Getting off the Grid with a Solar + Installation
Written on October 6, 2011 by admin
Public power companies often generate much of their power with coal and other dirty sources of energy which in turn wreak havoc on the landscape, ecosystem, climate, and eventually will spell harm for the very humanity using that power. Yet renewable energy systems such as solar, hydro, and wind are developing in popularity, efficiency, and public esteem. Every house and office that gets off the grid or cuts back on their use of it using a solar installation or another renewable energy solution helps the environment, and the options for doing so have never been better.
Solar power is one of the most popular options for cutting back on public power dependence and has been chosen by thousands. These low space systems can easily be placed on top of structures for minimum impact to your property and as they have no moving parts they typically require very low maintenance. Solar panels collect electrical energy which is inverted and either stored in a battery or fed directly back into the power grid for a discount from the power company, which can continue to supply power to your home or office after the sun goes down.
As far as renewable energy goes for air conditioning, a brand new hydro AC system has recently been developed. In this system, perfect for the southwest where nights are cold and days are hot, water is pumped to the rooftop of the building at night to cool. During the day this cold water flows through the building’s special AC system, using the temperature of the water to keep the building’s temperature down as well. This system is much more efficient than typical AC because it requires no power to heat or cool the water and air. It only needs to move the water, and let the atmosphere do the rest.
By combining these and other systems depending on your needs, you can finally get off the grid completely and start avoiding those enslaving monthly power bills and making an impact for the better on the environment.
