An inverter allows your normal AC household appliances to use the DC electrcicity generated by your system. We carry a large selection of grid tie and off grid inverters. See our selection of inverters including Outback and SMA.

Micro inverters simplify installation and make it easier to add panels to your system by converting DC to AC power at each panel instead of the entire system. See our enphase micro inverters here: enphase inverters.

Solar Battery

If you plan on using solar as your only source of power (off grid system) then you will need to store that power for use when the sun is not out. For your solar power system you will need deep cycle batteries. These are designed with thicker plates for constant deep discharging and recharging. This is different than a car battery which is designed to provide a high burst of power for a short time. Check out our solar batteries from manufacturers such as Deka and Surrette.

Solar Panel Kits

We make it easy for you to start using solar engery. We offer both off grid and grid tie kits. Our kits include all the main system components including: solar panels, solar inverter, and electrical components. All you need to do is figure out how much electricity you want to generate using our solar calculator or call one of our knowledgable sales staff. Kits are an affordable and simple way to start generating solar power for you home or business. View our off grid kits or grid tie kits.

Affordable-solar.com helps reduce the cost of solar energy for residential homes and commercial solar projects. With low maintenance and quiet, clean operation the solar panels, batteries, and inverters are a cost effective solution for alternative energy.
