Here are three of many sites you can find if you just do a web search.

After you do a bit of research, you will find that the cost for a solar system will take about 9 or 10 years for you to save enough money to pay for the system. By then it will probably need to be replaced. Not a very economic deal.

    Do an online search for solar panels and you will get plans for sale.
    I saw a good one on the diy web site.
    A contractor will install one for 3 to 5 K, and you can probably build it for $200

    Harbot Freight has a set for about $200.that system does not come w battery .if you wish to use your system @ night or cloudy days you need a backup battery.
    I bout a battery pack for my car whisch it is called Power pack( HF)cost $70. you can run your appliances except AC and microwave/dryer.
    I am using this ysytem in my Guest house.
    totally cool. light /radio / Computer/Evap cooler for about 10 hours.
    find your usage first.so you can expand your system.
    Good luck

    The local codes in most areas in the US won’t allow you to install a homemade solar panel on your house, it needs to be UL listed. Don’t believe all of those bogus sites that promise you can power your house for $200, you can’t. Also, besides the solar panel, you also need an approved inverter to convert the DC power from the solar panels to AC that your appliances need.

    Factory built solar panels are generally guarantied for 20 - 25 years, with a life expectancy of twice that.

    To save money on a solar installation, you may be able to install at least part of it yourself, but the equipment needs to be UL listed or equivalent.

    You can see an example of a very small grid-tied electric system here. You can see that the solar panel is just one component. http://www.altestore.com/store/Kits-and-Package-Deals/Grid-Tied-Systems/Alt-E-Designed-Grid-Tie-Packages/AltE-Grid-Tied-Package-Micro1/p5642/
