Unokonwabela ukusebenzisa i-solarimpompo yomthomboukuhombisa indawo yakho yokuhlala kwaye uyiguqule ibe yindawo enoxolo yokusingqongileyo.Umpompo womthombo welanga uguqula ukukhanya kwelanga kube amandla, ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka kunye nokungathandeki kwemigca.Akukho ngxolo, ukukhutshwa kwerhasi eyingozi, okanye iimfuno zenethiwekhi.Beka umthombo wakho welanga kwigadi yakho, eyadini, kunye nakwindlu yakho.Azinakusekwa naphi na, kodwa ziphantse zibe simahla.
Iimpompo zemithombo yelangaziza ngobukhulu obahlukeneyo kwaye kufuneka zihlangabezane naluphi na uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali.Umthombo welanga onikwe amandla ziiseli zelanga ubizwa ngokuba yi-photovoltaic cell (photovoltaic cell).Ezi seli ziguqula ukukhanya kwelanga kube ngamandla ombane.Ngokungafaniyo neebhetri, iiseli zelanga zigcina amandla kwaye zinika umthombo wamandla oqhubekayo, owenzelwe ukusebenza ekukhanyeni kwelanga.
Umpompo womthombo welanga uphelisa imfuno yocingo lwangaphandle, olufuna iikhowudi zokutshintsha kwamanzi ngaphandle, iitanki zokugcina ngaphandle, kunye neengcingo zangaphandle ezimele zilandelwe.Iiseli zibekwe kwilanga elithe ngqo ngaphezulu kwempompo, kwaye impompo yomthombo ifakwe emanzini.Ezinye iimodeli ziza ne-ON/OFF switch, ngelixa ezinye zisebenza ngokulula xa zibekwe elangeni.
Ngoko ke, kuyimfuneko ukuqonda ngokucokisekileyo ukukhethwa kunye nokusetyenziswa kweempompo zomthombo welanga ngaphambi kokwenza ukhetho, ukwenzela ukuba kuqinisekiswe ukuba imithombo ekwintendelezo ingasetyenziswa kakuhle kwaye ifezekise ukusebenza kakuhle.Xa ukhetha impompo yomthombo, kuyafuneka kwakhona ukuqwalasela ubungakanani kunye nemodeli yomthombo ukugqiba ukhetho.
