Use Of Solar Power

When the cost of energy is rising, there are more and more voices calling to move to clean energy sources. This is all over the news and the best advice anyone is hearing is to move to the use of solar power. We want to share with you some ideas and thoughts about solar power system at home.

We all see the cost of energy in the last few years. Although in some cases there is a decrease the general trend is ongoing increase to levels that we never saw before. This is mainly due to supply and demand factors as the regular energy sources are depleting. Since we already know that these energy sources (such as fossil oil or natural gas) are also directly contributing to polluting our planet, there is a major move to use of renewable energy sources such as the sun or the wind

Go solar today and build your home solar system 

Did you know that only small fraction of energy created today comes from the sun power? It is less than 1% worldwide. The sad news is that we don’t utilize it  enough to start reducing the need to produce so much electricity from polluting sources. The good news is that there is growing awareness and many business and home owners adopt the use of solar power to anything in their places from heating, water heating, lighting and full use of electricity at home.

The technology also made a significant progress over the last few years and now you can find very cheap kits to install at your home and save a lot of money on the electricity bill. You can actually make a small home solar power system in less than $200.

Let’s calculate together the return on investment of making your own home solar power by using the sun rays. You can mount a home power solar panel system on a roof of 1000 sq feet and produce electricity worth of more than $7000 per year. However to build such a system will cost you around $20,000. So where is the gain? It actually comes from three different sources:

1. You stop paying to the local utility company for electricity 
2. You sell excess power to your local company
3. You get tax credits, tax incentives and gracious mortgage loans for installing green energy system

You also increase the value of your home significantly!!!

So it might sound that this is a huge investment but most home owners that installed such a system, returned their investment after one year and from that moment on, they earn every cent of using this system.

Another interesting aspect about solar energy is how much solar energy is worth, or to put it in other words - How much money can I save by using solar power?

So despite the fact there is so low amount of use of solar power, the hopes are high. We need to learn how to use it more efficiently, how to incentivize people to use it and when the numbers will be higher we can expect real reduction in our planet pollution and also in how much we spend on energy. We see a bright future for solar power
