In the recent past, there has long been a growing requirement for solar energy through solar panel installation in houses due to its environmental and cost-effective benefits. The solar panels are created of photovoltaic cells that turn sun energy into electric power applied for heating needs or to power electrical devices. The electricity created is directly carried to the electrical home appliances or simply gets stored within a battery for...more
Heating bills are soaring up in every area of the country and the trend will carry on simply because of World energy demands. The average US household expense on energy bills is approximated at 6% of the income in 2005, compared to 4% in 2003. Owners of efficient new houses spend considerably much less than the people living in old houses. Financial burden because of elevated energy expenses could be decreased by weatherizing and conserving.Your house can be energy deficient in plumbing, insulation or heating. In many old houses, the biggest problem is not the cold air received from windows but the air filtration from the basement due to floor joists and the structures supporting the floor. In an average American home, 50%-70% of the energy used goes to heating and cooling. If your house is constructed prior to 1980, it may no have adequate insulation. While most owners focus on attic insulation, they should not disregard the basement ceiling. Fiber glass isn't a good insulation material as air flows directly through it. Use spray foam or cellulose as an insulation material for proper insulation.Caulk and weather-strip all doors and windows that leak air. Search for all plumbing,...more

Have you ever been informed about the pollution problems we suffer from? Do you know that our non-renewable sources of energy will run out one day? Do not you think to opt for homemade green energy? Read more to find out the benefits behind this concept.What do you define under the term green energy?Green energy refers to the energy generated by natural and renewable sources like water, wind, sun light, etc. The term green is used to indicate that this energy is a good a friend of the environment and it keeps all green areas green. This is indeed one of the best benefits behind making your own solar panels.Here are a few sources considered as green energy:* Geothermal power* Small scale Hydropower* Solar Energy* Biomass power* Tidal energy* Wave power* Wind powerDo we have any other sources?There are other sources like anaerobic digestion and incineration of waste that are also considered to be green sources. Some companies even claim that nuclear energy is green, but unless a safe way of disposing the waste material from that energy source is invented, we cannot include that in the list.Where can green energy be used?Thanks to the idea of making your own solar panels, you do not...more
