Solar power systems
are one of the most popular initiatives of the ‘green’ revolution. Take a look
at how many ways solar power can be used at our homes.
1)
Charging Batteries through
Solar Energy:
Solar energy can be used top charge batteries. It can be used to power up water
pumps, celling fans and even lighting up lights. Special solar energy battery
chargers are available in the market that can charge your video games, cell
phones and alarm clocks. Solar energy systems acting as reserve
energy banks can also be installed at home, that store sunlight in the day and
power up equipment in the night.
2)
Run your Home with
Solar Power: Whole
houses can be powered with just a few solar system products. People place solar
arrays on their rooftops or on their lawns to capture enough sunlight to power
up their entire homes. Once the sunlight is collected, it is converted to
direct current- the direct current then passes through an inverter and turns
into alternate current that runs in our homes. With the use of safety device,
this current can now be safely used to power up the electronic appliances in
your home.
3)
Solar Power for Cooking: Many people cook with electric stoves and
ovens that can produce a huge electricity bill. Cooking with solar energy can
drastically reduce your cost- what’s more you can easily build one at home.
With just a few basic items like an empty box, aluminum foil, duct tape,
cooking bag, Styrofoam and thermometer, you can easily prepare your cooking
oven.
4) Lighting through Solar Energy: With LED lights you
can have the best sort of lighting with the least energy consumption. LED
lights run on electricity and also has a small back up battery based on solar
cells. In the day, this back up battery can be charged with sunlight; in the
night these batteries get activated and light up the bulbs.
5) Security Lighting through Solar Energy: You can install a
solar powered pole night outside your home to provide security for free. Solar
powered pole lights operate with solar cells and kick in during the night. This
way when you get home from work, you can see your front door lit up and can
easily get out your keys. You will just have to pay initially to install the
solar lights; after that all lighting is free.
