  • Renewable Resources - Home Solar Power Systems - Wind Power Facts - How can you make a house energy  By : Gina Alliston
    Modern day energy conservation is imperative. Everyday we read warnings in the news of our rapid consumption of non-renewable resources and the constantly increasing demand on our power supply. renewable energy resources are accessible every year, unlike non-renewable energy resources which are ultimately used up. If all non-renewable energy resources were completely exhausted in 30 years, they would barely account for 7 percent of available resources each year, if all obtainable renewable resources were developed. Advances in know-how and economies of scale, together with mandate for solutions to global warming, have led solar power to turn out to be the most probable contender to replace nuclear and fossil fuels. The obtainable wind energy estimates range from 300 TW to 870 TW. Using the lower estimate, just 5% of the available wind power would supply the existing global energy needs. So, what can we do? Home solar power systems are being talked about more and more around the globe.

    There is zero multinational bickering concerning whom has ownership over this power. There is no protests, or even conversations about it. It's all free, & we could not possibly construct near enough nuclear reactors to even begin to compete with what we can do in competition of the sun.

    And we then have wind turbine power. While the sun has gone down for the night, most definitely the air outside it's still moving around. Obviously this air is likely blowing around during broad daylight as well!

  • Generate Your Own Home Power | Solar Panels  By : CoolMamie
    If, in your desire to be self-sufficient with regard to powering your home, you decide that you would like to go down the 'do-it-yourself' road and build your own solar panels, you will have to do a bit of homework and ascertain how much electricity you use over 12 months - check your power bills (while you're checking your usage check how much you have paid over that time, also!). Then divide the total yearly consumption by 375 to find out your average per day.

    The next thing to do is work out how large a system you will require. The average production of a panel 1 square yard in size is 90W/hour, so you will need to know what is the average per day of sunlight hours where you live - (get this from the weather bureau or whatever government department handles this sort of information). Multiply the 90W by the number of sunlight hours per day to give you the daily production of power from one panel, 1 square yard in size.

    If you then use your daily production from one solar panel
