5 Reasons to Use Home Solar Power Systems

Certainly there are more than 5 reasons to use home solar power systems, but I will give 5 good ones!


1. Save the Planet: It is no secret that we are destroying the planet with the byproducts of fossil fuel. We are also using fuel that we DO NOT have an abundance of. Using alternative means of energy is something that we are going to have to do. And I do not think that we want to be know as the generation that ruined the planet!

2. Saves Money: Help the environment and put some extra money in your pocket. Well you will have to agree that is a nobrainer! Who doesn’t want to have more money at the end of the day.

3. Pays for Itself:  A lot of variables here, but a home solar power system WILL eventually pay for itself. Depending on the system, you could be getting rebates, tax breaks, an increase in the value of your home, and a big savings on your energy bill.

4. Many Different Applications: There are many things that you can do with home solar power systems. They can be used for a simple task such as cooking. A lot of people use it for heating. And obviously you can make and store your own electricity. You can use it totally or just for small applications, such as powering a workshop.

5. Can Build it Yourself: You can build home solar power systems for under $200.00.  Michael Harvey has put together a program to show you step by step how to do it and even where to find the parts you need at very reasonable costs. His web site is: Earth4Energy. You will probably not make enough power to eliminate your electric bill, but you could save up to 80%. Or you could choose to have a professional system installed. The installer can provide you information on your savings, payback time, selling power back to the power company, and the value that it will add to your home.
Home solar power systems have been around for a long time. They are a lot more sophisticated than they were years ago. Some systems blend in to your roof and are hardly noticeable. It may be time for you to take another look at solar powered solutions!
