			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Energy is needed to perform any activity in this world. Energy is the driving force which is required for sustain life on this planet earth. All forms of energy are bounded by laws of physics and obey certain basic principles which help us to convert one form of energy from any source into another form of energy which is useful for us.<br />
<span id="more-133"></span><br />
Everybody is surrounded by energy it is only how this energy can be tapped and used for betterment of humans can determine the outcome of the very existence of the human race. Though according to basic principle of physics energy could neither be created nor destroyed, the source of this energy could be depleted. Based on this criteria energy is classified into renewable source of energy and non renewable source of energy.</p>
<p>Renewable source of energy is defined by the scientific community as the source of energy which can be replaced or the source of energy which even upon continuous use cannot be depleted. Whereas non renewable source of energy is defined as the source of energy which cannot be replaced and will be depleted in due course of time if used continuously. Examples for renewable energy are the solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, and nuclear power. The non renewable sources include coal, petrol and petroleum products, natural gases.</p>
<p>Today’s energy source is mainly from non renewable source, they have been used continuously since man discovered modern machinery. The energy sources are becoming depleted at a rapid rate and the human kind is staring a deep energy crisis in the near future. Many researches are conducting various experiments on how to tap on the abundant renewable source of energy. </p>
<p>The success in this field can be seen as man able to tap solar energy and modern day uses of wind turbines and nuclear power plants, though hydro electricity is been used in many parts of world it cannot be permanently relied upon making it somewhat unreliable if we are thinking about a source of energy for the future.</p>
<p>On conclusion it is safe to say that mankind will find a way to tap into the vast renewable source of energy for all future energy needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="cheap solar power" src="http://www.green-energyonline.com/images/solar-power-grants1.jpg" class="alignleft" width="250" height="250" hspace="5"/>Nature has blessed mankind with everything he needs. Nature has given us energy sources in the form of renewable energy and non renewable energy sources. A non renewable energy source is something which cannot be replenished once it is exhausted this includes, petroleum products, natural gases, coal and wood. </p>
<p>On the other hand a renewable energy source is something which cannot be exhausted as this is surplus and is replenished. With today’s energy requirements increasing every minute and our sources of non renewable sources dwindling at a very rapid rate, it is only natural for us to look at finding better energy sources that can supply our needs; one of those renewable energy sources is <strong>cheap solar power</strong>.<br />
<span id="more-131"></span><br />
The method of converting solar power into energy is pretty straight forward, according to law of physics one form of energy can be converted into other form, here the heat energy and light energy is trapped converted into DC current which is later converted into AC current which is used in everyday life.</p>
<p>The sun is an abundant source of power. It continuously supplies us with energy in the form of heat and light; this energy can be easily converted and utilized by humans <strong><a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">making cheap solar power</a></strong> very attractive. </p>
<p>Solar energy might potentially be the next primary source of energy driving the entire mankind as there is abundance to be harnessed; it is free of cost and most importantly safe compared to atomic energy. Solar energy is also eco friendly by eliminating pollution.</p>
<p>Uses of cheap solar power: Solar energy can be used in any situation which requires heating or electric current. It can be classified into various groups like residential solar power systems, solar heating systems and others.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">Residential solar power systems</a> mainly consist of solar panels which are placed on the house tops and can be used for such things as heat the water. This is very useful and reduces the electricity bill by 50%. The same solar panels also can be used to generate a 12o watt electric power which is usually enough to run most electric appliances.</p>
<p>To learn more about residential solar power systems and how to install diy solar panels I highly recommend you check out the plans available on <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">earth4energy</a>. This site has many great plans for the do it yourselfer <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">making cheap solar power possible </a>even for the budget conscious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wind power is the forerunner amongst the alternate sources of energy that has drawn human curiosity. Wind power is not a new concept it is an age old idea which has been experimented and perfected by our ancestors. The wind mill is the proof of how wind energy can be utilized to solve various problems.<br />
<span id="more-129"></span><br />
The use of wind power to transmit water from one place to another place as used in Poland is the perfect example to the ingenuity of human mind in using the wild wind to serve his purpose. Using w<strong>ind power for homes</strong> is now a project that many people are looking into in order to save money on electricity.</p>
<p>The power behind wind is derived by kinetic (motion) energy. This kinetic energy is converted into either mechanical energy as seen in wind mills or it is converted into electrical energy that can be utilized for home purposes. This conversion of energy is the basis of using <strong>wind power for homes</strong>. </p>
<p>The huge turbines will turn due to the force of the wind this in turn rotates the turbines within the magnetic field resulting in production of electricity, this form of electricity is Direct current (DC current) this is converted into AC current and is then sent to the home. This is the same principle which is used in for production of electricity using hydro power, steam power but with wind power there is always an added advantage. </p>
<p>Wind power is free of cost and is renewable, it is reliable and sustainable the biggest plus point is it is free of any toxicity which is killing our planet every day. This alone merits the use of wind energy over other source of energy. </p>
<p>Tackling a <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">wind power for home project</a> requires a few considerations and there are many great cheap wind power home projects available. I highly recommend <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">earth4 energy</a> as these folks have designed many <strong>diy alternative home energy projects</strong> that are costs effective and a great way to take advantage and start using wind power for home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="solar power for home" src="http://www.green-energyonline.com/images/solarpanels.jpg" class="alignleft" width="250" height="167" hspace="5"/>Solar power has become a favorite for many people when it comes to choosing an alternate power source, the reason being the rising cost of electricity and depletion of other renewable source of energy. <strong>Solar power for home </strong>not only saves you money by cutting the cost of the electric bill but also gives you satisfaction as it contributes in reducing the harmful effects on the environment in which we live.<br />
<span id="more-126"></span><br />
Solar energy utilizes the heat and light emitted by the sun and is converted into usable energy like electricity. Solar power is abundant and is renewable; it is constant and can be confidently depended upon to be a continuous source of energy. It can be tapped free of cost and is available all over the world, making it the ideal source of energy.</p>
<p>To get <strong>solar power for home</strong> the main thing you are going to need are solar panels, this is the equipment which can convert the heat and light energy so that it can be used in the home. The type of solar power for home will be clearly based on a family budget and if one can afford a large budget then they can invest in a solar energy system that can provide sufficient power to meet the entire homes energy requirements. </p>
<p>However solar power for home is still possible for those on a shoe string budget, you just need to be creative in your solar power project. A great resource for this can be found on earth4 energy’s website. They have many plans and ideas on how to make a solar power home for cheap.</p>
<p>A whole new concept has evolved in the recent days called <strong>passive solar heating</strong>. This involves tapping into solar energy without installing any type of solar equipments; this can be achieved by building the house in a way that can trap the abundant energy of sun. </p>
<p>The right building plan of these types of house involves right window placement to let in as much as sun light and also special type of tiles. This can be done while building the house or if the house is already built then a bit of remodeling should do the trick.</p>
<p>For most of us however, the idea of re locating windows and doors, is a huge remodeling project and so for most people planning a diy solar panel project is much more feasible. It’s best to research and review the project you wish to tackle beforehand and <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">earth4energy</a> has many <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">great solar power project ideas</a> for the budget conscious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="advantages of wind power" src="http://www.green-energyonline.com/images/windmill.jpg" class="alignleft" width="160" height="170" hspace="5"/>With global energy demand on the rise people have started to turn towards alternate sources of energy. Wind energy is among one of the prime energy sources that are being considered as the next source of energy for humans. <strong>The advantages of wind power</strong> are hotly debated but amongst various classes of people they think that the advantages of wind power far outweigh any negative aspects. However as with any new development there are always concern about the cost, limit and dependency of wind power.<br />
<span id="more-121"></span><br />
If one would like to start with the <strong>advantages of wind power</strong> then the opening statement would be it is renewable meaning it is something that can be used again and again without the fear of running out of wind. With the right technology wind power can be harnessed at a very low cost and can be utilized to various purposes. The other advantage of wind power is that it is eco friendly meaning no waste that might harm our eco system. </p>
<p>Wind power is clean and safe and harnessing the power of wind is nothing new to humans it has been used since medieval times in the form of wind mills, with the latest wind turbines the efficiency is increased almost by 90% in comparison to wind mills. Harnessing wind power has become the centre of many researchers project and we can soon expect a major breakthrough which is going to make wind power a major energy source. </p>
<p><strong>The other advantages of wind power </strong>are low total cost. The critics are skeptical about the initial installation cost however if the overall cost of is considered which includes maintenance, repair and other miscellaneous cost then the one can easily observe that harnessing wind power is very cheap compared to any other source of energy including that of solar.</p>
<p>Wind energy also has some flaws which is making it difficult to harness to its full potential. Primarily it depends on the climate and speed, so installation of turbines must be in open ground where the wind can be harnessed with the most effectiveness, but with the new and improved wind turbines it is only a matter of days where wind power will become a cheap source of energy for everyone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.green-energyonline.com/thumbs/solar-heating.gif" alt="solar power projects" align="left" hspace="5"/>Recently I received another email question from a visitor inquiring about the best cost effective solution for solar power projects like solar heating. Many people these days are interested in learning and developing solar power for homes, but <strong>solar power projects like solar heating </strong>should really be the second step you take in finding ways to save money on electricity. Let’s take a look at this here’s the viewers question.<br />
<span id="more-117"></span><br />
<em>“I too am looking at starting a solar power project for my home however I have limited resources. Most of us are, I suspect. I too am working with solar with limited resources. Most of us are, I suspect. It seems that the most effective place to start is not with electricity production, but with the task of heating water.  Low tech solutions and salvaged components can be put together with traditional plumbing and carpentry skills to save substantially on energy costs. Heating water is a large expense for most households- in mine it has always been more than the electric bill, and with a modest investment in the hundreds of dollars and some work on my part I will make my money back within the year, easily. However I wanted to get your opinion before starting a solar power project such as this.”</em></p>
<p>Ok first excellent question. Many people when they think about jumping into solar power for homes, immediately think that the best solution is just like this reader thinks and that is to start with solar heating. Yes this is a great way to save money on electricity but it’s not the first biggest and fastest payback for your buck.</p>
<p>The biggest and fastest payback for your buck is in energy efficiency. Otherwise, you'll go broke trying to put enough diy solar panels on a lossy house to keep up with demand.  So, super insulate and seal first, then make sure you have good windows, doors and frames. Then consider making your existing structure as passive solar as possible, including greenscape on the south and west sides.</p>
<p>Once that is done, then yes move on to your solar hot water project, as that will be the next fastest payback for your buck. A good resource I highly recommend when starting a solar power project is from <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">earth4 energy</a>. This is a great site once you are ready for diy solar projects like <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy">solar water heating </a>and others. But the first step is to take care of energy losses first then look at tackling other projects. No sense chucking good money into a drafty energy sucking home, as you will never see a return on your investment. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I received an email from one of our online visitors about how they can <strong>save money on electricity</strong>. They were frustrated at the ongoing rising costs of their electricity and how they are trying to be energy conscious but just can’t seem to lower the electricity bill. So I thought I would answer that question in today’s article. Here is just a snippet taken from their question.</p>
<p><em>“I have gone through my home &#038; unplugged everything that is not in use.  I have my thermostat on a programmable thermostat and my power bill is still climbing.. I am so frustrated what more can I do? Please help... I live in a double wide mobile home and can't understand this.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Well here are a few ways to save electricity that hopefully will help your situation. </strong><br />
<span id="more-110"></span><br />
First shut off or unplug everything in your home.  Then look at your meter, it should be stopped, if not shut off each circuit breaker until it does stop. By doing this you learn what is connected to what circuit and it helps to identify any power sucking culprits. If everything is off or disconnected and you are still drawing current then there is a good chance there is a short circuit to the ground somewhere that is bleeding the current off, call an electrician to fix the problem ASAP.</p>
<p>Secondly, you need to find the power hungry culprits. Culprits are everywhere including (all in the "off" or unused state) electronics stacks, garage door operators, automated switches and receptacles, GFI receptacles, phones systems, intercoms, furnaces, water heaters, microwaves, toasters (if they have a display), computers, routers, cable boxes and more. I would suggest shutting everything in the house off and then looking at your meter. I would bet that you'll still see significant usage. It might not seem like a lot, but remember it's 24/7. A 10-watt doorbell transformer uses about as much as burning 1,000 watts of lights for 15 minutes. We've seen unused electronics stacks (home entertainment) at almost 300 watts.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RGF29Q?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=badcreandcrer-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000RGF29Q"><img src="http://www.green-energyonline.com/images/kill_a_watt.jpg" alt="kill a watt" border="0" align="left" hspace="5"/></a>The best way to do this is to use a small plug-in device called a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RGF29Q?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=badcreandcrer-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000RGF29Q">Kill-A-Watt.</a>  These cost around twenty dollars for the basic model, although I prefer the advanced model and these will let you see the energy usage.  It is like a meter for each outlet.  You plug this into the outlet and then plug the appliance into the kill-a-watt. These devices are great for helping you find where your power hungry devices are. Remember just because the device is “off” doesn’t mean that it is not drawing power. </p>
<p>This should get you started and hopefully this will begin to help your situation. There are still many more ways you can save money on electricity so check out the other articles on this site and you’ll soon find you will be well on your way to finding ways to save electricity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone these days feels the pinch. Everywhere we turn things are either getting tougher or more expensive. Energy costs are rising, pay cuts run rampant and the economy seems to be on a teeter totter. But despite all this there are still many to put money back in our pockets. One of the easiest ways to do that is to save money on electricity. Up to 40% of our energy costs is used in heating our homes, of the remaining 60% over half of that is used in electricity. </p>
<p>But before you run out and go buy the latest and greatest in energy saving gizmos and energy efficient appliances here are some low cost ways to save money on electricity.<br />
<span id="more-75"></span><br />
<strong>7 Low Cost Ways to Save Electricity and Put Money in Your Pocket.</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Proper Insulation</strong>- Having proper insulation helps to hold heat “in” during the winter and prevent heat from “entering” during the summer. As easy as that is to say it actually is much more cost effective to upgrade your insulation then buying several energy efficient appliances.  Plus it has the most immediate result by directly saving you money on your next heating bill.</p>
<p><strong>2. Programmable Thermostat </strong>– Installing a programmable thermostat in your home can save you up to 20% of your heating costs. Try and find ones that have multiple day settings and can also adjust to the changes in outside temperatures and not just the temperature inside. There are many great models available and when you consider the low cost vs. the savings these bring it’s easy to see why getting one of these can make a big difference.</p>
<p><strong>3. Ceiling Fans</strong> – The thing about ceiling fans is that moving air feels colder. This enables you to allow for high thermostat settings in the summer. Most models now run quite efficiently and they can save you money by cutting down on your AC. </p>
<p><strong>4. Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL's)</strong> - CFL's use up to 75% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer. Yes they cost more then regular bulbs but when you figure in their long life and low energy costs, in the long run they will save you more money. Check with your local utility as many offer "Conservation Kits", which often contain among other things, two CFL's. </p>
<p>Hot water in your home is the third-biggest energy sucker and typically accounts for 14%-20% of your energy bill. Here are a few more low cost solutions to help save money on electricity.</p>
<p><strong>5. Hot Water Jackets:</strong> Hot water tank jackets are nothing more then nice warm cozy blankets for your hot water tank. Ok not exactly but that’s how I like to think of them. They are very cheap; easy to get and can really cut down on how often your hot water tank turns on and off saving you money. Also insulate the first 3 feet of your pipe near the tank – both hot and cold – to reduce even more heat loss. This could end up saving you up to 3% on water heating costs.</p>
<p><strong>6. Aerating, low-flow faucets and showerheads.</strong>  If you install low flow showerheads and faucets it not only helps to lower your overall energy bill but it also helps to cut down on wasted water usage. When you consider that most low flow Shower heads start at less then $20 there really is no excuse not to have one.</p>
<p><strong>7. Stop Standby Power Loss.</strong> Many electric devices such as printers, scanners, modems, televisions, set-top cable boxes and DVD players use power in standby mode. A<br />
plugged-in power adapter draws at least one watt of electricity at any time and a high-definition television can pull more than 10 watts of electricity even when it is not turned on, with set-top cable boxes drawing twice that amount (20 watts). Unplug such devices when they are not being used or plug them into a power bar that can be easily turned off at the end of the day and when you are away on vacation. The same is true for computers. Turn off your computer when not in use. Most computer electricity waste occurs when computers are left on at night, on weekends and during extended periods of inactivity during the day.</p>
<p>There you have it <em>7 low costs easy ways to save electricity </em>and cut down on your energy bills. Saving money on electricity doesn’t have to mean replacing all your appliances in the home with better energy star rating ones. Many people can start by just implementing a few of these low cost solutions and start saving money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.green-energyonline.com/images/solar-power-grants1.jpg" alt="solar power grants home project" border="0" align="left" hspace="5"/>If you are like most people the idea of converting over to solar energy seems like a great idea, but your bubble is soon busted when you discover the incredible costs associated with residential solar power systems. Suddenly, the dream of lowering your electricity bill through renewable energy costs seems more then its worth. This is where <strong>solar power grants </strong>can come in handy. The <em>solar power grant </em>can help offset your initial installation costs and for many people makes this dream a reality. </p>
<p>But before you run over to your local government office to grab all that government cash that seems to be handing out to everyone these days, there are 4 steps that you need consider beforehand.<br />
<span id="more-71"></span><br />
<strong>Step1 </strong><br />
You need to decide on what type of solar power system you want in the first place. There are two main types of residential solar power systems; a solar water heating system and photoelectric. A solar water heating system is one that is designed to you guessed it, heat the water in your home. A photoelectric system is one that is built around providing for your complete energy needs. Knowing which one you want will dictate which grants you can apply for.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong><br />
Set your budget for your solar power project. You just can’t walk into the grant office and demand some government cash. You need to have your ducks all lined up in a row. Meaning, do your homework and have an estimate as to the overall cost of the solar project that you wish to tackle. </p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong><br />
Find where to obtain all the grants available. Many people do not realize that often <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/solarpowergrants" rel="nofollow">solar power grants</a> can be obtained from many levels of government and yes even perhaps from your local government. Of course each locale is different, and depends on where you live. So look around. I have found this resource as an excellent tool for finding where to obtain <a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/solarpowergrants" rel="nofollow">solar power grants</a>. Check it out; it’s a great renewable energy resource and one that can definitely help lower your costs in tackling a project like this.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4</strong><br />
Know the details in your solar power grant. Each grant is set up differently some will provide you with start up cash and others pay out once your residential solar power system is completed. Others will pay in installments depending on the completion progress. Basically read the grant and understand the terms and conditions involved. Does all this mean that in following these 4 steps that you are guaranteed a grant? Of course not, but it may help if you do qualify for one.</p>
<p>There you have it, <em>4 easy steps to consider when apply for solar power grants</em>. <strong>To summarize.</strong></p>
<p>1. <strong>Decide on which solar power system you want.</strong><br />
2. <strong>Do your homework and get an idea as to the overall cost.</strong><br />
3. <strong><a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/solarpowergrants" rel="nofollow">Find all the available solar power grants </a>you can apply for</strong><br />
4. <strong>Read the terms for each grant enjoy your brand new residential solar power system.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.green-energyonline.com/images/home-solar-paenls.jpg" alt="solar panels" border=0 align=left hspace=5/>Everyday here at I get asked a lot of questions about solar power. Things like what is the most cost effective way to make your solar panels? How many solar panels will my house need? Etc. That is why today I wanted to look at answering the question is Solar Power for you?</p>
<p>First, we need to ask ourselves the question, is the roof on my house suitable for solar power? A good roof is one that has a southern facing slope and gets a good amount of sun between the hours of 9Am to 3Pm. Once you know that you have a roof capable for sustaining this kind of renewable energy then you should spend some time researching into the best method and system that is right for you.<br />
<span id="more-34"></span><br />
<a href="http://www.green-energyonline.com/jump.php?m=earth4energy" rel="nofollow">Earth4Energy</a> is a great site that not only educates the consumer into how to install their own solar panels they also you how you can go about it in the most cost effective way. They also have excellent plans and designs for supplementing your solar power system with wind power but that's another article for another day.</p>
<p>Next What Kind of Solar Cell Do you Need?</p>
<p>Are you look for a full blown solar system or just a hot water solar heater system. both are different and both will have different needs. For most people when they think of a home solar power system they are thinking about what is called a PV system.</p>
<p>Using a PV system does not automatically mean you are off the grid. Though some households do power themselves completely independently, the majority of solar users remain connected to the electric grid. This way they can still buy electricity at night or when their demand exceeds their PV systems production.</p>
<p>Photovoltaic systems or array consist of PV panels (solar panels) and an inverter which converts the DC (direct current) current to AC (alternating current). They also utilize net metering, which means your electricity meter can run forwards and backwards. When you produce more power than you use at any given moment, the meter runs backwards as you send the excess back to the grid and effectively sell that power back to your power company. (They pay or credit you at exactly the same price per KWh they charge you). For the average customer this results in significant reductions in their electricity bill.</p>
<p>The size of your PV system will depend primarily on your electricity usage and availability of suitable roof. Residential systems are typically sized between 1 and 5 kilowatts. You can roughly estimate that per kilowatt (1000 watts) a PV system will require 100 ft2 of roof and will generate 1000-1500 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. A typical system will last for 25 years.</p>
