Generating energy on your own may seem like a task far beyond the ability of household average. In any case, what most people don't know is that it's never easy! More importantly, use energy source renewable can help prevent global warming and of course can also save expenses.
How does it work?
Although it often happens common mistake, renewable energy is every bit reliable as the energy obtained from many traditional sources. Myth like dramatically change routine family day-to-day, or spend the day without electricity because the sun doesn't shine, are complete and just crap.
In fact, renewable energy attractive power from couldn't source a source that never runs out. This source includes the wind, the sun, the sea, or waste products and crops.
Scientists have also developed a unique device, or microgeneration technology, which can store up the power which is absorbed from the source so you can run the household for weeks after the sun has decreased or the wind has stopped blowing.
There are a lot of options for every family that's interested in producing energy of their own. The most common, and most readily available, as described below:
Photovoltaic (PV) cells are the panels you can attach to your walls or ceiling. Each cell of boards consists of one or two layers of semiconducting material, usually made of Silicon. Solar cells consist of two layers of an adjacent semiconductor are equipped with metal separation of contacts and all doped each, thus creating a layer "n" (n = negative) with an excess of electrons, and below that, a layer of "p" (p = positive) with electron deficiency. Because of the difference in concentration, the electrons flow from n to the p area, thus creating an electric field, or "space charge zone", inside the structure of semiconductors. At the point when the light shines on the cell, it creates an electric field over the layers. The strongest produce the sunshine, the more electricity.
The strengths of the photoelectric cell in kilowatt peak (kWp). Kilowatt peak (kWp) is the amount of energy which generate the cell in the full sunlight. Cells of the PV Power can produce the amount of electricity depends on the strength of the sun, the composition of cells and photovoltaic, the amount of space they cover, the color and the amount of shadow falling on it.
PV system typically consists of four basic elements.
PV array: generate electricity by solar cells. Individual solar cells are combined into the solar group or module. After that, several solar modules are grouped together to form a PV array.
Inverter: PV array produces energy in the form of direct current or DC power. That energy needs to be converted to AC (alternating current) before it can be connected to the network utility. The inverter is the most important part of the system and is responsible for performing this conversion safely and efficiently.
Utility Meters: the scale tool tells you – and the power company – The amount of energy you use and how you have a lot of power feeds from the network utility. The many states have programs that generate energy credit to you and feed the system. Meter tracks how much of each.
Performance monitoring: using various forms of meters between a simple view of wireless devices, access to Web-based data to track the performance of PV systems. There are many options available to suit your specific needs.
The Benefits of Solar Electricity
• It saves money by reducing electricity bills. Sunlight is free, and you've paid once for the underlying installation so your power expenses will be significantly reduced.
• Helps preserve the environment. Solar energy does not discharge any harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) or other pollutants. System PV typical home can save over 1 ton of CO2 per year.
• You can take advantage of the possibility to feed-in tariffs, which increase your energy costs. If your system is producing more electricity than is required by your home, you can pay the price of the cost to generate electricity.
• May be stored electricity for a cloudy day. If your home isn't connected to the national grid, you can store excess electricity in batteries and use it when you need it. It should be tilted up facing the sun. The desired angle of the solar panels will depend on the latitude of the location of your house.
Solar Hot Water

In the system, a solar hot water enters the cold water in the pressure pipe of the solar panel. The group aimed the absorption of the heat of the sun and converted into the water as efficiently as possible. The sun heats up the water and transfers hot water to a storage tank and hot water. It also comes hot water, and it pushes the cold water to the bottom of the tank (because hot water rises, so you must drop cold water). The cold water is pushed to the solar panel, where they will be warmed. How much you hate this state, the water in the tank will get hotter and hotter until it reaches the design temperature. If the sun is not high enough to heat the water in the tank to the desired temperature (usually 55 to 60 ° C) and then the electricity or gas booster will kick in to add the extra heat required. The heating Electric Water one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and household, accounting for about 25 percent of carbon emissions in the average home. Change hot water with solar energy can reduce the power consumption in the house this early.
Another benefit is that, despite the fact that solar systems cost more to purchase and install, and will recover the costs of additional providers over the life of the system through reduced energy bills. Solar power systems will use their costs more quickly in larger families, and where there is a lot of access to sunlight.
Sunroom
A sunroom a can be a valuable asset in your home. Sunroom room with large windows facing the sun. You can use a brick wall or a concrete floor to collect heat. You can use the room for drying clothes or as an entertainment area, an exceptional value during the winter.
