Go Green In Your Home Improvement Plans: Green Is More Than Solar Panels and Wind Turbines

Build Your Own Wind Turbine — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:51:11 +0000

There will be big money made in the renewable energy business, but some of the easiest money is ready to fall into your own lap. Going green can save you green…a lot of green. There are dozens of things you can do to save energy that will not only help the planet but your financial health as well.

Some green projects for your home improvement plans are fairly elaborate and may cost a little money, and others are very simple. Some things will give you astonishing returns on your investment, while others will pay you back more slowly, but give you that warm green feeling, anyway.

You will get the best bang for your investment buck by focusing first on ways you can avoid using energy around your home, before you start trying to find ways to install renewable energy systems. The fastest return on your investment will come from insulating your attic, caulking around your window and doors, and buying or making insulated coverings to use on your windows at night in the winter.

The next step is to reduce the amount of energy your lighting and appliances require. Replacing incandescent lighting with compact fluorescent bulbs or LED lighting pays off quickly, and looking for energy efficient appliances when your old ones die is also a good step.

Once you have your conservation steps all in place, then you might want to think about installing renewable energy systems. Installing DIY solar panels or building your own wind turbine might be a good option for you if you are handy with tools and knowledgeable enough to work around electricity safely. Or, you can buy a relatively inexpensive commercially manufactured home wind turbine. One small wind turbine can cut the amount of electricity you need to buy from your utility company by an amount hat can add up to a very significant savings.

Going green can be as simple and cheap or as elaborate and expensive as you want it to be. The important thing is that you decide on a course of action and then act on it. Especially with the current tax incentives for energy conservation and renewable energy projects, your good green intentions will translate into green in your pocket.

Search the web for energy conservation and renewable energy products you may not easily find in your local big box store. A good place to start is BeGreenAndProsper.com.

2 Quick Buying Tips for Cheaper Home Solar Panels and a Cheaper Home Wind Turbine

Build Your Own Wind Turbine — Tue, 04 May 2010 21:35:19 +0000

It’s important to understand the role that technological change plays in the pricing of your home solar panels and home wind turbines. This is the third most important ingredient in budgeting for your homemade electricity solutio. Understanding your homemade electricity needs and how efficent both home solar panels and home wind turbines can be in your living environment are the other two key factors.

The Technolgy Pricing Curve

The technology price curve, when shown on a chart, looks a litle like a ski slope. On this chart the vertical axis represents price, the horizontal units sold. When the technolgy is first released it ver expensive and not many buy. However overtime more buy and as they do the price plummets until you have very large numbers being sold at a low price. This is how the technolgy pricing curve generally works.

Calculating your best time to buy.

In short the best time to buy the components to make your home solar panel and home wind turbine solution is when a component has just become yesterdays news. Many people buy the latest thing they can and this is great, but not financially efficent. Buying whatever is the standard, middle of the road component can be a good idea, however the products to watch are those that used to be the standard but have just become “old” in the last few weeks. These components should see a rapid price fall that eventually stabalizes. If you buy as soon as the price stabalises you will get the best value for money in terms of technology for your home solar panel and home wind turbine solution.

Conclusion

Buying just behind the technology curve is not for everyone. Some people want to show others that they have made a serious investment in becoming energy independant and cheaper older technolgy doesn’t fulfill this goal. If on the otherhand your goal is to build from costs effective and well tested components this brief guide will ensure you dlollar goes further.

Thinking about Installing a Do It Yourself Home Solar Panels?

Build Your Own Wind Turbine — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 11:20:18 +0000

Assessing a do it yourself solar electricity system on your home? Imagine changing openly available solar electricity into electricity that may be used to power your house.

The quantity of electricity that’ll be generated relies on the number and wattage of the solar panels and the amount of direct sun light the solar panels receive. If the solar panels are manufacturing more electricity that what’s wanted to run your house the excess solar energy can be sold to the electrical company.

This is a great situation to be in, be selling electricity back to the application district. There are a couple of things you need to consider before deciding on installing a solar energy system on your home.

To regain the original investment you want to figure out how long it’ll take. You do not need to move out of the home before having recovered your investment. Have you got a huge enough room on your roof where the solar panels can be installed on that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun light each day? Solar cells work the best in direct sunlight. If the majority of the southerly facing roof space is covered by nice giant trees a photovoltaic system isn’t going to supply much electricity.

Are you snug walking on your roof? Is it too steep for you? When installing a do it yourself solar energy system you’ll be passing a little time on the roof installing the solar panels and wiring them together. If you’re not snug working on the roof for a day or 2 you may want to think about hiring someone to install the solar panels for you. A way to find a do it yourself solar electricity outlets that you can work with is to commence with the yellow pages and contact the local solar outlets in your neighborhood. Check out each retailer with the local BBB. Another possibility is to search for solar retailer sites with the search phrase ‘do it yourself solar electricity system’. Be certain to verify the site is credible and secure.

Before buying a do it yourself solar energy system from a retailer be they local or online there are some questions you need to ask them.

Will they help you identify the load of your house and size the solar electricity system to your house’s electric needs?

Will they let you review the installation instructions before buying the solar electricity system?

When you Should Choose Wind Turbines Over Solar Panels

Build Your Own Wind Turbine — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:47:14 +0000

Many people today are unaware of why and when you should use renewable energy sources in today’s world. The main reason for using natural energy is mainly down to the environment, and if you care to improve the quality of it. But with many viable energy sources out there, which one you choose can be a nightmare to decide upon.

Before you set off to purchase lets say, a couple of solar panels, you should take a look at the other technologies available to decide which is most appropriate for your environment. For example, solar panels may not be of much use near the poles, put a hefty, durable wind turbine would love to sit up there and spin round and round all day.

You don’t have to be a genius to discover that solar panels work best near the equator and reduce in efficiency, the further away you travel from the equator. So, if you live nearer the poles than the equator, you should choose a wind turbine right? Wrong!!!!

Wind turbines could be placed anywhere on our globe (where the land can support them) and still generate hardly any power whatsoever. It all depends on the surrounding environment, for instance, if you build a home wind turbine in your backyard, you could be very disappointed, unless you were the only house in the most common wind direction. What we mean by this is, if there are many houses surrounding your house, they will block most of the winds power and your turbine will probably just spin round at a very slow speed (assuming its windy), and this doesn’t generate the power you require.

However, if you live in the country and place a turbine in your backyard, you are more likely to generate a larger output of electricity. So the answer is buy one if you live in the countryside? Wrong again!!!

If there are large hills, forests or mountains nearby, these too can greatly reduce the winds power. Before purchasing a wind turbine you should definitely either do research yourself into the surrounding are, or hire a professional to do a survey. If your house is surrounded by other houses, dense tree plantations, hills, or mountains, (presuming they are blocking the path of the average wind direction), you should consider looking into solar cells or even a geothermal system to heat your home.

Advantages Of Solar Energy – Build Your Own Solar Panels

Build Your Own Wind Turbine — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:37:44 +0000

Solar power’s advantage over other renewable sources may not seem overwhelming at first glance, but with a little time to study you will soon see why more and more American’s are switching to solar power.

In nearly any neighborhood around the World, if you look closely enough you’re very likely to find someone supplementing their power with solar panels. Today, I’ll be sharing my research and experience with solar and why I’VE chosen to use it for my home’s “green” energy.

Why Solar Energy?

Solar energy is a renewable and inexhaustible source of powerful energy that is derived from the sun. Science tells us that the Sun isn’t in jeopardy of dying on us for at least a couple of billion years. Luckily, the complete lack of environmental pollution leaves us in a great position. With a little knowledge, solar power can leave literally ZERO impact on the ozone… Try that with “traditional” methods.

This power source is one of the only that is regarded the world over as being truly clean and safe. Another advantage of solar energy is its versatility. Batteries, cars, trams, satellites and more can easily be powered with it. It’s compatibility is what makes it so wonderful, you can easily replace, or supplement nearly any energy source. For example, with a wind generator and a few panels you can EASILY live completely off the grid.

A few other advantages of solar energy

Whether you install the panels on your roof, behind your home, or somewhere even more discreet, you immediately benefit from very long operational life spans. Most solar providers guarantee their panels will last all the wear and tear the environment can throw at ‘em for at LEAST twenty years. The electricity that solar home system will generate will be done silently and as a result you need not fear noise pollution.

During the long summer months, when you can enjoy abundant sunlight, the utility bills can get slashed by up to 90%. It can take a year or more to cross your “pay-off point” (the cost of the panels) but after that moment, you’ll know that you’re literally MAKING money every month instead of throwing it away. With the right planning, your solar energy farm can even make you money!

Power companies are required BY LAW to pay you for the excess energy you produce. Take the right steps, and start raking in the cash. You may not think of it at first, but your photovoltaic cells (solar panels) will actually keep your house safer by adding one more protective layer to your roof; reducing your heating and cooling costs, and extending the life of your home. And that’s a wrap! There are many other benefits to using solar energy, but that’s all I have off the top of my head for now.

Discover how simple it is to build your own solar panels for homes and save up to $2,200 a year on your home energy costs: See the top guides reviewed at: http://www.SolarPanelForHome.org

Do it yourself Kit – Building Your Own Solar Panels or Wind Power Generator

Build Your Own Wind Turbine — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:34:50 +0000

With the World slowly and surely moving into a dreaded energy crisis, it is important for us to now think of other sources of energy and reduce our dependency on non-renewable sources. The so-called non-renewable sources are becoming extinct. Some reports suggest that the present Oil reserves will deplete by 2050 at the present rate of consumption.

So, it is high time that we think of other sources of energy like renewable sources which as the name itself suggests are RENEWABLE.

There are most importantly 3 sources of renewable energy namely – 1. Hydro or Water 2. Solar or the Sun power 3. Wind Power. Let’s take each individually

1. Hydro — This type of energy is produced by building huge hydro electric generating stations whereby water which is stored in reservoirs are let out and pass them through generators to create electricity. This type of generating electricity is one of the oldest and is also capital intensive meaning it requires huge investments.

2. Solar / Sun Power – This is generating electricity by using the power of the Sun. As you know, Sun power is unlimited and is available in abundancy and all the more important it is FREE. We are blessed with this power which is being wasted without harnessing it. We can generate electricity by building Solar Panels and capturing the Solar Power in the Panels which are made up of Solar cells also known as Photovoltaic Cells.

3. Wind Power – This is another type of power which is available in abundancy and again is FREE. Electricity can be generated by building Windmills which rotate when there is wind blowing and generate electricity through a generator.

Nowadays, the Technology is so improved that we can build our own Solar Panels or Wind Power Generators at home with materials available in our local hardware stores to generate electricity. This way we can eliminate or reduce our Electricity bill.
