Ungajabulela ukusebenzisa i-solariphampu yomthomboukuhlobisa indawo yakho yokuhlala futhi uyiguqule ibe yindawo enokuthula yemvelo.Iphampu yemithombo yelanga iguqula ukukhanya kwelanga kube amandla, ngaphandle kokuhlupheka nokungajabuli kwemigqa.Akukho msindo, ukukhishwa kwegesi eyingozi, noma izidingo zenethiwekhi.Beka umthombo wakho welanga engadini yakho, egcekeni, ngisho nasendlini yakho.Abakwazi ukusethwa noma kuphi kuphela, kodwa cishe abanakho ukulungiswa.
Amaphampu omthombo welangaziza ngamasayizi ahlukahlukene futhi kufanele zihlangabezane nanoma yisiphi isabelomali.Umthombo welanga onikwa amandla amaseli elanga ubizwa nge-photovoltaic cell (photovoltaic cell).Lawa maseli aguqula ukukhanya kwelanga kube amandla kagesi.Ngokungafani namabhethri, amangqamuzana elanga agcina amandla futhi anikeze umthombo wamandla oqhubekayo, oklanyelwe ukusebenza ekukhanyeni kwelanga okugcwele.
Iphampu yemithombo yelanga iqeda isidingo sezintambo zangaphandle, ezidinga amakhodi okushintsha okungangeni manzi kwangaphandle, amathangi okugcina angaphandle, nezintambo zangaphandle okufanele zilandelwe.Amaseli abekwe elangeni eliqondile ngaphezu kwepompo, futhi iphampu yomthombo icwiliswa emanzini.Amanye amamodeli afika neswishi ye-ON/OFF, kuyilapho amanye asebenza uma echayeke elangeni.
Ngakho-ke, kuyadingeka ukuqonda ngokucophelela ukukhethwa nokusetshenziswa kwamaphampu omthombo welanga ngaphambi kokwenza ukhetho, ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi imithombo egcekeni ingasetshenziswa kahle futhi ifinyelele ukusebenza okuhle.Lapho ukhetha ipompo yomthombo, kuyadingeka futhi ukucabangela ubukhulu kanye nemodeli yomthombo ukuqedela ukukhethwa.
