Getting Started:
Renewable Energy & Sustainable
Living
If you are just beginning to
learn about Renewable Energy,
this is the place to start. The resources
provided will give you an
overview of the most important
factors to consider when
choosing a renewable energy
system.
Solar Power - Residential &
Mobile PV
Solar electric power is a great
way to generate your own clean
energy once you've made your
home as efficient as possible.
The resources provided will give you the basic
knowledge needed to help you implement a system in your
location. The wide-range of articles
cover every
aspect of Solar electricity.
Solar Air Heating and Solar
Water Heating
Solar Thermal is another technology
to consider. With thermal
systems, you use
the sun's energy to heat your
home (solar air heating), or
just to heat water (solar water
heating) for washing. Either
way, using thermal energy is an
affordable and efficient way to
make use of the sun's power.
Solar Water Pumping
Solar Water pumping helps people
in remote locations pump
water. It's also a great
solution for farmers to get
water to their livestock and
fields. Here you learn what components
make up a solar water pumping
system and the how to size
components to
get water to where you need it.
Wind Power
Wind Power is another great way
to gather energy from the earth.
At times, however, it is not a
reliable source in many areas. A
good wind location needs very specific characteristics to
produce reliable, consistent
power. These articles discuss
how to determine if your area is a
good choice for this alternative
clean-energy source.
