Yes. A properly sized system can supply most or all of the electricity a home uses over a year, especially with a hybrid or off-grid design.

What is required

Enough roof or ground area for panels, a battery to cover nights and outages, and an inverter that can handle your peak loads such as air conditioning and pumps.

Whole-house backup

Backing up every circuit needs more battery and inverter capacity than backing up essentials, so cost rises with the scope.
