Sun Powered Homes

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.
