Answer 1

You either can buy the solar kits which are DIY type of self contained units which you need some technical and handyman lattitude to set up. These are considered small but need to be put on a structure with care and know how.

If I was as serious as you sound - I would start small by buying a small outdoor light one that usually has a spotlight and a 1 or 2 foot square panel that you put up on a pole or a tree or a high spot on your house.  They have a wire that you can run to that spotlight. It will turn on when it gets dark and usually you have little control over it- as in no fancy switches or wiring.

The reason I suggest this is that it will get you started and will help you to understand how solar works. Check out these types of units at your local garden center/hardware store.

Try also look at the various ones they sell on ebay.

These will give you a good idea of how diverse the many kits that are out there. Try two searches "Solar panel kit" and try "solar panel" .  You definitely want to do a "solar power" book that gives you a good overview. (Make sure you change the catagory to "books" otherwise you will bring up too many other solar items in your search result.) Its a little complicated and it can get costly and technical. Having read a good recently printed book would give you a good overview of what is involved and help you make your decisions.

In some places you can actually hook up multi panel kits up to the electric companies power grid and get credit on the solar power you sell to them (for when you're not home). You also can get considerable tax credits in some states and you also can get rebates from your electric company. I would suggest consulting a solar installer and even your town clerk in your town hall who might be able to steer you to people in government who would know what type of compensations you can get. Someone in your town (like a building inspector)  may be able to recommend a company that has good reputation for installing high wattage solar panels for residential and businesses.

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you mean by "1bhk" - is that bedroom, hallway, kitchen?

Also, we would need your location and monthly energy usage (both electricity and gas, if you use gas for heat).  Is that 300-800 in dollars?  If so, that's a LOT of energy, and most likely, the house has not implemented conservation measures such as insulation and low-energy appliances.  This will save you a lot more than putting up a solar system.

I am not against solar - we have a system, ourselves.  I'm just trying to look out for your best interests.
