Terry — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:10:25 +0000

Residential solar energy systems offer a great opportunity for ordinary homeowners to cut their home energy costs and help the planet to avoid yet another disaster like the BP oil spill off the Gulf of Mexico.

Climate change is real, and although we are well aware of it, our initial thought is that there is nothing that can be done on an individual front. Combating against climate change and the rising prices of energy resources is an individual effort. If every individual takes on the pledge to make use of our earth’s renewable resources then there could be a huge noticeable change.

The sun has immense energy that can be harnessed, and what’s even better is that this energy is renewable. The energy resources that we use today are close to extinction and hence globally prices of energy resources are only rising. It is only a wise decision for individuals to switch over to residential solar energy systems.

These residential solar energy systems can even be used to help you go off the grid. There are several Hollywood actors too who have made solar energy their main energy resource and have gone off the grid.

You can do a lot with solar energy resources like, heat water, cook food and even supply electricity for your home. Apart from these there are huge financial benefits as well. Apart from buying the residential solar energy systems and installing it there is practically no other expense incurred.

Benefits Of Residential Solar Energy Systems

Let’s look at some of the benefits of residential solar energy systems-

Huge Cost Savings – The sun is a part of our solar system and the light and energy it gives out has been existent for millions of years. In other words you will never fall short of the energy that the sun gives out everyday. It is possible to use solar energy for thermal and electrical power and this in fact saves on a lot of money, and is very value effective.

Although you will have to initially invest in the solar panels and their installation, you can regard it to be a one time expense. However you will be paid back in a few months time and after that the energy and power you generate is free.

Anti Pollutant – With your very own residential solar energy system you will eventually decrease your carbon emissions. This is because solar panels themselves emit the least amount of carbon dioxide. Apart from decreasing the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere it also helps in warding off a lot of other toxic pollutants that is hovering around in the air.

The other sources of energy are produced by burning oil, coal, fossil fuel etc emit millions of tons of toxic waste into the atmosphere annually. On the other hand if you run your home solar energy then you are sure that it will not emit any harmful pollutants in the atmosphere.

Using the sun and harnessing it to its complete potential and capability is an excellent way to make use of energy supply that is environmentally friendly.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Wind Energy

Terry — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 18:58:14 +0000

The advantages and disadvantages of wind energy are explored below but firstly you may be interested in some background information and why residential wind energy may present you with a realistic opportunity to reduce your energy bills. And be kinder to the environment.

Wind energy has been increasingly used in European countries and is now increasingly being used in the United States as well. Harnessing the energy from the wind to produce electric and thermal energy is a great way of making use of our earth’s natural resources.

Although using wind energy has a lot of advantages and is cost saving, there are also a lot of disadvantages associated with it. We are aware of its advantages, however if you are planning on harnessing the wind for energy, then you should also know of its drawbacks, this will allow you to make the right decision in choosing the right renewable resource.

Here is a list of advantages and disadvantages of wind energy.

Advantages of Wind Energy –

Wind energy makes use of kinetic energy to produce mechanical energy. This form of energy has been in use since years, even the Romans used wind energy to create mechanisms that could grind grain and draw water.
Since it is a renewable source of energy, it will never get depleted.
This source of energy is cheap and free, and with the use of modern equipment you can use it to your best advantage.
You do not require huge land to install a functional wind turbine. Even a small bit of land is sufficient. It can even be installed on high rise buildings so that wind power can be harnessed.
Larger countries can benefit from combining wind energy with solar energy to provide their citizens with a reliable and steady source of electricity.
Wind energy is cheap and the only expense is the buying and installing of the wind turbines. This expense can be retrieved within a few weeks time.
Unlike oil that is available in abundance only in a few countries, wind can be found anywhere. Although wind could blow stronger in a few other areas and countries it is still accessible, and does not incur the cost of transport.
Using wind energy will help reduce your carbon footprint as these turbines do not produce enormous amounts of carbon dioxide as compared to burning of energy sources and fossil fuel.
With the backing of wind energy and wind turbines you do not have to rely on being part of the electricity grid. This is one of the reasons why remote and hilly areas still lack electricity.

Disadvantages of Wind Energy –

The main disadvantage of wind energy is that wind itself is not constant. The force of wind varies from zero to storm, which translates to inconsistent amount of electricity produced. Don’t be surprised if there is no electricity produced at times.
Setting up wind turbines in the countryside has not received a good response; this is because people feel that the natural beauty of the countryside should be left alone without any kind of structure spoiling it.
Wind turbines are very noisy and there is no escaping from it. It is almost like a family car that runs at a speed of 70 mph.

Wind Power Generators-Does A Home Wind Generator Make Sense?

Terry — Wed, 12 May 2010 15:27:02 +0000

More and more, we see wind power generators being used to harness the kinetic energy naturally produced by the wind.

In some places, you can see field after field of wind generators. At this time, wind power generators supply less than 1% of the world’s power, but that number will change as more regions and people tap into this natural resource. As a clean, renewable resource, it has exciting potential.

Building your own wind turbine generator is not that difficult and can save your vast amounts of money over time on your energy bills. Depending on the size you build, a home wind generator can provide anywhere from 700 watts of power up to 2000. Of course, the more powerful generator will cost more to build and be more difficult to construct, as it will need to be quite large. The taller a generator is, the more energy the wind generator blades can capture. Wind speeds are higher at greater altitudes, so a smaller generator that only stands 10 feet off the ground will not produce as much as one standing 100 feet tall.

Another factor that can affect power output is the size of the rotor. You can increase the amount of power you harvest by four times if you double the size of the rotor. Of course, the higher it reaches and the bigger the wind generator blades, the sturdier the structure must be. With an increase in height and rotor size, the price increases too. Whether you are buying a wind power generator or building one, you may be limited by your budget.

Building a home wind generator can be much less expensive than buying one. It is recommended to start with a smaller generator to get a feel for them and learn how they work. Once you have some experience and know what you’re doing, you may decide to tackle building a larger, more powerful one.

You can buy assembly kits to build your generator and you can buy plans to build one. You will have to determine which is more cost effective for you, and what parts are available for purchase in your area. If you look, there are many websites that will guide you through the process step by step. It is best to research your options in depth to determine how to best go about building your own wind power generator.

Alternative Energy Sources | Alternative Sources of Energy

Terry — Wed, 12 May 2010 15:05:38 +0000

As we continue to face issues of shrinking resources and increased pollution, more people are exploring alternative energy sources.

An alternative energy source is one that is naturally renewable, clean, and does not involve the use of fossil fuels. While we are surrounded by energy all the time, finding ways of harnessing that energy to provide us with power is a challenge that many are determined to meet. Forms of alternate energy include wind power, solar power, hydroelectric (including tidal), and geothermal.

Solar power is one of the most popular alternative energy sources. It creates no pollution, it is renewable, and it can be used in a variety of ways. It is possible to use solar power to provide some of the power in your home, but of course this depends on your location. It is easier to harness solar power in an area that receives a lot of sun for much of the year. If you live in a rainy or cooler climate, you will not be able to reap the full benefits of solar power.

Wind power is also growing in popularity. It too is renewable and creates no pollution. More regions are beginning to use wind as an alternative source of energy. It is possible to build your own wind power generator to harness this power for your home. How much you can harness depends on your location, as well as the size of the generator you can build. The larger and taller the wind turbine, the more energy it will produce. Just like the sun, wind can be intermittent, so you will dependent on the weather to capture the energy.

Geothermal energy refers to capturing the natural heat contained within the earth. Using geothermal energy can be a clean resource as long as it done properly. It is not dependent on weather conditions, but is not a good option for individuals looking harness energy for their homes.

Hydroelectric energy is produced by the downward, gravitational movement of water. It does not produce pollution, is renewable, reusable, and to a certain extent, is not dependent on the weather. Times of severe drought can impact the production of hydroelectric energy. The problems with hydroelectric energy are that dams can be very expensive and require vast amount of water to produce energy effectively and consistently. Because of this, it is not a viable alternative energy source for individuals. The motion and power of tides can be harnessed in the same way, by filling reservoirs to produce hydroelectric energy.

Solar Panels For Your Home | DIY Solar Panels

If you are looking for long term ways to save on energy cost and help the environment, you should certainly consider solar panels for your home.

Solar Photovoltaic Panels or a solar PV system could save you hundreds of dollars on your electric bills, adding up to thousands in the long term. Many states offer incentives for home owners to install PV system. The solar panels harness the power of the sun, and convert that power into electricity. In order to perform efficiently, the panels must be properly installed, so be sure to know what you’re doing if you plan to install them yourself.

Solar panels work best in homes that are already fairly energy efficient, so before you install the panels, it is a good idea to make sure your home is well insulated and sealed, and that you are using energy efficient appliances and lighting. Whether you are planning to do the work yourself or hire professionals, be aware that it can be expensive to buy and install solar panels, so it is advisable to add a bit at a time. This will make the DIY solar panels project more manageable, both financially and physically.

DIY Solar Panels

You can buy DIY solar panels kits online and through local home improvement stores. Prices will vary by the solar panel system rating and the manufacturer. Shop around to find the best prices available. Make sure you follow the instructions that come with the kit. You can find a lot of helpful information and tips at the U.S. Department of Energy website if you get lost or need more concise information.

It is possible to make homemade solar panels, and can be done inexpensively if you know what to look for. Ebay is a great source for buying new, slightly damaged, and used solar cells to make cheap solar panels. The cells can be wired together to make a solar panel. Often, the shipping will cost more than the actual panels, and some sellers offer free shipping.

While finding instructions for making the solar panels and actually making them won’t be very difficult, installing them correctly for energy efficiency and connecting them to your power grid might be a little trickier. Make sure you get the best information available and consult with professional to ensure your system meets local codes. If your system does not meet those codes, you will not be allowed to connect to the local utility grid. Ultimately, your solar panel system will have to pass a utility inspection before you fire it up.

Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way we Make Things

Terry — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:42:27 +0000

In the short book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way we Make Things, William McDonough and Michael Braungart present a new perspective with regard to environmental progress and alternative sources of energy.

What they essentially call for in this book’s pages is a twenty-first century industrial revolution that reconsiders the usefulness of such commonly-promoted environmental protection and conservation measures as recycling our paper and plastic.

Instead – and it should be noted that both authors run an industrial design business, the mission of which is to create products friendly to the environment – we should completely overhaul the way we produce products to begin with since the use of natural resources can never be completely mitigated through most methods of which we are already aware.

They formalize their proposals in a sort of treatise entitled “Eco-effectiveness” where it is proposed that we change the way we produce common industrial products so that the natural world is unharmed and costs are kept low.

Unless one purchases an electronic copy, Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way we Make Things
is printed on synthetic paper so that no trees were felled in its making.

Ecosystem damage from the way we produce our everyday products and materials, they argue, can’t be overridden by the collective actions societies have already taken, so they start with the book itself as an example of the sorts of changes that need to be made if we are to achieve a way of life on this planet that is sustainable.

Other ideas for re-designing some common, everyday industrial products include wrappers that can be thrown on the ground to biodegrade amidst signs asking the populace to “Please Litter.”

The ideas contained in this book are far-reaching and suggest a complete revolution of the way products are made – from containers in our pantry to the way buildings are designed.

The authors of Cradle to Cradle also offer examples of companies that, in their collective opinion, are doing “the right thing” when it comes to designing and producing the products that will take humanity forward while being profitable for those by whom they are produced. McDonough and Braungart hope to appeal not only to eco-conscious consumers but also to business owners as a kind of call to action.

Cradle to Cradle is published by North Point Press, is written in English, and is 208 pages long.
