What You Can Do with Solar Energy
Solar Energy is Sun Power
It is estimated that the amount of sunlight that hits the surface of the earth each day is enough to provide electricity to every single home for a number of years. Harnessing that power, however, can be a bit of a struggle – for all of the excellent progress made with solar panels over the years, harvesting solar energy still hasn’t reached the point that we need it to be to maximize our lives. When your home is powered with the energy of the sun, you’ve got so much that you can do, and get done, you’ll never think about where your power is coming from.
Heat Your Home
Your HVAC system is relatively low-maintenance, but can drive up electric bills in hot, sticky summers and freezing winters. Sun from the energy can fill your home with all of its warmth, and give you more than enough light to see your way through work and through chores. The light from the sun, captured by solar panels, enters your home’s electric system, and gives your home warming system all of the power that it needs to keep you and your loved ones comfortable.
Cool Your Home
The same power that the sun gives off to make your home warm and your lights come on when you need them will also let you run that air conditioner until you love the climate inside of your home or business. Don’t be shy about consuming energy when you’re using solar; solar energy is green and completely renewable, and you can use it to the full extent of the life of your appliances. Making things even better, solar power, whether you are taking it from a local energy supplier, or whether you have solar panels installed on your home or in your yard, will bring down the cost of your energy bills.
Watch the Game
The television and microwave are our favorite high-drain devices. We use the microwave to heat food, of course, but we also use it to heat hot packs, coffee, cleaning solutions, and to melt things quickly. Solar panels are your best friends on game day – you can keep your television on all day, and all night, without worrying about having to pay an exorbitantly high bill in a week! Play the game as loud as you want while your leftover nachos are in the microwave, getting to a chewy casserole that you and the kids love. If you need a sweet finish, run back to the microwave for a mug cake, and you’re good to go!
Wash and Dry Clothes
We love our clothes clean and dry, and not for no reason: even sitting in a wet bathing suit on a warm day can put you at risk for catching a cold! Many people save energy by skipping the clothes dryer, and putting clothes on a clothes line, but solar energy will send you right back to the dryer. With solar energy, you have all of the power you need with minimal financial responsibility, and plenty more power where that came from!
