Making Your Home Solar

In the last few years more and more people decide to become energy independent in order to save a lot of money and also fight the global warming. The best way to do it is by using renewable energy sources like the wind or the sun (going solar). Going solar requires a small investment at the beginning, but this investment pays out big time in various ways from tax credits and incentives to actual reduction in the electricity bills. It also boosts the value of your home as many surveys show that solar ready homes are selling faster with higher market value.

Throughout the last ears, the technology that allows us to use the power of the sun, improved dramatically, allowing many home owners and not just industrial companies to build small scale solar system for home. Since the cost had dropped and the production of energy from solar panels is much more efficient the impact on the electric bill is huge and it is summed in hundreds of dollars per year. There are people that actually not paying for their electricity and even getting paid from the local utility company for the excessive power they produce.

So if you count the good sides: paying less for electricity, getting government incentives for building home solar system, raising the market value of your home, someone might ask why it is not being implemented widely. Well the fact is the hundreds of people do it on a weekly basis and join the revolution.
All the rest are simply afraid, with no reason that it might be too complicated, too costly or will not bring the benefits it promise.

One of the nice examples is the use of solar attic fans. Since hot air tends to go up, installing a solar attic fan that will clear the hot air from the house will help a lot in reducing the temperature at home and will save on air conditioning costs. Installing the solar attic fan is very easy and cheap and this is only one small example of use of solar power

Another common use is solar heater for water. This is a system that collects the heat of the sun and by running the water in pipes through the heated solar panels heat the water. This hot water can be used for showers or for your swimming pool. That way you don’t have to turn on your electric water heater and by that saving a lot of money on electricity as water heating is one of the biggest contributors to home energy consumption. This alone can save you 10-15% of your monthly electricity bill

The most common use of solar power is to power your home from lighting to use of appliances. Installing a solar panel that converts the sun rays to electricity is known as PV technology. The solar panels and home solar systems come in many variations, sizes and prices and depends a lot on what you want to achieve in your effort of home energy saving.

Using other methods of saving energy at home in conjunction with home solar system of PV panels, can bring a lot of value to your pocket and lifestyle, not to mention your direct contribution to reduce the carbon footprint.
