Save a lot of money and be your own energy provider. Energy costs nowadays are so high that it is taking a toll on the monthly budget of most people. Maybe this is because of our reliance on modern appliances and equipment that we fall prey to the use of electricity, and we are now stuck with the dilemma of not wanting to compromise comfort with cost.
There are several alternative sources of energy that you can tap into that will help you save in terms of electrical costs, as well as be beneficial to the environment. Power sources, such as solar and wind, are the most commonly used in household applications, though you can use hydropower if you are situated near a strong river.
Using renewal sources of energy have several advantages. One is that they cannot be depleted; another is that they do not create a by-product that can damage the environment. Lastly, the equipment needed to harvest these energies requires very little maintenance.
Let us take a look at how solar powered devices work. To collect energy from the sun, you need solar panels or an array of solar cells. This energy is then stored in batteries for future use. If you have appliances that run on DC, you can easily plug these directly to the battery source. If you use the regular AC appliances, then you will need an inverter to convert the power in the battery for use with those appliances. The solar cells have not been known to break down that easily and seldom are they being replaced. The only regular maintenance would be in the battery cells, which require you to level it with distilled water to keep the cells active.
Wind power generators need initial construction for the tower and fan blades. Energy collected from the wind is also stored in batteries and tapped into the same way. You can also a similar device for pumping water. There is just a disengagement mechanism for it to separate itself from the water pump in case your water tank is already full.
Any of these systems can be connected to the main power grid of the electric company within your area. They will pay for this use of power. In times that you generate more power than what you require, the excess power is fed into the grid for other consumers to use. In case there is something wrong with your system and you experience a power outage, the grid will power you with electricity from the power company itself.
Why not help yourself as well as your community? Be your own energy provider, save money, as well as earn money by doing this.
