                                                                  In a nutshell, Solar Power is energy from the sun that is collected, either mechanically or passively, and used for electricity and/or heat.
                                                                   
                                                                  Advantages of Solar Energy

                                                                  With energy sources being consumed at a rate faster than they are being built, it is well-advised that we use an abundant, and free, energy source – the Sun.

                                                                  Using the energy from the Sun is nothing new – we have used solar power since the beginning of time. It wasn't that long ago when buildings were built to take advantage of the sun and wind for heating and cooling. Read about how we are heading back to the future by building with nature instead of against it – Zero Energy Research Building.

                                                                  In addition to the easy availability, solar energy helps control environmental pollution. It is, also, a renewable resource – meaning that it cannot be depleted.

                                                                  Using a source of power that is free, reduces resource use and is renewable just makes good sense. Solar power can be used to heat, cool and light our homes, as well as, to heat our water and cook our food! For more details read my article "Various Solar Power Options Available for Home Use."

                                                                  Most of us have not considered installing solar power options in our homes, because we think it's too expensive or not something we can do ourselves. You will, however, be surprised to know how easy it is to make use of solar power and how easy it is to build solar panels yourself!

                                                                  Solar will not only help you to reduce your power bills, it will help you in contributing to a positive future for generations to come. Save money, save the planet and make life better for all concerned – what's not to like?
