Solar radiation, as well as other solar resources like wind power, wave power and hydroelectricity make up over 99% of the renewable energy sources available to us. Amazing!<\/p>\n
I remember reading about google’s goal of installing enough solar panels to generate electricity for 50,000 homes.<\/a> They have made a real commitment to investing in renewable energy resources.<\/p>\n Imagine if we each made JUST ONE home appliance solar powered? We can start small – like a solar powered I-Pod charger or some solar powered outdoor lights. How about a solar powered cell phone charger?<\/a> Once you realize how easy it is to begin using solar power, you’ll be ready to convert some of your bigger energy drains…..like maybe a hot water heater?<\/p>\n People are motivated to convert to solar power for a variety of reasons. Some look at the financial benefits while others are more concerned about the earth.<\/p>\n We all have been hit hard this year with rising fuel costs. My cars cost more to fill up, my home cost even more to cool down, and I just got a huge bill from my propane company. The only fuel source that cost the same this year as last is my solar bill. It’s still ZERO!<\/p>\n Although I personally got involved with solar energy for financial reasons, my focus has changed over time. I am glad to be doing just a little bit to reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n If you’re ready to take the plunge, take a look at our solar panels<\/a> and solar controllers<\/a>. Remember to take your time, do your homework, then be prepared to reap the benefits of solar power for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Solar radiation, as well as other solar resources like wind power, wave power and hydroelectricity make up over 99% of the renewable energy sources available to us.
