How much would it cost upfront to install solar panels in my home and what could I save?

Posted on 31st July 2010 by admin in solar panels home

I’m curious what the average household spends to install solar panels in California. Also for those of you that have installed them, how much would you say you saved in the first year? The second?

Thank you for your time answering this.

Solar systems can be a "Hefty" investment. But there’s a great return. If you were to install a system the federal government will give you 30% of what you spent. Many utility companies will often give you an incentive/rebate.

And last of all, your electricity bill will be much less then you are spending now. You could even receive a credit on your bill each month if you produce more energy with your panels then you use. You can read more about it on the Sungate Energy Solutions website and blog:

Wind Generators For Home Use - How To Build One On Your Own?

Posted on 31st July 2010 by admin in home windmill

Wind generators for home use are fast becoming the choice of homeowners looking to save on energy bills. The savings apart, they are also great for the environment too. With the right supplies and tools, you too can build your own wind generator these days. You can have a machine that will put an end to all your worries about the energy bills.

Contrary to popular perception wind generators for home use are not that difficult to build. Some of the things that you need for building one in your home include bolts, nuts and batteries, things that you can always find in a hardware store near you. With these easily available things, you can now build your own wind generator, with a little bit of effort on your part. Moreover, you need not spend a small fortune to build and install a windmill in your home.

You will need to make sure that you check the appropriate laws that govern installation of windmills in your particular area. You will need a proper permit to install one in your home. You can start off the entire process by first of all finding a proper location in your home. When it comes to the design of wind generators, there are two types that are available, horizontal axis and vertical axis, with the former being the more widely in domestic generators.

DC motors are usually used when building wind generators for home use. The size of the motor will also dictate the size of the blades of the windmill. The simple thumb rule being, the bigger the motor, the bigger would be the size of the blades. While the blades are usually made of PVC, for the body of the machine, stainless steel is preferred.

Can you remove solar panels to another home?

Posted on 21st July 2010 by admin in solar panels home

So we will be moving to a home out in CA, the desert part where its usually 100* Degrees. So we definitly want to get solar panels to reduce energy costs considering we will have AC all day and heating in winter. But we only to plan to live there about 2- 3years. Can you move solar panels to another house?

Sure you can! They don’t have to be mounted to the house, that is where they are usually put to take up less space and not be shaded by buildings, but if you have a large property, they can be mounted on stands. Alternately, I am sure they can mount them on the roof in a way that minimizes the damage and can easily be removed and the roof repaired.

I think the system is a great investment and the cost of moving them can be minimal, depending if you can haul them yourself. Anyways, I just wanted to include a link to some more info on solar panels http://homepower.com/basics/solar/

How many and which Solar Panels are for my home???Are they good of bad?

Posted on 10th July 2010 by admin in solar panels home

My home is 10,200sq.ft. and I was wondering if solar panels really are energy efficient, can lower your energy bill or if you can sell some power back to electric company because of the solar panels.
I have found some good and bad things about panels so I wanted to know if they are good or bad?

it depends on what you want. Heating water or electricity. It also depends on whether your home is ideally situated - not all of them are. Email me for more help if you like.

Where can I buy a portable solar panels for my home in the Philippines?

Posted on 30th June 2010 by admin in solar panels home

With the power crisis looming in, I think it’s better to have a solar panel than buy a portable generator which eats up petrol. Philippines must have the costliest fuel per liter in Asia. Problem is, solar panels can’t be bought as easily as generators.

Diy Wind Power:

Posted on 30th June 2010 by admin in energy windmill

Diy wind power is a major part of renewable energy systems. In this age of global warming when organizations are working hard to make people realize that we should adopt a lifestyle that is environment friendly. We must think about making maximum use of some features that nature is providing us. They are cost effective and immensely available. Yes, we are talking about Wind Power. Wind power is used to stop emissions into the atmosphere from conventional power systems. The wind holds remarkable energy and so harvesting it using a windmill is a very cost effective way to make power.

Wind generators called turbines are a good pick for home consumption and you can either use grid connection or battery system, depending on your own preference. On the other hand Renewable energy is sort of unreliable, besides being a difficulty shot to produce. Conversely wind power is much easier to produce and can fulfill almost 50% of energy needs for home consumption. Production of power through renewable means is feasible if you are ready to invest heavily. But if you are looking for an economic way out, with small investment then wind power is for you, and it is really good to be used for home. They come in many shapes and sizes, choose which suits your needs better.

Coming to the wind generator, its main purpose is to generate electricity in the system. Modern wind generator today is known as three-bladed wind generator. They are good for rotor balance and efficient in use. Rotational speed of the wind turbine determines the voltage and frequency of the generator. Wind electric systems can provide electricity on remote, off-grid sites, or right in town connected to the utility grid. So far maintenance and up being is concerned, as compare to solar-electric systems Wind systems asks for more attention and maintenance.

Wind turbines are not limited to only home consumption; they are equally popular in the public work sector. In fact they provide many advantages to public sector buildings, schools, offices and to local authorities. Public sector estate can become carbon neutral. It can benefit from on-grid environmentally sound energy and generate revenue from excess energy production. Small wind turbines protect themselves from high winds by changing the pitch of the blades. Governments are able to eliminate energy costs and reduce carbon emissions, by adopting wind turbine technology. You can understand that wind power has a lot more potential and it is consumer friendly also, besides being environment friendly. And at the end of the day there’s nothing quite like watching your wind generator convert your wind storm into electrical energy…what do you think?

Home solar electricity advice? Making the solar panels accessible?

Posted on 21st June 2010 by admin in solar panels home

I’m thinking of having solar panels to generate electricity. The drawbacks are that I’m afraid if it needs repair, I won’t be able to find anyone. Also I’m afraid that the roof is not very accessible. If it is a new house, should the roof have a roof hatch? What can make the system not work?

Modern solar electric panels rarely fail. Because of this, if you would be installing them over a roof that only has a few years left on it, it would be better to redo the roof, first. In the unlikely event that a panel needs to be changed, this can be done in 30 minutes or so, because the panels are mounted on racks, with everything simply plugging together.

I have never personally seen a solar installation go bad, but from what I hear, the inverter (a box that goes in next to your electric service panel) is usually what burns out after 15 years, assuming the install was done right in the first place.

If you were to call roofers to repair your roof, they would somehow be able to get to your roof, by ladders, or a special truck. Solar installers use the same kind of equipment. They won’t have a problem getting up there.

A solar electric system is actually a very straightforward thing. No matter who installs it, if there is a problem, another installer should be able to diagnose and fix it.
