The same week that Congress debates a $700 billion dollar bailout of the US financial system, the Senate has approved $18 billion in tax credits for companies that use renewable energy from wind, solar or geothermal. Tax credits will also reward cuts in energy consumption.

Solar power gains the most from the bill. Under the proposal, the tax credit for producing electricity from wind would be extended for one year. The credit for other renewable sources, such as wave and ocean tide projects, would be extended for two years. But the tax breaks for solar energy would be extended for eight years

Solar stocks rose on word of the bills progress. Firms like Tempe, Arizonas First Solar, San Jose, Californias SunPower, and Marlboro, Massachusetts Evergreen Solar saw gains of 7 to 12 percent.

Previously, the Bush administration opposed tax breaks for renewable energy development. But the presidents attitude seems to have changed.
“Despite concerns with some provisions in this bill, it’s a bill the president can sign, and we strongly encourage the House to pass it,” said White House spokesperson Tony Fratto.

http://www.EnergyBrainiac.com – Do-It-Yourself Solar Panels – a Cheaper Home Energy Solution
There are already several do-it-yourself solar panels that have been made accessible to the public whether over the net or in the actual market. The availability of these has also been incorporated with devices wherein you can study and learn the production, planning, and fabrication of electricity derived from raw sunlight. This has already become a new trend as a renewable supply of energy made available to everybody. Now, we can use heat from the rays of the sun and convert it into usable power. With the help of an appropriate device, we can transform this heat to electricity, helping us save about eighty percent off our monthly electric bills.

Though ready-made panels are indeed just as available in the market, the downside to it is their cost. Prices range from $2000 to $3000 as compared to do-it-yourself ones that are priced only at around $200. Surely, at about over a thousand dollars difference, the do-it-yourself solar panels are hands down more preferable, especially when we know that they come with their own do-it-yourself guides nowadays.

These guides teach you the exact steps in an illustrated manner on how you can go about building your own renewable energy system to tap on sunlight for your electricity needs at home. Not only so, you will learn how to do this affordably.

Once you have already installed them on your roof or backyard, you will also have already started generating your very own electricity. Almost everybody has a lot of, or even just enough, free space on the roof or backyard to make room for these power generating devices.

These house areas or locations are the ideal spots to put them on since it is these areas that are usually most open to direct sunlight and one can easily install the solar panels there. For those who happen to have houses that are too small to accommodate or consume all of the excess electricity the do-it-yourself solar panels generate, the “surplus” energy can actually be sold to local utility companies and rechanneled to other households in the neighborhood, thereby generating income for you and your family as well.

http://www.EnergyBrainiac.com – Should You Use Domestic solar panel to Power Your Home and How

Domestic solar panel is fast becoming one of the better choices for alternative source of electricity due to the rising cost of living and environmental concerns. solarmill/panels can be used to effectively supplement the energy needs of homes and help to reduce the reliance on power companies. Here we look at what you need to be mindful of in order to setup domestic solar panel for your home as well as how you can do-it-yourself.

Using domestic solar panel has its benefits and disadvantages. Also, it may or may not be suitable for certain households depending on your locale and weather condition. Using solarmill to generate electricity not only reduces our use of dsolarling fossil fuel, it also helps us save on monthly utility bills and reduce carbon emission which contributes to global warming.

In order for domestic solar panel to be a viable solution to supplement your power needs, a location with enough solar is vital. Do a search on Google for “solar speed” followed by your area or country and you should be able to find a website that provides this information. For US residents, you can try Weather Underground and if you are in UK, you can go for British solar Energy Association website. In general, if you area enjoys solar speed up to 10 miles per hour, it is a good locale.

panels need a span of 5 meters from tip to tip in order to be effective. That means you need a big space to accommodate the system. The longer the solar blades, the more energy and hence electricity it will produce. The optimum space you need is about one acre or more of land. Having said that, modern solarmill also comes in smaller sizes meant to be fitted on the roof.

It will be great if you can totally eliminate the need to stay on grid and rely totally on green energy. However, due to the nature of solar which can be unreliable at times, it is good for you to continue to stay on the grid to buffer for periods when there are no strong solars. Of course, you can use solar power system as a supplement to complement it.

I would like to construct an independent house in Bangalore (Devanahalli) which would use solar powered energy for most of the lighting and electrical requirements.

Besides "go green" want to reduce enormous electricity billings and dismal supply by the governance. Appreciate, valuable suggestions.

Thank you

I’m not sure how many solar panels you’ll need (it depends on the climate, architecture, appliances, etc) but too many "green" designs overlook the power of sunlight as natural light. Instead of solar panels covering the entire roof, you’ll want to have open ‘windows’ on your roof to let in natural light. Many green designs even have entire walls of the house made of glass, to fully utilize the sun’s light.

The south side of the house, atleast in my area, receives the most sun, so having that face of the house opened up with large windows would definitely give you natural sufficient natural lighting during the day, and even some heat during the winter (blinds during the summer will keep the sun away).

Green roofs (roof gardens) help absorb a LOT of heat during the summer. You can also expand the idea of that and make a "living wall."

You also might want to look into geothermal energy and if it’s possible in your area. What is goes is tap into heat energy deep into the earth. I know of houses totally 100% independent of city electric utilities even here in America just by using solar panels and geothermal energy.

In this short video series we will explore the basics of setting up an alternate energy system. What each component does, how it functions and it’s place in an off grid system. Designed specifically for the homesteader or survivalist, this video is designed to help get you started on your road to energy independence!

The system shown runs a house approximately 1,500 sq. feet plus intermittant lighting and tool use on a couple of outbuildings. The house uses LP gas for water heater and cook stove. Everything else except AC is ran off this system.

No matter what your preparing for: nuclear war, terrorism, economic collapse, market crash, food shortages, famine, etc. Having a working Alternate energy system can help greatly around your homestead or survival retreat.

There is one section of this video that has poor lighting, this could not be helped. If your looking for Spielberg cinematography, you came to the wrong place! We know the lighting is bad in that part, no need for immature comments regarding this. If you don’t like, don’t watch!
