If we must be truthful to ourselves, then we all can concur that we are really facing an energy crisis as a matter of fact.
It makes a whole lot of sense to consider the advantages of solar energy as a source of your electrical energy.
With rising energy prices, dwindling fossil fuel supplies, and environmental and human concerns, all ears are attuned to the solar energy possibilities.
Simply put, that the solar generator is a gadget that runs all your electrical appliances by making use of the solar energy. The gadget transform solar energy into electrical energy by making use of photovoltaic cells. This solar generator is as well called “the solar lighting system”.
But using solar energy to power intrusive government devices and using solar energy to power your house are worlds apart, and the question on everyone’s minds is, “Is solar energy all it’s cracked up to be, and how practical is it to consider using solar energy to power my home?”
Facts about solar energy :
· Solar energy is a renewable resource
(it may go away at night, but we will always have it.)
· Solar energy will not pollute our air with carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases and bad emissions.
Solar energy can be used on different aspects. Solar energy will be used in agriculture. Greenhouses (which is entirely different from greenhouse gas) convert solar light-weight to heat to be maximized in enhancing the growth of plants and crops.
Greenhouses has been around since the Roman times and modern greenhouses were engineered in Europe in sixteenth century. Greenhouses are still an important part of horticulture nowadays,
I can testify now that nearly everybody is searching for ways to go green and more energy efficient. To welcome alternative energy production methods, there are lots of reasons for that.
Also little does some folks understand that by making use of solar power is a big way to enhance the environmentally friendliness of your house and yet lead a modern life with all the conveniences.
You can save a lot of money
Solar power costs about 80% less than your current utility bill. So if your electric bill now runs $150 per month, with solar power your electric bill would only cost $40.
Generating your own power at least pays you an extra $100 every month. And that’s if you pay a modest $150 a month for your utilities – $400 or more is not an uncommon “normal” utility bill…
Can you really afford to not use solar energy in your home?
You want to know the solar energy benefits or maybe the solar energy advantages?

More from http://SolarPanelReporter.com – Will Solar Power My House? Can you reasonbly expect that a solar panel system will deliver enough electricity for your house?
That depends on a few factors. Naturally you will not get electricity from a solar panel at night. And on cloudy and overcast days the system will produce less too. But the peak output of a system is determined by something other than the amount of sunlight…

Solar power is a very good source of power because it is renewable, environmental friendly and free. It would be a very nice idea to have a solar power system at home. However, due to the high setup cost ($2000 or more), not many people would use this system.
I am about to let you in on a little secret that can have you building your own solar panels for home use! By making your own solar power system that will save you thousands!
If you think buying a solar power system is too expensive for you, you can make it yourself with a much lower budget. You will need a solar panel first. You will use solar cells, wood plate, soldering iron, solder, flux, and tabbing to make a panel. These items are easy to get from local stores and you would not need any special tool. Even a novice can make it without problem.Solar panels are the wave of the future! So where do we start? How do you get your hands on the material to start building your own solar panels? Well lets first find out what solar panels are. That way you at least sound educated when you pitch this to your family!
Solar cells are almost always made from silicon, that is the same material we use to make computer chips. Silicon is one of the worlds most common elements, and is a leading component of sand and many kinds of rocks. A solar cell is built in layers, with two layers of silicon separated by a thin layer of insulating material. All three layers work together and convert sunlight into electricity.
When sunlight hits the solar cell, it produces an electric charge. Like a battery, the charge is positive on one side of the cell, and negative on the other side. Connecting a wire to the positive and to the negative side will allow electricity to flow. This flow, or current, can be used to power a small light bulb, turn an electric motor, or recharge a battery.
Broken solar cells can be bought for cheap money, and THEY STILL WORK! That is what I recommend. Of course you will need framing material to mount to the top of your house and two pieces of glass. The rest is pretty simple, hook your panels together, positive to positive and negative to negative, that way you get only 2 wires when you are done.Take these two wires and connect them to your power inverter and connect the power inverter to the electrical grid to your house. These steps seem hard but can be broken up into much simpler and easier steps.
I recommend this site if you want to get more in depth information and a step-by-step process of buying, installing and profiting from solar panels

short video describing a small solar power system that i set up at my house. it consists of twelve 1 amp solar panels (15 watts each for a total of 180 watts of power – per hour). i use it to run all lights (CFL’s), fans, tv’s, and stereos in the house. also the microwave, coffee maker, blender, can opener, sandwich grill, toaster, vacuum, computer and anything else i can think of. run time for lights/fans only is approx 8 hours. add in vacuuming, microwaving or toaster along with lights, tv and the fans and the run time is reduced to 4-5 hours a day. i bought solar panels, inverter (1000 watt) and killowatt meter at Harbor Freight tools, the batteries (deep cycle) from walmart and the battery cables from checker auto. total cost was about $1200 to $1300
