The world is facing a critical situation with the supply of energy. As demand for oil outstrips supply and all other sources of energy become more expensive, now is a great time to think about green energy like solar and wind. As a free “endless” energy source, with a few other new energy sources that might appear, these are the most innovative risk-free renewable energy sources out there.
As you may think, the government should invest in those energies to get us out of oil dependency, but we all know how long this will take, so waiting for them to do it is not a smart choice. Instead, you can take your own step towards renewable energy, before anyone else. Having a solar panel and/or a windmill installed in your own home. Helping save the planet and lower your energy bills.
Until now, the common option to have solar and wind energy in your home was to hire a professional service to do it. This is an option, of course, but for the $3000 it can cost, other options should be considered. The one we are talking about is, by far, the cheapest: install it yourself. This can be priced at around $300 dollars.
Wow, that’s cheap! You may think, but what about the cons? Well, there may be some obstacles, since installing it on your own is a process that you cannot achieve with proper advice and knowledge; in fact, this is what the professional service will charge you the most. Fortunately, some products have appeared lately that provide sensible information and step-by-step guides for building a solar panel system and windmill at home. These guides include all the information to get the materials and use them correctly.
Not just panels, the application of solar energy includes solar cookers, solar heating systems, solar lighting systems, and solar dryers as well. All of them are innovative solutions that harness unlimited (and free) solar energy by wisely converting it into electricity, heat or power.
Windmills are one of the oldest technologies around here, but the mechanism for generating electricity from wind power is relatively new. Wind power can help generate tons of megawatts of electricity. When used on individual farms, it can help eliminate conventional energy sources.
So this is the situation. You can keep wasting money on old energy sources that can lead to Global Warming, or you can start thinking of a good and simple plan: reduce energy consumption, and give green renewables a try, either with professional assessment or by yourself, at home.
