Going Solar for Beginners?

Question

Hi Everyone!

I am looking to pick up a new summer hobby and have a question.

I have some space in my backyard and was thinking of installing some solar panels. This would be a prototype/test/learning thing at first and I would want to start cheap. With the rising cost of energy, solar might be something for me to look at.

So, can somebody help me get started or help me decide that it's not worth doing.

I am so ignorant of this area that I don't even know what to ask to get started. I am a grad student, so money is always an issue.

Thanks so much!!!!
