Energy Solutions Which Help You Save Mother Earth

The sun isn’t going to run cold in the foreseeable future. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to harness its energy to convert into power generating solutions. These will not simply cut your electricity bills drastically, but probably eliminate your dependence on utility grids. Unless you’re located in a geographic area where sunlight is a scarce luxury, or where there is little or no sunlight for months on end; solar power is a responsible option to exercise.

You Don’t Need to Scrounge on Lighting the Home

There is a meme on social media which says that "I used to be afraid of the dark. Now, when I see my electricity bills, I’m scared." You needn’t be scared of your electric bills or be terrified of lighting up your home. Invest in solar panels for homes to generate sufficient electricity for your household needs. If you live in a mostly sunny area like in the tropics, and sub-tropics; you will certainly be able to generate enough power to sustain you through stormy or rainy days. Depending on the system you install, and the domestic consumption in terms of how many devices need to be run, the number of fans, lights, and other equipment, you might even be able to generate excess electricity which can’t be stored.

Sell the excess to a local provider/utility: You can turn your investment in solar panels profitable by selling the excess electricity generated to a local utility or provider. Instead of selling in cash value, you could opt for a barter in which the utility provides you electricity in specified circumstances.

Ideal Energy Solution for Hard to Reach Areas

There are many circumstances when you might require to create off grid solar systems to generate electricity such as when you live in a hard to reach area, or need to work there. Such a system would be composed of solar panels, controller, inverter, battery bank, solar panel mounting racks, and other accessories required to complete the system. When you are constructing a new factory, facility, or even a multi storied building; you would need to pump water, weld joints, even saw materials for construction to customize them. All these require massive loads of electricity. However, a new under-construction site would not be issued a metered connection.

Don’t be caught in a Catch-22 situation: With your own off grid solar system, you can generate as much electricity as you require to complete the project without being ruined by electric bills. Moreover, while you save your pocket, you also reduce your carbon footprint, thereby protecting mother earth.
