There are a few awesome websites out there for solar. Here's what I recommend. Even if you aren't ready to go solar yet, take note of the electrical requirements of each major home appliance. If you write these down and have them handy for reference, it makes sizing your solar system a breeze. Look at the serial number plate for your air conditioner, furnace, water heater, stove, oven, dishwasher, toaster, microwave, kettle, hair dryer, etc. It will tell you you what it needs maximum and minimum power consumption.
