The initial cost of a solar power system will be greater than that of a generator system. This is often the reason people install a generator rather than choose solar power.

Moreover when your solar power system generates power in excess of your own requirements, you may supply the excess power to the utility grid (and get paid for it). This system obviously will be costlier but has its own advantages.

Solar panel kits are readily available with great self-taught instructions to assemble and implement a solar power project at home.

Instead of just going out and buying one of these, you should first learn as much as you can about each of the suppliers and each of the solar power kits available.

However the biggest issue with solar power is it's reliability. Ideally you need a location that gets plenty of sun throughout the year.
