Subject: 10 Reasons Why You Should Go Solar Today

Solar Energy.....you heard about it, however have you ever considered putting it to use in your own house?

There is really no excuse to not to think about the reasons to start going for it!

Here are Ten Best Reasons For Going Solar Today:


1. Non-renewable sources of energy are fast running out,
becoming more and more expensive to find and distribute,
and most produce lasting negative effects on the health of
the planet. Think Fracking and all the problems that causes.

The burning of fossil fuels may be contributing to global
warming, but increasingly the cost is felt firstly in your
utility charges.

It won't matter if energy comes from coal, gas or nuclear
energy plants.

The cost will keep on rising.

2. Solar power is available in just about every location
where the sun shines, and it will last for as far into the
future as you can imagine.

3. Access to sunlight is free, and increasingly technology
makes it easier to convert into the electricity needed for
domestic and commercial use.

Better photovoltaic cells are more efficient and batteries
cheaper and more effective at storage.

4. As a renewable source of energy, solar power has less
effect on the landscape than other forms, such as wind
power.

Gone are the need for large towers and the associated
noise of giant windmills.

5. In addition to the above, the average home can easily
be converted to solar power as part of retrofitting or
roof replacement.

No special structural strengthening or electrical wiring
is needed to use this form of power.

You will need a flat pad for the battery housing, but the
space it takes up is only a few square feet.

The solar panels are light and easily reparable by even an
average DIY enthusiast.

6. The only downside is the potential hazards in disposing
of the batteries, but in contrast with other power
generation methods, the maintenance and servicing costs
once installed are minimal.

7. You can build your own solar power system!

Check online for some of the options, and you will be
surprised at how simple and economical these will be to
construct.

This will mean you can reduce your utility bill and take a
little control over your own destiny! In a blackout or
energy shortage, you'll be much better off with a home
solar energy system.

The best thing about solar power is that as more and more
domestic users seek out this option, the price of systems
continues to fall!

They are also becoming more and more efficient and easier
to install and maintain.

8. This source of electrical generation has been around
for decades and is tried and true in environments as harsh
as space itself!

Remarkably, small-scale units even work in the harshest
climates, coming to life in summers to provide power for
fire monitoring in wilderness locations as well as
surveying at the earth's poles.

9. Yes, you need the sun to shine for solar energy to
work. But even on semi-cloudy days enough power can be
generated for the average home demands in most locations
and seasons.

Because they are relatively lightweight, solar panels can
be used by remote locations because transportation of the
materials is relatively cheap and simple.

Just find a location facing the sun!

10. Solar power is clean energy with no pollutants or
environmental effect during operation.

No need for dams, noisy and unsightly windmills or pipes
crossing the land - all of which are required by
geothermal power plants.

Solar power is the energy source for the future, not just
for the above reasons, but because its cost will never
increase.
