Are you trying to save electricity in your home? There are numerous ways to save electricity in your home that you may not know about. The typical money saving tips and tricks can help to cut down on the utility bill, but is it enough to make a significant difference? Solar energy may be the answer to your problems. Solar energy is trending because of it's numerous benefits to the planet and to your wallet. Over one million homes and businesses in the US have made the switch to solar. Here are three solar products for saving electricity in your home.
Did you know that the average cost to heat a pool is well over a thousand dollars each year? There is a way to supplement this cost with the simple installation of solar panels to get the job done. With a solar heating system for your pool, you have zero operating costs, maintenance free heating, and clean power that won't harm the environment. As long as the sun is out and your pump is running, your pool will be heated and ready for a swim.
Solar cells can convert sunlight into direct current electricity through a photovoltaic system. Once you have your solar panels installed, electrons from the sunlight are absorbed and then freed by semiconductors to create electricity. Flowing toward an inverter, this new electricity then becomes an alternating current (AC). AC electricity can be then used in your household. Choosing this way to power your home is good for the environment because there are no greenhouse gases or pollution emitted. Having this system qualifies you for the Renewable Energy Federal Tax Credit.
Water heating makes up a large chunk of your monthly electric bill. Shrink your bill with solar water heating. The process is simple; the water runs through heated solar panels and is then ready for use. The system will pay for itself within three to five years. You can even qualify for the Renewable Energy Federal Tax Credit and local utility rebates. Traditional water heaters can emit around two tons of CO2 back into the atmosphere. With a solar water heater, you are using clean power to heat the water you use everyday.
