The Usage Of Solar Energy In Daily Life
Although the application of solar energy in daily life is a superb concept and one
that will surely become a reality eventually, we aren't quite there yet. We're seeing more news and coming across items related to solar energy a lot more constantly, since it seems we're finally waking up to the effects of our addiction to fossil fuels in the world available as carbon emissions and global warming.
So, where do we stand as much as solar energy being a member of our daily life is concerned? There's bad and good news, so let's have a look at both.
First, The good thing
Do you notice that your electricity bill is apparently constantly on the rise? And yet you are not doing anything different from one month to another. It's not like you're buying a new big screen TV every month and leaving it turned on at any hour. So, why is this happening?
The utility companies use fossil fuels to generate electricity for our homes, and, unfortunately, due to our over-reliance on fossil fuels caused by an increase in the amount of household appliances and conveniences and the amount of cars on the highway, the supply of fossil fuels is nearing exhaustion, so having less supply is driving up the price tag on everything derived from fossil fuels, including electricity.
The good thing in this scenario is that it's causing more people to not only become interested in making a change and looking at how they may turn more to using alternative energy, but to take step 2 and actually invest in solar energy and solar-powered devices and gadgets.
Nowadays you never must be without power for your cell phone or MP3 player thanks to solar chargers. Solar radios and warlike talkies can keep you in touch with the outside if you're ever out hiking or find yourself in a remote location, or if you like to avoid using batteries. Speaking of batteries, they could be recharged using solar battery chargers, so you may never need to throw another battery away. Now, that's not only good news - that's great news!
We've only scratched the surface of what's available for use in daily life, and thankfully that the quantity of such solar-powered items will continue to increase as we come to grips with the limitless possibility offered by free solar energy.
Now, the Bad News
Among the hardest things for people to do is to break a habit or leave their comfort zone and try something new. Since solar technology is relatively new, and most people don't understand exactly the ins and outs or the principles behind it, they're reluctant to embrace it and make the leap into laying out hard-earned money on something unknown or that they're uncomfortable with.
The simplest way to rectify this is to educate people and be sure they have all the facts and information they should make what was new and uncomfortable seem familiar and exciting. With the increasing popularity of the internet and the expanding availability of computer technology, too much information online on solar and renewable energy is available online, but people have to find out it's there and desire to find it first.
You can test the waters relatively cheaply by installing solar lighting along your footpaths and driveway. Solar lighting is readily available and easy to install. It lights up our front yard beautifully, so take my word - it works.
The expense of a new solar electric system is hard for several people to understand, both financially and conceptually. While so buying a solar power system is often rather expensive, that is changing. After all, the price of solar panels has come down substantially in the last 5 years and will keep doing so as the technology is still improved.
Ultimately, I believe the usage of solar energy in daily life is increasing fast and will continue to increase as people become better educated on solar and its benefits, both immediate and long-term. There will come a day when you wake up to your solar clock radio, brush your teeth with your solar toothbrush, grab your breakfast from your refrigerator, which runs off your solar electric system, of course, and drive to work in your solar car.
A solar world is coming. And the sooner the better for our future and that of generations to come.
