The right alternative energy source for you may be a solar energy system. Now, what was thought of as something 'new age' or even exclusively for larger business or industrial use is now becoming commonplace in the domestic context. The popularity of producing your own energy is rising because the cost of energy is getting more and more expensive. If you pan around any expanse of housing you will detect that more and more properties are having solar panels fitted to their roofs.
Don't know what a solar panel is? It is a device that exchanges light photons from the sun and changes them into energy to use in the home. It is a clean and environmentally favourable way to produce energy. Renewable energy is the added profit of solar. Owing to its nature, there are no harmful environmental by-products from the process and another plus is that there are no moving parts to the equipment, so once it's installed you can enjoy maintenance-free, free energy. The sun keeps on producing energy, it is not going anywhere. This contrasts to fossil fuels, which are becoming costly to find and produce with a high carbon footprint polluting the atmosphere.
25-30% of monthly home bills is given to the electricity bill. Hence, any possibility of reducing this is positive. You can have solar energy installed to provide hot water or electricity or both. It is a elastic energy source.
To have a solar energy system installed professionally can cost quite a lot of money, notwithstanding, you could go on a course and see how to do it yourself either building the panels from scratch or installing ones bought from a supplier, whichever way you take it is far cheaper than a professionally installed system. The savings you will make on your electricity and heating bills will, over a period of time, pay for any expenditure on equipment and installation. Contact your Energy Efficiency Officer at your local council. They proffer advice on grants available to you. Bear in mind that costs of installation are reliant on a few factors, for example, size of home and what type of solar energy is needed.
Benefits of installing a solar energy system are many, and they encompass: perhaps reducing your energy bills by 70%; selling any overabundance back to the National Grid (contact your energy provider to see how to do this) and helping to save the environment due to reduced emissions.
