Solar power systems take the sun’s energy and change it over into electrical power. And once that solar power system is hooked up to your home, the energy it provides will power most of your needs. Solar lighting system for your home translates to savings in your energy bills. You could build your own solar panel today, and make your home a green energy home.
Burning Fossil fuels produces harmful by-products and generates harmful gases that pollute the Earth and leads to global warming same is the case with nuclear fuels which generate dangerous byproducts that are hard to dispose off. Water is a limited resource and energy that can be tapped is also limited. Moreover huge dams cause their own problems by displacing people and destroying large amounts of fertile land. With our indiscriminate use of conventional fuels we are slowly but surely destroying our Earth’s eco-system and many species have vanished into oblivion because of our thoughtless acts. More and more are joining the list. Tough action is needed and needed now.
These doomsday scenarios are not some work of science fiction. It is what is slated to happen if the we continue to burn fossil fuels and the resultant pollutions continues unchecked.
Mainly due to the fact technology to tap the sun was not advanced enough to commercially exploit and also due to the high cost of tapping solar power there was this misconception that sun’s energy is exotic and its practical use is a business model of the remote future. It is not so. Sun’s energy is a serious alternative to traditional energy even at this present moment.
Using this energy source is our best option to cut our dependence on fossil fuels. Experts believe that solar power will be the main renewable energy source in the future, if not for anything else then because of gigantic energy potential that our Sun has. Solar power is an outstanding green energy source because it is replenish-able, and it does not lead to any damage to the environment. Solar energy can be used in different ways – passive, active, and by harnessing solar power by using photovoltaic or PV cells.
Solar power is low maintenance. The solar lighting systems are easy to maintain. They do not involve high costs or too much effort, thus letting you reap the benefits of the solar power without too much effort.
