Now that the economy is shaky to say the least, and energy prizes are more unpredictable than ever, wouldn't it be great if you had some way to drastically reduce your electricity bill?
There are a couple of ways you could achieve this, but in my opinion the best way to go is DIY solar power. Sunlight is free, it's clean, and it can save you a lot of money!
One of the big benefits of solar power systems is their diversity. You can apply Solar power in many different ways in and around your house, or even your company if you like. Some you may have heard of, while others you probably never considered. Let me point out a few possible ways you could apply the use of DIY Solar Power, instead of using fossil fuel or non-renewable electricity which are both polluting and costly.
- Hot water / warming system for the floor of your home.
- A big energy saver: Washing your car (or your motorcycle) with solar powered warm water.
- Heating cabin/second home.
- More advanced usage like passive solar air heating, this works brilliant as well.
- For a safe atmosphere around your house or company: Apply solar power to light your driveway, garden, path, or home.
- Power all possible electric appliances in and around your home.
- Need hot water for your Company Activities? Water heating for industrial and/or commercial purposes.
- With the use of solar power you can heat water to heat your home with.
- Heating an indoor or outdoor pool.
- Street/parking lot lighting.
- Power for the construction site (tools, computers, communications equipment).
- Warming the water in your hot tub, or maybe even your spa.
- Use a portable solar power device to charge your portable electronics.
- Of course warming up shower water uses a lot of energy. If you do it the "solar way" you can cheaply heat shower water for hotels or apartments.
- Security/motion sensor lighting.
I think this clearly shows that with the use of a solar power system, you can easily do your part to keep our planet green, and save yourself a good deal of money at the same time. If you would want to do this, how is the best way?
One way to approach this, is to buy a solar power system retail, or second hand. The problem is that they are quite expensive, the cheapest ones being around $3000. If you can't (or don't want to) spend that amount you could look into building building a solar power system yourself!
If you would like to get one, but you don't have a clue where to start, there are a few manuals out there that explain how you can build a solar power system. I think the one at DIYSolarPower.Net is one of the best, since it's very detailed and therefore basically "idiot-proof".
They also have loads of information on other cheap DIY electricity subjects, that help to keep the environment clean as well. For instance wind power, building your own batteries to store the electricity you produce, and much more. - 15266
