You’ve probably heard all about solar power and how great it is. Maybe you are even tired of hearing about it. But you probably don’t know about sun rings yet. Imagine, small rings that hook and cover the entire surface of your garden pool.
These rings sit on the surface all day, transferring heat from the sun to the water below. Both are safe and inexpensive. You can’t get caught under them, they disengage if they touch.
You can even get a solar powered charger for small electronics like laptops and cell phones. If you have one of these, you won’t have to worry about making sure there’s an outlet to plug it in and charge it. Believe it or not, you can even find some laptop cases with photovoltaic cells that can charge your computer while it’s inside the case.
If you are a homeowner, you really should sign up for a solar powered attic fan. This little beauty only needs a solar panel, and yet it’s super effective. The fan cools the attic, which in turn cools the entire house.
An attic fan will help make your air conditioner more efficient. Your air conditioner won’t waste energy cooling the attic because it will already be cool. Of course, this means that your electricity bill will be significantly reduced.
Solar home systems are simply efficient and inexpensive. You can do almost anything with photovoltaic cells.
It costs more up front to set up your home with solar power. You have to renew your electrical system, but you will recover the cost in less than ten years. After that, everything is pure savings.
Some people object to panels because they think they’re ugly or worry that the mounts might cause roof leaks. You do not have to reject solar energy if you share this opinion. They now have special singles that are designed to look like your ceiling. They are still just as effective, but go unnoticed.
