Solar Energy...It's A Bright Future

It is important to understand, that solar energy is not an energy conservation system, it is an electricity producer. Living off-the-grid, disconnected from the conventional systems in our society that produce and deliver electricity is the ultimate frontier of independent living.

With todays solar technology, consumers can actually become independent electricity producer's saving thousands of dollars annually. What could you do with an extra few thousand dollars a year?

A Bright Alternative - Solar

Alternative energy is an important advancement in the effort to save the environment, save electricity, and most important- saving money.

SOLAR ENERGY TECHNOLOGY BREAKTHROUGH!

If your utility bill is out of control, you need to consider ways to tame the beast. There are plenty of do it yourself ways to save on utilities and even make a profit from producing your own electricity. Perhaps the most easily usable and most convenient of the renewable energy sources (which also include wind and water), solar energy has been used since the beginning of time as a heating source.

One of the most common of the uses is to use it as a power source. Since the 1970's, many people have been putting solar collectors on their roofs and using the resulting collected power to run their households. While having enough solar collectors to obtain power that will run an entire house may not be common,it can be done. Most of these types of solar powered homes run their appliances and other needs directly off the solar collectors' power during the day, and use power that was stored from the solar cells in batteries, or net mettering system at night.

Today, we have solar tiles which blend in with your existing roofing materials. They are not the eye sores they use to be. Also today, instead of using a battery storage system, you can use a net mettering system.

Another of the common uses is to use solar power to heat your hot water. These systems can either use passive solar energy(in the case of heating a tank of water by leaving it out in the sun) or by using solar collectors with a heat transfer fluid. These systems require the homeowner to install solar panels, behind which run tubes filled with fluid. These tubes collect the heat from the sun and transfer it into the fluid, these tubes, filled with the heated fluid, then run around a water storage system, and the heat from the fluid is transferred into the water. Another way is to have water running through the tubing and have it obtain the sun's heat directly - this heated water is then pumped into swimming pools, so that pool owners don't need to run a pool heater to keep their water warm.

In the last 10 to 15 years, solar manufacturers have started to develop new, creative applications for solar power. One development is the portable solar panel,a popular product used on RVs by vacationers. On a smaller scale, there are solar panel packs that fold out like a small ledger and are used to power up anything from laptops to cell phones. On demand water heaters is another development and becoming very popular.

Every single day, enough free sun energy falls on the earth to supply our energy needs for four to five years at our present rate of consumption. Best of all, with this energy source, there are no hidden costs.
It doesn't matter which of the solar energy uses you choose to implement in your own home or life, even a small use of solar power over traditional power sources can help the environment, help ease the load on over taxed grid systems during extream weather, and most importantly- help lower your utility bill.
The more we can use alternative energy, the less dependent we become on non-renewable resources, and the less dependent we are to the greedy power companies, no fear of rolling black-outs, or power outages.

Is this the end of the internal combustion engine? Will we finally be able to drive past gas stations with a friendly wave and a honking horn? Will we be disconnecting from the power grid or even selling power back to the electric company? We're about to find out.

SO...are we actually involved in alternative technologies and able to answer questions, aid in system design, power your home, heat your water, fuel your cars, grown your food, etc.......
