Turning Your Home Into a Green Energy Power Plant
November 4, 2010 by admin
Filed under Going Green
As a population, it seems that we are increasingly aware and concerned with environmental issues. Moreover, it seems like more and more of us and taking steps toward making our lives and our homes more environmentally friendly and energy efficient. There is a reason for this and because of that reason, you should consider turning your home into a green power plant. The average American home uses an average 25 KWh (kilowatt hours) of energy per day. Of that 25 KWh, about 30% is used to heat water alone.
Installing a Solar Energy System. Energy usage can be greatly reduced with the installation of a solar energy system. A one kilowatt system can generate as much as 1600 kilowatt hours of energy per year in a sunny climate. This system which consists of approximately 10-12 solar panels, will prevent about 170 pounds of coal from being burned and 300 pounds of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere. Also, it prevents the consumption of about 105 gallons of water. It is with these reasons in mind, that this kind of renewable energy system is becoming increasingly popular. Due to the modern technology in solar energy, it is now used for many common things. This energy can be used for cooking, powering cars, heating swimming pools and home electricity. A home that is conservative on it’s use of energy can use solar energy as it’s main source of power. Because of the use of battery power back-up, a home is able to rely on the use of this energy 24 hours a day, despite weather conditions. Only about 100 square feet of space is needed for a one kilowatt energy system. Alternate energy sources and solar energy are becoming more and more mainstream making them the predicted source of energy for the future.
Turning your home into a green energy power plant is relatively easy. Just imagine the kind of savings that could be yours when you install a solar energy system. There are many books and online instructions and do it yourself (DIY) kits for self installation of these systems that may result in cost savings.
