Solar Energy Today
We have definitely only scratched the surface of solar energy and with each year our technology gets smaller and faster and so do our efforts at using solar energy.
What better fuel alternative than that great big ball of fire is the sky that won’t be depleted any time soon. This means that none of the hard labor is required that is necessary in the acquisition of fossil fuels. The sunlight is readily available for at least 12 hours a day, which is enough time to acquire the necessary energy to run a household.
Soar energy is also the most clean energy available. You do not use nonrenewable sources from the earth like fossil fuels or H2O (although we have a lot of it). No pollutants are put into the air. Solar energy is free, clean, and plentiful. Just reach out and grab some.
With the onset of nanotechnology solar power is about to become the cheapest fuel ever. The cost per watt has been estimated to be less than a dollar. Currently the cost per watt averages around $4.00. Hey wait, isn’t that what gas is at?
The maintenance for a solar power system to run your house should be minimal. Most of the panels I have seen have around 10 year warranties, some more, some less. Just like with everything you have wear and tear. But heck, most people don’t even keep there cars for ten years nowadays and I know there is no such thing as a ten year warranty on a car. Point is with the old solar panels you would make a return on investments on average of five to ten years. With the new cheaper and more efficient systems you would see it in two to five years.
The solar industry is about to have a huge boom. If you have ever thought about getting a solar system for your house the time is almost ripe for cheap energy and a way to get you off the grid.
Well I shouldn’t say totally off the grid since that would require a battery storage which is major mula. It will still be necessary to get some of your power from the electric company. However, you can check with your electric company to see what your choices are when you push some of your own energy back on the line. When you have a surplus during the day it will be put on the electric company’s line. Yes just imagine the that little wheel spinning in reverse for the first time. For this they will either give you a credit or a check depending on how much you generate and their policy.
