The Reawakening Movement Of Solar Power For Homes

A solar power system is an electronic system that collects the sun's energy and converts it to electricity that we can use

. The idea of solar power for homes is not a new science. The ability to use solar energy to power machines began in the late 1800's, but was not considered relevant because of the seemingly inexhaustible fossil fuels in use at the time, and the fact that there was not an understanding of the damage being done to the environment.

As with other discoveries and inventions, this good idea had many stops and starts as it went through the process of refinement to bring it to the point of viable public use. In America, the OPEC oil embargo of the 1970's saw a great leap in the use of solar energy, and it became many Americans' goals to have solar power for their homes.

At first solar energy systems were large and cumbersome, needing cranes to lift the panels onto roofs. Today, however, there are different sizes and styles of solar panels, and kits available for people to make their own.

Although there have been many changes in the development of using solar energy, the basics haven't changed. Solar panels collect the sun's energy and convert it to electricity, although not yet usable. It is then sent to storage batteries, then the inverter which converts it to usable electricity. The final phase, the one most familiar, it is sent to the circuit breaker where it becomes available to the house.

Solar energy use in people's homes has many benefits. It is not only free to produce, but in many places electric companies will buy the excess electricity produced by a solar power system. Theoretically, while the homeowners are gone on vacation, their home could be earning them money. Energy with no damage to the environment is ideal, and that is what solar energy provides. There are no moving parts to cause noise, unlike common generators; and there is the peace of mind that during a power outage, the homeowner who uses a solar energy system can remain unaffected. As long as the sun remains, its power remains available.

Solar power for homes will be available as long as the sun continues to share its energy with the planet. Only one minute of solar energy could supply enough energy to power the entire world's electrical needs. Solar power could become the primary source of electricity.
