Solar Energy and Alternative Energy Sources
This website is presented as a site where you can obtain information about energy devices powered both directly and indirectly by the sun, creating solar energy to power entire households, including television sets, computers, refridgeraters, lighting, cooking, and everywhere else electricity is used. This site includes solar panels and power generated by the wind.
You can purchase complete solar systems and wind generators from the provided links.
I think solar energy and wind energy production is fantastic. For less than $10.00 you can purchase a solar powered hand calculator that will last at least ten years. This brings the cost down to less than one dollar a year. The solar systems may seem expensive at first, but they may last as much as twenty years. This will eliminate paying for the ever rising cost of electricity supplied by the power companies.
There are many weather related reasons to prepare for a loss of electricity when power lines go down. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes as well as snowstorms can bring power lines down. In these conditions everyone affected needs a reliable flashlight, solar systems which can be quickly and easily set up to provide electricity to receive emergency broadcasts on radios and television sets, and solar ovens which can provide hot meals and even purify water by boiling it, all at no cost.
While solar energy can provide for all the above mentioned circumstances, it can also provide energy for camping trips and for people who choose to live and/or retire in rural and/or isolated areas which are inaccessible to power lines.
Solar panels can be portable or stationary. The portable models can provide power for radios, televisions and computers during a camping trip or when not close to a power line for whatever the reason. Stationary models can supply entire households with all the electricity they require.
The solar system can consist of a combination of solar panels and /or a wind generator to power a bank of batteries,then, to power an electrical inverter, and finally to supply alternating current to power anything you want.
The wind generated energy will be balanced with the solar energy production to provide a smooth, reliable and continuous supply of electricity, both for people living off the energy grid because of inaccessibility, for recreational purposes, and for emergency purposes such as after a major emergency, like a storm.
