<i>If you are in the process
of, or planning to, design your own home, </i><i>start by looking for land that
has a water source such as a stream or room for wind turbines. Another good idea
is to choose a roof with solar panels built in. You can even position them to
get the most out of sunlight.</i><i>for green energy consumption. If you are building or renovating your home it is a smart idea, in these times of rising energy costs, to consider an
alternative source for your power needs like solar power. If you live in an area
with high sunlight year round, you can install these solar panels on your roof
and supply parts of your home with this free and clean energy from the sun</i><i>. </i></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">
<i>It is important that solar panels, whether you
install them on your roof or anywhere else on your property, must be angled
toward the sun to receive maximum exposure. In the Northern Hemisphere, this
means facing them south with an angle of latitude plus fifteen degrees.
Otherwise, your investment will not return as much energy as you
hope.<br /> </i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">
<i>Think outside of the box. While many people think 'solar' panels when
they think of green energy, there are other ways to take advantage of the sun.
If you are building a new home, consider incorporating passive solar design into
the home. By building with materials such as concrete or adobe and taking
advantage of the sun's natural heat with south-facing windows, you can create a
home that will naturally heat itself in the winter and stay cool in the
summer.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">
<i><br /><br />You can easily get solar panels installed in your home to collect
solar energy for your use. However, before doing this, you need to consider a
few things. The biggest thing to consider is how much sun does your house get on
average? If you're in a shady area or a place that doesn't have many sunny days, obviously
you won't be able to gain as much power.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">

Here is where <a href="http://84acc853tgbs5z6vzcxojmbt8u.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GTST">Power4Home</a> is different from other products. With Power4Home you can put together a complete system for less than $200 and start generating your own power from it. This program is designed by John Russell who is an electrician by profession. Using his experience in the electric related industry, he has tried to make a system that would allow you to make your own energy with minimum amount of equipment and investment. He says that with his system he can teach you everything you need to know about generating your own electricity using wind and solar power.

The <a href="http://84acc853tgbs5z6vzcxojmbt8u.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GTST">Power4Home system</a> includes illustrated manuals that are not difficult to follow. There are also video instructions that you can follow. With this system you learn about 2 alternate renewable energy options: a DIY solar panel and a home windmill generator. After learning both you will be in a better position to decide which option is the best for you and is best according to the climate of where you are living. If you live in an area where there is sufficient sunlight then a solar panel is the better option and if your place has the right conditions for wind energy to work then you can go with the windmill option. <br />

Power4Home is a system that allows you to create and store you own energy. This energy can be used to reduce your power bills. Solar and wind power systems normally cost $3,000 or more and even at that price they pay themselves off within a few years.

But many people didn't realize that another easy to do home project is a <a href="http://84acc853tgbs5z6vzcxojmbt8u.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GTST">diy solar water heater</a>. Did you know that your water heater is one of the biggest energy sucking appliances in your whole house? Think about how much money you can save if you can harness the power of the sun to heat your water instead of having to pay for it. <br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;"><i>First, start by determining what type of water heating system will work best for you, your daily hot water needs, your climate, and your budget. There are actually many styles available so do a little research and find the best type for your needs. </i></b><br />
<br />
After you've chosen the best type of heater for you, the next thing you have to do is get a comprehensive set of plans or a manual that will walk you through the process in a clear step by step manner. These plans and manuals are readily available online. Once you've done your research and bought a good set of plans, take a look at all the materials you'll need as well as familiarize yourself with the steps before you actually get started. <br />
<br />
Decide where you will position your new sun powered water heating system. Of course, the position will depend to a large degree on the style of system you've chosen. If you will be mounting roof solar panels, take into consideration how much room you have on your roof and how many panels you'll be able to mount. You should keep the panels to the back part of the roof since many people don't like the looks of them and you don't want to make your house look unappealing to the neighbors or potential home buyers. <br />
<br />
Using the sun and wind to help provide the energy you need for your home is a growing trend. And why not? It can save money and have less of an impact on the planet, what could be better? If you really want to save money you can take the concept one step further and easily build your own <a href="http://84acc853tgbs5z6vzcxojmbt8u.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GTST">diy solar water heater system</a>. It won't cost you much money but can save you boatloads over the life of the system. <br />

It's not that hard and you don't have to be an engineer. Just find a good manual online (or off) that will explain the process step by step. <br />
<br />
Before you run out and buy a manual though there are some things you'll want to consider. For one thing, don't think that one home sized turbine will meet all the electrical needs of your home. It won't. In order to get all your electrical needs met you'll need several turbines, at least. <br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: yellow; color: red;"><i><b>Another thing to keep in mind is your location. Some places just seem to get more wind than others. If you live in an area that either isn't very windy or if your particular house is blocked by a lot of trees or tall buildings you may want to reconsider. </b></i></div><br />
Most homeowners will mount their turbine on the roof. This makes a great place since it's out of the way and it's usually wide open and doesn't have things blocking the wind. If your roof isn't right you can also mount your turbine on a sturdy pole (think small tower) in your backyard. <br />
<br />
<div style="color: red;"><i>Buying a turbine will cost you thousands of dollars but making your own can usually</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; text-align: center;"><i><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TaxDuitA-cc/TGfuJo5gMuI/AAAAAAAAAE0/apHBfEvaJW4/s1600/windBook.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TaxDuitA-cc/TGfuJo5gMuI/AAAAAAAAAE0/apHBfEvaJW4/s320/windBook.gif" /></a></i></div><div style="color: red;"><i>be done for a few hundred. The supplies you'll need can be found in any home improvement or hardware store. The whole project will take anywhere from a day or two over the weekend to several days depending on your abilities as well as how long you can spend on the project each day. </i></div><br />
Building the turbine can be a great family project. It can allow all of you to work together on something that can help you save money as well as help lessen your impact on the planet. That can be a great lesson to teach your kids. You can teach them to be frugal and environmentally friendly at the same time! You can also teach them that those two traits can actually be fun. <br />
<br />
If you think that you'd like to build your own <a href="http://84acc853tgbs5z6vzcxojmbt8u.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GTST">homemade wind turbine</a> now is the time. There are many places where you can find a great manual or kit that can walk you through the process, and that is where you should start.<br />

Here is a rundown on the process:</i><br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;">1.</b> Cut two 4"x3" squares of copper flashing with tin snips or metal shears. Wash the copper thoroughly to remove any dirt or oil deposits. Take some fine grained sandpaper and rub one piece of copper on both sides until it has a bright sheen. <br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;">2.</b> Put that piece of copper aside and take the other piece and lay it across one of the electric burners of your stove. Turn the burner to high and leave the copper piece on the burner until the top of the piece has a thick layer of material on it. This layer is called cupric oxidization and it will take 30 to 60 minutes to form. Turn the burner off and let the piece of copper cool. <br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;">3. </b>Wash the piece of copper gently under running water. This will remove a lot of the cupric oxide particles. Don't scrub or bend the copper since that can damage the bottom layer of cuprous oxide, which you want to stay intact.<br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;">4.</b> Gently bend both pieces of copper so they fit inside a jar, touching the jar sides. You want to keep the pieces of copper from touching one another. Keep the side with the cuprous oxide facing inwards. <br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;">5.</b> Clip an alligator lead to the top of each piece of copper. Connect the lead to the negative terminal of the ammeter and then to the cuprous oxide copper piece. Connect the lead from the clean piece of copper to the positive terminal of the ammeter. <br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;">6. </b>Add enough hot tap water to the jar so only one inch of the copper plates and the leads are above the water level. Mix in 2 tablespoons of salt, stir thoroughly until the salt dissolves. Don't get the leads wet. <br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;">7.</b> Put the jar in a window or anywhere you can a constant source of bright light. You can register the amount of light your cell receives by watching the readings on the ammeter. Place your hand between the jar and the light source and you can see what that does to the output. <br />
<br />
This is a fun experiment to do but please don't think that your <a href="http://84acc853tgbs5z6vzcxojmbt8u.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GTST">homemade solar cells</a> are going to power your t.v. You will need much more sophisticated cells to provide you with that kind of power.<br />

Once you've decided that installing solar panels is the right choice for you, and you've gotten your manual or kit, it's time to decide how many panels you're going to install. Remember, the more panels you have the more electricity you'll generate (and the less money you'll have to pay to your local utility company). You'll need to keep in mind where you want to put the panels. Most people put them on their roof and as long as your roof gets full sun this is a great option. The amount of space you have as well as your budget will determine how many panels you'll need. <br />

<div style="background-color: yellow; color: red;"><i><b>While you probably won't generate enough electricity to get off the grid, you'll be able to save a lot on your utility bills. If you are in a position where you can generate a lot of electricity you can actually sell it back to the utility company and have them pay you for a change!</b></i></div><br />
