Here is a guide that can help you make a solar generator for your home on your own. For this you need a solar panel rated at 12V, a 4 amp charge controller, a 32 amp-hour sealed battery and a DC to AC power inverter. Also, get a voltage meter to check the generator's load.

First of all, you have to wire the solar panel properly with the solar charge controller and the battery system. Connect the battery leads to the charge controller's terminal blocks. Now, connect the inverter to the battery and mount the solar panel. You should mount the panel in such a way that it gets the most sunlight during the entire day.

You can use this residential solar generator to power, a fan, your laptop or even a small TV.
