Converting a regular home into a solar home you needs to determine that what are the electrical demands of the house and deciding how much will be met by proposed solar power system and then draw a plan for a solar power system to meet the needs. For making a solar home requires a little research and some math.

Silicon is electrically neutral and on that the extra protons in the phosphorus balance out electrons, the missing protons in the boron balance out the missing electrons holes. That neutrality is disrupted when the holes and electrons mix at the junction between N-type and P-type silicon. This electric field works as a diode, which allow electrons to flow from the P side to the N side, but not to other way around. Its function is just like a hill that electrons can easily go down the hill (to the N side), but cant climbs it (to the P side).A PV cell absorb sunlight at most 25% but usually that’s 15% or less.
