Painted by Oshrit Mintz
This site is about home energy saving and about residential clean power generation. It will give you useful home energy saving tips, information on solar water heaters, data on residential solar power generation, home wind power generation and micro-hydro (water turbine) power generation. These are the ways to save on your residential energy bills as well as reducing your home carbon dioxide footprint
Solar Water Heating
Solar water heater is a simple system that converts sun radiation into heat.
It supplies hot water for your home and for your swimming pool You can Do It Yourself or consider a turn key job
A residential solar power system converts sun radiation directly into home compatible electrical power using photovoltaic solar panels. (The heart of the system).
Solar Components
Solar components are handy to buy as replacements or if one choose to buy each component for his solar system separately.
Solar Panels: Solar panels for home are the heart of the solar systems and constitute the major cost item
Solar Inverters: pure sine wave inverters convert the DC power generated by the solar panels to home compatible AC power
Solar Battery Chargers: Solar battery chargers are very useful for most homes, for RV travelers and for boaters and yachtsmen
Homeowners that have water stream on their premises, can harness the water kinetic energy to generate low cost, renewable electricity around the clock. Microhydro power generators proved to be a very cost effective way to generate clean residential electrical power.
Energy Tax Credits and Loans
Federal and states tax credits , subsidized solar energy loans and utilities' incentives are available in many US states. An interesting possibility is to sign solar lease contracts, similar in concept to car leasing.
These generous tax credits, loans and utility incentives can help you to finance the capital investment in solar water heaters, solar power systems and for improving home energy efficiency.
