solar power electricity
Of all the solar power facts you have heard, did you know that it is now cost efficient for every homeowner to produce their own electricity? With your own solar panels you can tap directly into the original source of nearly all the energy used on our planet. A source of energy that, if we could collect all the sunlight falling on the earth in a single day we could take care of the worlds electricity needs for a year.
The sun was the source of power for creating our civilization and continues to be our main power source today.
For example:
Hydroelectric power is produced by the sun. The flowing stream and river waters behind dams are produced by rain that was originally evaporated by the sun.
Wind power is produced by the sun. The sun heats the earth’s surface and the air above it to produce wind.
Fossil fuels are produced by the sun. They are the decayed remnants of ancient plants that over millions of years were transformed into coal, oil and natural gas. These ancient plants used this solar power for photosynthesis to take in carbon dioxide. They stored the carbon and released oxygen as a waste product.
Today, fossil fuels are the number one electric power source on our planet. When we burn them to produce electricity we release the stored carbon into the atmosphere. This carbon is the number one cause of global warming and air and water pollution on the planet.
If you have your own solar panels you can tap directly into the source of clean efficient electricity. The problem is, it typically costs around $20,000 to have solar panels installed in your home. That is an investment that will take a lifetime to recoup, even if you become totally independent of your utility company.
Here is one of the solar power facts that manufactures do not want you to know. You can actually build your own solar panels for around 1% of what it costs to buy them. There are plans out there right now that can get you up and running, producing solar electricity right now. You do not need any special skills or tools to build your own solar panels, just a weekend and a willingness to save money.
If your interested in more solar power facts or your ready to see how you can inexpensively start producing your own electricity for your home newgreenliving.info is the place to go.
