Bringing the Sun Home

Solar energy is one of the cleanest forms of energy in this world today.  It has plenty of benefits and very few drawbacks.  It could literally change how we look at home energy costs today if more people understood how using solar energy to power your home is not only practical, but much easier than they ever thought.

Solar Panels

Home solar panels can power a home if you live in an area with typically long daylight hours.  Most of the United States could efficiently use solar panels to produce their electricity.  The initial cost of installing the panels into your home is costly.  Since this is a relatively new technology for private use the panels can cost upward of a thousand dollars and some larger homes may require two panels to sufficiently produce enough electricity for your needs.  However, the savings they would provide you will quickly surpass the initial investment.

Many homes can easily install the panels on their roof.  Solar panels can not produce energy after the sun goes down, so you would need a back up source for power during those hours.  Even cutting down half of your dependence on high voltage wires to deliver you electricity helps our planet and helps produce less of a carbon footprint on the Earth.  If you live in an area that is extremely rural solar cells could immensely help you with your energy needs.  Even though installing solar panels are expensive it is actually cheaper to install the cells than to lay the power lines needed to provide you with electricity in your home.

The pros of using solar power highly outweigh the cons, but due to initial cost many people will not even consider their use. However, by increasing our demand of solar cells and increasing our knowledge of this renewable energy source will greatly lower the cost of installing the cells over time.  Knowledge is power and just might even save this planet.  Consider converting to solar power today.
