Hi,

       following the UK Governments announcement of its clean energy loan scheme, the sales of solar panels are predicted to rise. The idea of the scheme is of course very sound, however I think we need to be aware of possible exaggerated claims for the benefits to be achieved.

Let us remember that if you go to a solar panel provider then you are likely to be charged from $12,000 (£8,000) to $20,000 (£14,000) for supply and installation. This of course does not have to be the case as you can build your own panels for a fraction of this cost as I mentioned in my previous post.

The benefits are real in that you can save from 50%, 80% on your electricity bill and even eliminate it altogether. Once you eliminate your bill you can than sell your surplus electicity back to the grid, and there are tarifs already in place to do this.  Caution is advised however as I have seen figures bandied about of earning $1,348 (£900) selling the surplus electricity back to the grid.

What should you do? Well the first thing to do is to look at your electricity bill over the last year to assess just how much electricity you consumed.  For example  typical systems are generally around 1.5-2kWp, which would be enough to provide almost half of the average family’s annual supply. This would require an array covering 10-15 square metres of roof area.

Therefore the second thing to assess is just how much roof space you have available on which to erect the panels.  Other important factors concern your location, is it exposed to the sun, are there any obstructions such as tall buildings or trees obstructing the sun. There are of course two types of solar panels, panels using photovoltaic cells to generate electricity and flat panel or avacuated tube panels to heat water.

If you are in an area which is exposed to wind then you may want to consider a small scale wind turbine. You can check the wind speed in your area through your local met office or wind association. In the UK it is said that a wind speed of 4 to 6 metres per second is required in order to make a wind turbine viable.

I trust that this has been helpful. There are great saving to be made on your electricity bills, just be careful and do your homework before deciding which is the best green energy scheme for you.

Are you tired of constantly rising electricity Bills?

Now you can build your own FREE electricity generator at Home!

Hi Everyone,

The possibility to generate our own FREE electricity at home is an attractive proposition for many families who are struggling at this time to pay their bills.

There are three alternative energy resources that will generate FREE electricity. Solar power, wind power and magnetic power. Lets look at how to generate FREE electicity at home and the factors to take on board when deciding which type of generator will suit your needs.

The location of your home is important if you are considering wind power energy. In order to get the most benefit from installing a wind turbine at your home you will need to check on the wind speed at your location. Experts state that the wind speed needs to be 5 to 6 metres per second. You obtain this imformation from your local met office, or wind resource organisation.

Clear Exposure to wind is also important. If your house is surrounded by trees or tall buildings this will affect your exposure.

Location is also a factor when considering to erect solar panels to generate electricity. Although Photovoltaic cells used to generate electricity only require daylight to produce electricity, the greater the exposure to the sun and the intensity the greater the amount of electricity will be generated. normally solar panels are fitted to the roof of the house, but if this is not possible they can be mounted on a platform away from the house and away from any obstruction by tall trees or buildings. I have not used either of these systems yet, although I have used solar panels to heat water.

The third type of FREE electricity generator is the magnetic power energy. I have not used this system myself as yet although I intend to do so. If you live in a location that is not exposed to much wind or sunshine then this may be the system to suit you. The magnetic power generator does not depend on any other resource to operate. It will work in any location, takes up little space and most importantly once it is started with a battery it runs indefinitely . The magnetic power generator will operate in any extremes of temperature and is safe to use.

Hi,

        I am sure that most people would now agree that global warming is now a reality, and that there is increasing pressure on all of us to conserve energy. What many may not realise however is that it is now possible for anyone to build their own renewable energy system at home.

Homemade solar power kits are now available online for less than $50 which will show you exactly how to build your own solar panels to generate electricity for a fraction of the cost of an energy company. The sun is the most abundant source of natural energy available.

We use Photovoltaic cells to convert radiation from the sun into electricity. These cells are connected together to form modules which in turn are linked to form an array/panel. Photovoltaic cells only require daylight to generate electricity, but the greater the intensity of light the greater the flow of electricity.

Whilst it is true that energy companies will charge thousands of dollars to supply and fit solar panels to your home, you can build your own homemade solar power system for $200. You can start off with one solar panel and add more according to how much electricity you wish to generate. The saving will be up to 80% on your electricity bill and if you add sufficient capacity you can even eliminate your bill altogether.

The important point is to make sure that you purchase a solar power kit/manual that is well illustrated and has video instructions as well as ongoing support and is written in plain english. I have checked out these online kits and can highly recommend the manual at the link below:  Click Here!
