Produce Your Own Homemade Energy And Cut Your Electricity Bills
Produce Your Own Homemade Energy And Cut Your Electricity Bills
In this era of soaring electricity bills coupled with the ongoing economic crisis, we need to produce our own homemade energy to help us cut our electricity costs. If you live in an area that is naturally windy and receives a lot of sun, you can use a hybrid combination of both wind and solar energy to generate homemade alternative energy. The two systems will complement each other; when the weather is cloudy then you can use your windmill as a backup energy source.
But first you have to evaluate whether or not your home is suitable for wind and solar energy by assessing the solar output and wind speed in your area. Then you have to compute your household's energy consumption to see how many solar panels and windmills you need to buy. Go comparison shopping to get the best deal for your homemade alternative energy system.
When you have all the materials you need, you can put the system together. First install the solar panels on your roof; make sure that the area in which you install them is the one that gets the most sun. Then set up your windmill in an open area where the wind can strike the blades without obstruction. Attach the turbine to the windmill. Hook up the windmill to a generator to transform the wind power into electricity. Don't forget to attach both the solar panels and generator to a storage battery so you can have some energy in reserve (you should have at least two days worth). Then connect the generator and solar panels to your house's electrical system to enjoy your cheaper homemade energy.
