			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;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.<span id="more-63"></span></p>
<p>Recently, numerous government authorities have provided monetary incentives to consumers and corporations who make investments into renewable energy sources, such as solar power and <a title="Wind Generator" href="http://www.diyenergy.net">wind energy</a>.&nbsp;Unfortunately&nbsp;the initial expense may turn out to be a little costly for a large number of consumers. It will certainly come down in price in the long term as new materials and methods of manufacturing are identified, sadly until then it continues to be a stumbling block for a lot of individuals.</p>
<p>The price of energy continues to increase, and is consuming a larger part of a families disposable income. As the population increases there will be an accelerated demand for energy and as a consequnce prices will increase even further. This does not even include the prospect of suppliers from various other international locations restricting supplies because of regional tensions or even home demand.</p>
<p>Until eventually the day does come when home energy is the norm, knowledgeable consumers are looking to generate their own energy requirements by setting up their own <a title="Solar Energy System" href="http://www.diyenergy.net">solar power systems</a> and wind generators. There are a selection of excellent do it yourself home energy publications that demonstrate in detail how an individual can easily become practically self sufficient in energy, and in many circumstances can actually make money by simply selling surplus energy back to the utility companies.</p>
<p>In our view, probably the best of these publications is Green Power Easy&#8217;s wonderfully simple <em>Guide to Alternative Energy</em>.&nbsp;Get <strong>complete details</strong> as to how this remarkable guide can help you <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">save&nbsp;significantly</span>&nbsp;on your power bills <a href="http://durella.greenpeasy.hop.clickbank.net?pg=main" target="_blank">by clicking here</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This article deals with the upsurge of interest in the home generation of renewable energy using solar panels.  It shows that what has in the past been out of reachof the average person is now a very affordable alterative to the utility companies and their frightening CO2 emissions.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.&nbsp; 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.</p>
<p>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.&nbsp; 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).<span id="more-61"></span></p>
<p>There is also a substantial variation in the cost of solar panels when considering home solar power systems. They can vary from $2 per Watt for DIY panels, to $10 per Watt for commercial panels.&nbsp; The number of panels required will also vary considerably depending on your geographic situation.&nbsp; For example Seattle has 2049 hrs of sunshine per annum whilst Phoenix has 3752, so that for every solar panel required in Phoenix to achieve a particular output of electricity, 1.8 panels would be required in Seattle.</p>
<p>The tremendous difference between the cost of DIY panels and those obtained commercially has seen a surge in interest in people wanting to build their own solar panels.&nbsp; For many people this means the difference between having renewable energy providing electricity for their homes and having to stay locked in to the power companies.</p>
<p>There are a number of excellent e-books available on the Internet which give simple and detailed instructions as to how the handy-person to build solar panels and wind turbines.</p>
<p>In our view, probably the best of these publications is Green Power Easy&#8217;s wonderfully simple&nbsp;<em>Guide to Alternative Energy</em>.&nbsp;Get&nbsp;<strong>complete details</strong>&nbsp;as to how this remarkable guide can help you&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #ffff00;">save&nbsp;significantly</span>&nbsp;on your power bills&nbsp;<a href="                 http://www.solar-power-wind-power.com/recommends/solarwind.php              " target="_blank">by clicking here</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This article will give an overview of the types and costs of various solar arrays and their physical and economical viability. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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..</p>
<p>Lighting for the outdoors such as when we are out camping is usually provided by small petrol engine driven generators.&nbsp; These are fairly expensive to buy and to run.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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. <span id="more-58"></span>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Solar power can also be used to generate electricity for the household.&nbsp; This is becoming a more common practice due to the falling prices of solar panels and the increasing prices of the power supplied by utilities.&nbsp; The solar panels are usually placed on the house roof and could cost as much as $20,000 to supply the needs of an average household.&nbsp; This is very much a ballpark figure as there are so many variables involved. For example many people these days build their own solar panels to provide solar power lighting simply because this can be done for as little as 25% of the cost of a commercially built product. </p>
<p>There are a number of excellent e-books available on the Internet that provide step by step directions for constructing your own solar panels and wind turbine generators and these are well worth reading.</p>
<p>In our view, probably the best of these publications is Green Power Easy&#8217;s wonderfully simple&nbsp;<em>Guide to Alternative Energy</em>.&nbsp;Get&nbsp;<strong>complete details</strong>&nbsp;as to how this remarkable guide can help you&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #ffff00;">save&nbsp;significantly</span>&nbsp;on your power bills&nbsp;<a href="                 http://www.solar-power-wind-power.com/recommends/solarwind.php              " target="_blank">by clicking here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good question; how does solar power work?&nbsp; Why is it relevant that you have an understanding of the basics of home-produced energy?&nbsp; And more importantly, why could such information have a beneficial effect on your life?</p>
<p>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.&nbsp;</p>
<p>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. &nbsp;</p>
<p>What this means to you is that you can decrease and even eliminate your reliance on the electric companies&rsquo; power grids, and enjoy significant savings.&nbsp; These guides very clearly explain and demonstrate the process of making your own solar energy panels (and even wind turbines).<span id="more-49"></span></p>
<p>So, how <strong>does </strong>solar power work?</p>
<p>Well, by means of specially constructed cells [photovoltaic cells], solar radiation&rsquo;s photon energy is transformed into electricity which can then be fed into your household.&nbsp; These cells are commonly referred to as PV cells. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The electric power that the PV cells produce is then passed through an inverter which changes the voltage to that required in domestic applications.</p>
<p>Very basically, this is how solar electricity is produced.&nbsp;The important thing to recognize however is that, just as with an automobile it isn&#8217;t really necessary to fully understand how it works to derive benefit from it, so it is with domestic solar power.&nbsp; How it happens is interesting, but the benefits to be derived from do-it-yourself solarenergy panels are even more interesting:</p>
<p>You save money&hellip; lots of money&mdash;and &nbsp;what is more, you help to reduce the amount of CO2 gases passing into the atmosphere and in that way play your part in minimizing mankind&rsquo;s carbon footprint.</p>
<p>There are numerous&nbsp;publications&nbsp;available on the Internet which deal with do-it-yourself projects of building and installing domestic renewable energy systems, particularly solar panels and wind turbines.</p>
<p>In our view, probably the best of these publications is Green Power Easy&#8217;s wonderfully simple&nbsp;<em>Guide to Alternative Energy</em>.&nbsp;Get&nbsp;<strong>complete details</strong>&nbsp;as to how this remarkable guide can help you&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #ffff00;">save&nbsp;significantly</span>&nbsp;on your power bills&nbsp;<a href="                 http://www.solar-power-wind-power.com/recommends/solarwind.php              " target="_blank">by clicking here</a>.</p>
