In an era of growing environmental awareness and the need for sustainable energy solutions, the question of whether it is possible to power an entire home using solar energy has become increasingly relevant. As the demand for renewable energy sources continues to rise, homeowners are exploring various options to reduce their carbon footprint and take control of their energy needs.

Can You Power Your Whole Home With Solar Panels?

Since 2014, solar capacity at K-12 schools has more than quadrupled across the US, according to a new report from clean energy nonprofit Generation180. The “Brighter Future: A Study of Solar on K-12 Schools” report highlights that over 6.2 million students – more than 1 in 9 – now attend schools powered by solar. In 2023 alone, more than 800 schools added solar panels, meaning that at least one school went solar every single day during the 2022-23 school year.

When you run to the store to grab a pack of AAA batteries for the TV remote, you're probably not pausing to consider the price. But when we start talking about home batteries, large batteries that act as a backup power source for your home, cost suddenly becomes important. Home batteries (sometimes referred to as solar batteries) are a significant investment that can reach into the tens of thousands of dollars. And if you decide to add a home battery to your solar panel system, it can get even pricier. Some home batteries can cost just as much as the solar panel system itself.
