How many solar panels will it take to power a 1000 sq ft home in austin tx?


Question:
im building a home and am interested in solar energy, since sun light isnt a problem in texas. any ideas out there?

Answer:
first orient the roof so it faces south...second use shingle composite roofing solar panel don't go over tile roofs.3rd contact all of the solar panel installation companies in the yellow pages or on the Internet...get written estimates and guarantees...also check with the local power company there are federal tax credits available and even possibly state or local ones as well...some require that you file paperwork before starting work...Talked with a neighbor that recovered 1/2 the cost of his system the very first year...but lamented putting in a smaller system than he should have...he gets paid for power generated that he doesn't use.

..he says the most important thing is keeping the panels clean they generate much better when they are clean...
