Renewable Energy Got Solar?

Posted by admin on December 30, 2008

This site is all about Solar education. My goal is to help others take a complex subject and put it in a “It’s not rocket science” approach!

There are five principal renewable sources of energy: the sun, the wind, flowing water, biomass and heat from within the earth.

When it comes to Alternative Energy, it can be a little mind-boggling. There are lots of questions and too few answers.

Questions, like “I have a 2800 sq. ft. home.  How much will a system cost and what type of solar equipment should I use?”

Because of the looming Globle Warming Issue, people all over the world are finally taking a long hard look at Renewable Energy.  Photovoltaics, Wind, and Hydro offer a great source of energy. But, what will work for one, may not work for another.

Some people live where the sun shines 90 percent of the year;  whereas for others, the sun does not shine much due to weather or shade. For some, the wind BLOWS all the time. Some people have a year around creek or river flowing through there property, so a system must be configured to match YOUR location.
