Solar Power – Wind Power

You do?

Well, Green DIY Energy may be just what you’re looking for…

Because Green DIY Energy helps people…

who are sick and tired of those constant, crippling electricity bills, (and who really are concerned about the damage to the environment caused by the power utilities)…

to save loads of money, and at the same time reduce their carbon footprint by simply, safely and inexpensively building their own solar panels and/or wind turbine/s and producing their very own electricity…

And that’s even if they regard themselves as really lousy “do-it-yourselfers” who are “all thumbs” and have never built anything remotely like this in their lives before.

Over the past few years there has been a great deal of controversy over the subject of gobal warming or climate change, with numerous leading scientists and political figures having entirely opposing views on the subject.Nevertheless, one thing is definitively certain, the Globe’s natural resources do need looking after, and regardless of your perspective on the climate change fiasco, the limited resources that we have taken for granted for so long will gradually run out unless of course we carry out some significant modifications to our lifstyle, and start looking to renewable forms of energy.

The increasing cost of electric power, the economic downturn and the concern that we all feel about the effects of global warming are just some of the reasons why many people are thinking of the possibility of generating their own solar power.  They share a hope that it might be economically feasible and that they would have the added bonus of making a contribution to the lessening of the greenhouse effect.

The fact of the matter is that it is a very complex problem to solve as a general proposition because there are so many variables involved one situation to another.  For example the cost of electric power varies between 5.8 cents per kilowatt hour in Kentucky to 14.31 cents in New York. It is even higher at 16.7 cents in Hawaii. ( 6/27/2008). Read the rest of this entry »

There are numerous applications for solar power lighting but probably the two most important are: (1) lighting our households and (2) making life more agreeable in outdoor situations such as camping. This article will attempt to provide simple and pertinent information about these two functions..

Lighting for the outdoors such as when we are out camping is usually provided by small petrol engine driven generators.  These are fairly expensive to buy and to run.  They are also noisy and smelly, to say nothing of their pollution. Solar power lighting on the other hand is less expensive (as a do-it-yourself project), far more portable and is totally non-polluting.  The downside is that batteries required to store the power generated from the sunlight so that it is available at night. Admittedly these batteries are heavy to handle but no more so than a petrol or diesel engine generator set. Read the rest of this entry »

Good question; how does solar power work?  Why is it relevant that you have an understanding of the basics of home-produced energy?  And more importantly, why could such information have a beneficial effect on your life?

Well, first of all, solar power is one of the cleanest, most effective, most efficient and most economical forms all of renewable energy available on the planet. 

Secondly, it is now possible to build your own source of domestic solar power, thanks to the many excellent do-it-yourself guides that are available on the Internet.  

What this means to you is that you can decrease and even eliminate your reliance on the electric companies’ power grids, and enjoy significant savings.  These guides very clearly explain and demonstrate the process of making your own solar energy panels (and even wind turbines).
