Using Renewable Solar Energy to reduce emissions, the depletion of fossil fuels, and save you money at the same time.
Our planet is suffering from the slow depletion of fossil fuels which is giving rise to continually rising energy bills. You see and hear home and business owner complaints while visiting your friends and neighbors and in the news. We as consumers don’t have to continue this madness. There has been an alternative to this for a long time. That is Solar Energy. It’s just that until recently, Solar Energy hasn’t been a viable solution due to the cost of generating that energy. Thanks to technological progress, we as home owners (and business owners) have many more affordable options to choose from.
There are many Solar Power kits available on the market today. Many people have questioned the effectiveness of them though. I can tell you that as a testament to their effectiveness, many households have already installed them. I myself had Solar Panel panels installed to my home in the mid 80s to supplement my forced air heating system. The difference was remarkable, and that was before today’s advances.
With many people commonly away from their homes during the day this free energy can be stored for later use. Solar powered battery chargers are widely available. With the right solar panel system, you can reduce your dependence on your local energy provider. After a small investment for a Solar Kit the energy is FREE!
What if the sun isn’t out or the weather is bad? That’s one of the beautiful things about going Solar. As stated previously, the kits also store energy for use later. On a sunny day, the suns energy is converted into electricity, and whatever isn’t used is stored. This can be used at night or during inclement weather.
Portable chargers won’t supply enough power for all of your energy needs. However, they’re great for electronic devices such as laptops and cell phones, but since the power is easily drained, they’re not very efficient. They’re still nice to have as backups. Through research and science much progress is being made too.
Solar Power kits are affordable, popular, and a single panel usually has a charger for you to plug equipment into. You can even take the chargers with you when you travel placing them on your automobiles dash.
Even though large solar panels are rather expensive, their prices are coming down. The government is offering incentives such as tax credits, and possible grants and loans for Renewable Energy. Check with your local government for available programs and take advantage of them. Many utility companies have programs that will credit your bill if you produce more energy than you consume.
If you’re still apprehensive about Solar Power, why not start out small? You can build your own small scale Solar Power Systemfor as little as $ 200. Then, if you’re satisfied you can always expand on the system to generate more power.
Available Natural Light and Photography
Bad weather doesn’t mean you can’t take excellent outdoor images. Clouds naturally diffuse light eliminating harsh shadows and rain can actually provide a very interesting element to your images. Neither should you keep your picture taking limited to the middle of the day. Learn to use the available natural light during the hours after sunrise and before sunset. These are known as the golden hours.
