Everyone is interested in cutting energy costs these days. A DIY home solar energy system is the perfect way to accomplish this objective. By supplementing the power you receive from your electric company, with free electricity you create yourself, you can make a huge dent in your utility bill each month.

In addition to saving money, home solar energy also saves our environment. The fossil fuels we have all been relying on for so long for our power and fuel, are not only diminishing rapidly, they are leaving behind a carbon footprint that has had a devastating impact on your world. We can each do our part to reverse this trend by using alternative energy sources.

As China and India continue to increase their use of fossil fuels the problem has only worsened. It is time for us to turn the tide and lead the world to cleaner, more affordable energy alternatives. Much of the oil we are currently using comes from the Mideast. It is time to free ourselves from our dependence on this unreliable and unstable source.

A DIY home solar energy system is an alternative energy source that is a viable option for the majority of homeowners. Anyone can build a solar panel using plans available on the internet. Search under solar panel plans and you will quickly find eBooks that you can download, videos that will take you through the process step by step, and more.

Constructing your own home solar energy system is relatively inexpensive, especially when compared to commercially built and installed solar panels. You can build your own photovoltaic solar cells and string them together into a solar panel that is every bit as good as a commercially constructed one for a fraction of the cost.

A DIY solar panel will only cost you in the neighborhood of $200. By contrast, manufactured solar energy systems for a home can cost more than $20,000. You may think that it couldn’t possibly be something you could do yourself, but it is, as no special building skills are needed and no special parts are required. Your local home improvement store carries everything you need.

You can begin your foray into DIY home solar energy slowly by building a single panel which will generate enough electricity to run many of your household appliances. When you begin to become proficient at building the panels you can build more and add them to what you have already created which will of course enhance your ability to generate electricity free of charge.

It is possible, and not even difficult to accomplish, to generate enough electricity with home solar panels to eliminate your utility bill entirely. It is even possible to create an excess of power that you can then sell back to your power company for a profit. Free energy, can you imagine that? You should, it’s completely doable.

Global Wind Energy Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2012 Report ( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/Global-Wind-Energy-Market-Analysis-and-Forecasts-to-20121.html ) provides a detailed analysis of current global wind energy installations as well as the forecasts of worldwide wind energy installed capacity until 2020. The report details historical and current statistics relating to wind energy installed capacities and their growth scenarios until the year 2020. It also provides an analysis of the historical and forecast growth of installed capacity, and the market structure and regulatory policies that govern the world’s key wind power countries. The report further includes information relating to the important cost, technological, market, and research and development (R&D) trends on a global basis. It also analyzes the wind power deals that have taken place over the years and gives detailed profiles of the top five market players for each of the sub-sectors in the global wind energy industry.
 

The report facilitates market analysis and forecasting of future wind energy industry trends. It helps identifying growth segments and opportunities in the energy industry. The news and deals portfolio provided in the report helps an investor to gauge the global wind energy market and accordingly direct their investment.
 

Of the available renewable energy sources, wind is the most established commercial generating technology with highly effective and reliable equipment and machinery. It has observed tremendous growth, with the total installed capacity augmenting from 23,900 MW in 2001 to over 121,013 MW in 2008, reflecting an annual growth rate of 26% for the 2001-08 period.
 

Annual Wind Energy Installations to be Impacted by the Financial Crisis

The current financial crisis is severely affecting the growth of wind energy globally. The global wind energy industry is witnessing many cancellations of turbine orders, freezing up and sale of wind farms, and difficulties in securing financial aid for new projects. The worldwide annual wind energy installations will trickle down by more than 15% in the years 2009 and 2010, as against the growth rate of 35% in the new installed capacity of 2008. This will further result in a dip in the demand for wind turbines.
 

Increasing Mergers and Acquisitions to be the Outcome of Financial Crisis

Wind farms are capital-heavy projects with significant up-front investment that can be financed only by large utilities and investment groups. The critical short-term challenge faced by most wind power developers is financing, particularly for under development projects. The economic downturn, resulting in the failure of some of the world’s largest investment banks, has led to an increase in the cost of capital for wind energy projects. Against this backdrop, only a few large wind power companies will be in a position to pursue their project development plans. Shortage of financial resources with smaller players would give an opportunity to the big giants to takeover or form alliances with such companies, thereby increasing the level of consolidation in the wind energy industry.
 

Strong Growth Prospects of the Offshore Wind Energy Market

The offshore wind energy market is attracting investors in the wind segment. The global offshore cumulative wind energy installed capacity has increased from 86 MW in 2001 to 1,475 MW in 2008. Most of this capacity is predominantly concentrated in the European region. Currently, there are nearly 5 GW of new offshore wind energy projects in the development phases in Europe. The US has also planned to develop over 2,320 MW of offshore wind power projects, while China has 520 MW of offshore capacity under construction or in planning. Increasing focus on the offshore wind energy sector is principally because of the greater power generation potential at such locations. Offshore sites are also suitable for wind power generation because there is no space constraint. Additionally, offshore wind projects offer multi-fold advantages i.e. large wind turbines can be installed at the offshore sites because of the greater wind speed, thereby enabling it to generate more units of power.

We have been using the energy of the wind for thousands of years. There were boats propelled by wind sailing along the Nile River in 5000 B.C. By 200 B.C., there were simple windmills in China pumping water. At the same time Persian were using vertical-axis windmills with woven reed sails to grind grain.

People continued to find new ways of using the wind energy. By the 11th century, people in the Middle East were using windmills extensively for food production;crusaders and returning merchants brought this idea back to Europe. The Dutch adapted the windmill and used it for draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta. When conquerors took this technology to America in the late 19th century, they began using windmills to pump water for farms and ranches, and later, to generate electricity for homes and industry.

However,industrialization, in Europe and later in America led to a gradual decline in the use of windmills. People stated to use steam engines rather than windmills. In the 1930s, the Rural Electrification Administration’s programs brought inexpensive electric power to most rural areas in USA.

Industrialization did not only led to the decline of using windmill but also sparked the development of larger windmills to generate electricity.The earliest wind turbine appeared in Denmark in 1890. In the 1940s the largest wind turbine of the time began operating on a Vermont hilltop known as Grandpa’s Knob. This turbine, rated at 1.25 megawatts in winds of about 30 mph, fed electric power to the local utility network for several months during World War II.

The popularity of using the wind energy has always changed with the price of fuels. When fuel prices fell after World War II, interest in wind turbines waned. But when the price of oil raised in the 1970s, the interest in wind turbine in the world also increased a lot.

After the oil embargoes of 1970s,new ways of converting wind energy into useful power are introduced. Many of these approaches have been demonstrated in “wind farms” or wind power plants groups of turbines that feed electricity into the utility grid in USA and Europe.

Today, the lessons learned from more than a decade of operating wind power plants, have made wind-generated electricity very close in cost to the power from conventional utility generation in some locations. Wind energy is the world’s fastest-growing energy source and will power industry, businesses and homes with clean, renewable electricity for many years to come.

While the financial crisis may have sidelined renewable energy as a viable choice for the average homeowner or small business owner, the same forces that created this downturn may setup a perfect storm for renewables to come surging back and bring employment opportunities with them.

A lack of available financing, restricted household budgets, and plunging business profits put a damper on the change to renewable energy since this recession began in late 2007. Once oil and natural gas came crashing down from their summer 2008 highs, renewables such as solar and micro-wind have suffered from a poor dollar cost comparison with brown energy.
Despite a clear public desire to switch off carbon-based energy, many found renewables difficult to justify in terms of a personal utility choice. System sales stalled and a question mark hung over the industry’s future. Analyst recommendations for solar and wind companies followed their stock prices: down. And many who had seen a future career move into renewables found themselves dealing instead with the realities of a severe economic downturn. While the desire for renewables continued, the means of fulfilling it was weakened.

Today a confluence of factors may be shifting once again in favor of renewables, bringing back a surge of new system sales, investment and importantly, employment. The price of brown energy is cycling up again with crude oil back to $50/barrel, home heating oil at $2/gal and natural gas seems to have formed a bottom at $4/MBtu’s. On the investment front, significant commentary by economists and stock analysts about the lack of investment in new oil and gas production capacity is pointing at supply shortages on the 5 years horizon. In the near term, China’s internal stimulus packages are widely recognized to be effective in restoring economic growth at the same time that the American economy is seeing glimmers of positive news. Blocks and blocks of foreclosed, abandoned and scavenger-gutted housing stock in cities across America present a chance for restoring them with renewable energy technologies. And perhaps most telling, the new administration has made renewable energy a centerpiece of its agenda and declared it off limits in budget negotiations with congress. This welcome stabilizing of the recession points to increased energy consumption as the world economy re-inflates, with increased prices and employment following on its heels.

So how to ride this new wave of opportunities in renewable energy? The same as you ride any wave: with a surfboard and some skill, remembering to add in a touch of bravery.  In the case of changing careers into renewable energy, the “surfboard” is basic knowledge about the science and technology of solar, wind and geothermal, how such systems work, the skills used in assessing a residential or commercial site, the financing and  ROI calculations, and system design and installation details. This set of knowledge and skills is the foundation for understanding and working with renewable energy.  Complementing this knowledge,  an understanding of the industry and how it is structured and the wider trends at work in and on it enables one to make informed choices.  Rather than riding the same wave as everyone else, a broader education brings a broader view and the ability to plan well for the future. As with any career move – one made by choice or by having the choice forced upon us – a touch of bravery overcomes the inertia that so often prevents us taking the first step.

To get the career equivalent of the surfboard, seek out education and training options that will get renewable energy knowledge and skills in your hands sooner rather than later. However, try not to set yourself up to be overwhelmed with the transition by planning multiple classes spread out to give yourself time to absorb and use what you learn. The brown energy infrastructure has taken 150 years to be build up: it won’t change overnight and most people alive today have never dealt with “energy” beyond the electrical outlet in the wall. An increasing number of community colleges, solar and wind equipment manufacturers and training companies are offering classes and workshops in renewable energy. Ranging from hands on training geared for technicians to install solar panels and erect wind turbines to courses in renewable energy sales and marketing, these classes will add renewable energy knowledge and skill to your resume and extend it beyond your previous career. 

With a new, upward trend in energy costs and strong motivation to re-tool America’s buildings off brown energy, $15 billion per year promised by the new administration and signs of economic stability on the horizon, now is the time to pursue the many training providers across the country for knowledge and skills in renewable energy.
Few other recessions in the post World War II era have been as severe as this one. Nor have they had such a perfect storm of conditions built-in to bring about an explosion of new economic growth to end them. Catch the wave. The time to train for the coming change from the brown energy of the past to the renewable energy of a recovered economy is now.

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – Nov. 10, 2009) – Seakinetics Corporation reported today that its Chief Operating Officer, Jack Dhaliwal, will be in India this week to commence the process of acquiring land for the Company’s strategically situated Tamil Nadu wind energy project. The Tamil Nadu site was selected following an extensive program of feasibility studies demonstrated that the Tamil Nadu region of Southern India would provide the most favourable location for construction of Seakinetics’ first large scale wind energy farm in India.

According to Mr Dhaliwal, his two week business trip to India will be complete with meetings arranged with government officials, the State Electricity Board, local government representatives as well as land owner brokers in the Tamil Nadu region. Mr Dhaliwal stated, “These meetings are an absolute prerequisite to finalizing our land acquisition program. Thereafter, the Company will make an initial deposit on the land.”

Seakinetics’ is aggressively pursuing its business objectives in the burgeoning Indian economy which is poised to overtake China by 2010 as the world’s fastest growing economy. To support the consumer demand created by a growing middle class, the Indian government is investing USD$500 billion in infrastructure improvements. These improvements include highways, roads, communications, new electric power production and grid improvements. The parcel of land that Seakinetics is acquiring is located in a major wind energy farm region of India that lies in close proximity to the power grid already established by the State Energy Board. When the initial phase of the Tamil Nadu wind energy project is completed, the wind farm will quickly generate substantial revenues for the Company.

The wind energy sector has an average annual growth rate of 30% and is recognized as the fastest growing source of renewable energy worldwide. While India is the 5th largest producer of wind energy, it still has a 47% deficiency annually. It is widely anticipated that this deficit will grow as the country’s development expands. When completed in Q4 2012, the first phase of Seakinetics’ wind farm in India will produce 30MW of electricity and provide power for over 30,000 city or 90,000 rural households.

Seakinetics (www.seakinetics.org) is in the business of designing, developing, marketing and investing in innovative technologies and services in the renewable energy field. Seakinetics’ mission is to be an industry leader in finding solutions for renewable energy today and tomorrow.
