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.
