Is Solar Power Electricity strong enough yet to Work on General Home Appliances (as Fridge, TV, stove, etc.)?
I am thinking of someday in the near (or little farther) future using solar power to replace, or reduce my current electrical company usage, so that I can slowly wean myself of the “government grid”.
But I am wondering, how feasible it is to use solar panels, and related items, to generate the amount of electricity necessary to power all the electrical items used daily in a home, like the lights, fridge & freezer, the stove, oven, TV’s, computers, clocks, etc.
Of course, I doubt, at least at first that it will be possible to completely eliminate the need & use of traditional electric services.
But as much as I hate government (and eventually hope to emigrate elsewhere) I want to wean myself off the government controlled system as much as possible, if not totally someday.
Is it possible to run a home entirely on solar power, and still generate enough power to run all the appliances of daily life??
I have an off grid system that will run my home (I use it as a battery backup system). I as well have a grid tie system that back feeds the utility when I produce more power then I use.
You can get a system that will do battery backup and grid tie at the same time. I installed the off grid system a few years before the grid tie or I would have done both in one unit.

You can get complete systems in kit form. If you want to start out small get a small kit and double it next year because they are stackable.
