There is so much talk of green and clean energy these days, most people have at least thought about how they can use solar in their lives. The problem is that with a tough economy and bleak job market, most people feel like they just don't have the money to invest in solar. Well, there is a cheap and easy way to start using solar power that won't break the bank!

Affordable grid tie kits are great for do-it-yourself homeowners

Thanks to rapid advancements in solar inverter technology, you can install a solar grid tie kit onto your home for far less then ever before. It used to cost at least $10,000 to install a small system on a home. But using micro-inverters and 200W panels, homeowners can install a single panel and inverter for about $1000 and start to reap the benefits of free energy from the sun.

Many homeowners have begun slowly adding panels on a regular basis, on Earth Day, or as their budget allows. The new technology allows homeowners or anyone with a building to add on to the system in increments, without spending a fortune all at once. You could start with a 230W system, add a panel every 3 months or as your finances allow, and have a 4000W system that covered your entire power bill in just a few years. It's never too early to start, especially with the price of electricity fluctuating and rising over time.
