A picnic in the  park and also the sound of laughter under a blue sky within the  shimmering sun can re-charge maybe the most worn down of batteries. If  it rings true then you’ve got experienced the power of Sol, our sun  which makes all life on Earth achievable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All growing things in the end rely on the power of the sun’s rays.  But people are getting to be more and more adept at harnessing the life  giving rays of the sun and a solar powered generator is becoming a  typical sight in many backyards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lots of men and women are aware of generators and use them for many  events like outings or even concerts. On the other hand, not as many  customers have learned to know of something referred to as a portable  solar generator. Generators of this line do not use on-grid electricity;  instead they harness the power of the sun to function the most  effective way achievable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Citizens which are practicing a lot of green techniques are very  interested in this kind of product though it could be readily accessible  to any individual that decides they desire to try it out. Following  along with this info can support you uncover out all that you have to  know about these solar appliances.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We all realise that electric power price is rising nowadays and it’ll  very possibly go up inside the future. Whenever using electrical power  complications, money may be a large consideration which is the reason  why you will wish to begin opening your thoughts towards the notion of  photovoltaic driven machines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Placing the solar generators in an area where they can receive  maximum sunlight is necessary. This is since solar generators come with  solar panels that are successful in absorbing sunlight. Moreover,  generators also contain a cycle battery as well as an inverter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The functioning of an inverter in such generators would be to convert  the DC power stored in a battery into AC power. In case, one isn’t  using AC appliances, there is no need to have of an inverter along with a  simple DC meter and DC input will likely be good to perform the task.  The inverter one buys for a solar driven generator should be adequate  sufficient to supply energy for all requirements inside the home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It really is a extremely hard question to respond to, if this type of  power supply is worth their price. You will find two things that 1 need  to take into consideration before purchasing a solar generator. A solar  generator can only be economical should you determine your spending  budget and purpose of its usage. Generally, the cost of it for 1 home  could come around $20,000.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Such a high price, whether or not can be compensated by thinking long  term goals, is something that can’t be predicted easily. Even so, if 1  is purchasing a modest model meant for outdoor purposes, they can come  in $10,000 to $2,000. This is certainly not a rather high amount and it  might be managed. So its ideal for short term objectives, depending on  your spending budget.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The quite best advantage you are able to acquire making use of a  solar powered generator would be the fact that it uses solar powered  energy or perhaps in other words it is really fueled by the sun’s rays.  Solar powered energy is truly produced by acquiring natural light and  transforming it directly into electrical energy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This can be done by means of the use of solar panels, that occurs to  be big smooth screens composed of a great deal of individual solar  cells. Solar power costs nothing and it is in fact completely clean and  plentiful! Solar power is a kind of sustainable energy, and that itself  is an crucial component of the environmentally friendly movement.</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Solar hot water in Auckland: why is it such a great way to go green?</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-67" href="http://gmmsolar.com/what-makes-auckland-solar-water-heating-so-green-fight-global-warming-with-solar/_solarheater/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-67" title="_SolarHeater" src="http://gmmsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SolarHeater-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>To put it simply: <span style="color: blue;">climate change</span>.  It’s the single biggest environmental challenge we face today, and the  energy we consume to drive our cars, power the jets that whisk us away  on holiday, heat our homes, run all of our electronic gadgets, power our  factories, along with many, many other energy-guzzling activities, is  at the heart of the problem.</p>
<p>But when we look more closely, not all energy is created equal; some is definitely more ‘green’ and less harmful to the <span style="color: blue;">environment</span> than others, and solar gets full marks for being <span style="color: blue;">environmentally friendly</span>. Here’s why:</p>
<p>The biggest contributors to climate change are fossil fuels, because these are the forms of energy that emit <span style="color: blue;">carbon dioxide</span> (CO2 &#8211; the most prevalent greenhouse gas) and other greenhouse gases.  When we burn oil, natural gas, or coal, CO2 is emitted into the  atmosphere, creating a greenhouse effect that warms the earth’s  atmosphere. Coal has the highest rate of greenhouse gas emissions of  these fossils fuels, followed by oil and then natural gas, but all are  major contributors to the greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere that  are causing global warming.</p>
<p>This is in part because of just how  much fossil fuel energy the world consumes. As of 2005, oil accounted  for 37% of total energy consumption, followed by coal at 25% and gas at  23%. And to put things in a bigger picture, in recent years we’ve become  proper energy hogs; of all the energy produced since the Industrial  Revolution began in the 18th century, we have consumed half of that in  just the last two decades!</p>
<p>And in the last couple of years,  we’re really starting to see the effects of climate change that result  from all these greenhouse gas emissions that are entering the atmosphere  at breakneck speed.</p>
<div><ins><ins id="aswift_1_anchor"></ins></ins></div>
<p>Severe  weather events such as droughts, floods, and even extreme cold snaps  such as the one that’s gripped Britain this year, have all been  predicted by climate change models that link these changes in the  weather with higher atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.<br />
We need to do something, and we need to do it NOW. The big question is: what can any of us do about this enormous problem?</p>
<p>There’s nothing like climate change to get people into ‘overwhelm’  mode, since the problem seems so big and complex. But there’s one simple  and affordable thing you can do to make a big reduction to your  contribution to greenhouse gas emissions: switch to solar hot water.</p>
<p>Many hot water cylinders are powered by electricity, and a lot of  electricity in New Zealand is still produced by power plants that burn  coal, diesel, or gas. In contrast, the greenhouse gas emissions produced  by solar water heating are. . . ZERO! That’s because solar hot water  operates by capturing heat directly from the sun, without any other fuel  being burned or used. All of this put together means that whatever  steps we can all take to reduce our electricity consumption is a step  against global warming. This is significant because in most homes hot  water accounts for about 30% of your power bill.</p>
<p>Now, you may be  wondering if Auckland’s climate is suitable for using solar water  heating. On average in New Zealand, solar can provide about 50-75% of  your hot water needs, so while you will need a ‘boost’ from electricity  or gas from time to time, going solar will help you make a big reduction  in your power bills and consumption of fossil fuels. And given that  Germany, with its much cooler climate, is leading the world in adopting  solar technologies, it’s pretty clear that Auckland has more than enough  sun to make solar hot water worthwhile.<br />
The New Zealand Government  certainly thinks so! The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority  (EECA) provides a $1,000 rebate on qualifying solar water heating  systems, making the switch to solar just that much more affordable.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s lots more valuable information available in the free report  that&#8217;s listed below, for example tips on how to find out if solar is  right for you, how much you can expect to save on your power bills, how  much a solar water system costs, and how to find the best installer or  contractor to suit your unique needs.<br />
So take action now: download  the free report to get the information you need, and help New Zealand  become a leader in battling climate change.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Altamonte Springs, FL (PRWEB) February 13, 2009</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-60" href="http://gmmsolar.com/solar-manufacturer-offers-advice-solar-primer-for-smart-solar-shopping/images/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-60" title="images" src="http://gmmsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/images.jpg" alt="" width="277" height="182" /></a>With the recent boom of green awareness and media focus on  alternative energy solutions, more consumers are looking to solar energy  as a smart way to invest their money and enjoy immediate dividends.   Solar pays for itself through a reduction in energy bills and an  increase to your home’s value, and right now, federal and local  incentives can reduce the total cost of solar by up to 50% or more.   Before making such a big investment, UMA Solar, a national solar  manufacturer and distributor, is advising homeowners to follow these  important steps on their way to enjoying years of free energy from the  sun:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Step One:  Choose a Reputable Dealer</p>
<p>Solar is attracting a large number of new contractors into the field  who aren’t experienced or who are trying to make a fast buck and may  not be around when homeowners need service or warranty work.  Solar is  still in its infancy in the U.S. – and this makes it easier for  environmentally friendly (but uneducated) consumers to be taken for a  not-so-sunny ride with their money.  Homeowners should always get  several bids and make sure their chosen solar installer is fully  licensed, trained and insured.  Ask for referrals and check with your  local Better Business Bureau for potential complaints against the  company.  Solar does work, but only if it’s properly installed and best  suited to its environment.  Plenty of free, online sources abound for  solar energy education.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Step Two:  Know Your Solar Energy Options</p>
<p>Three main types of solar are available for use in the home today.   When considering solar, one of the most important considerations is  choosing the best technology for the particular application.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">(1) Solar Pool Heating</p>
<p>Solar pool heating will double your swim season by adding ten to 15  degrees to your pool’s temperature.  Many solar panels have a warranty  of 10-12 years and a design life of 20+ years.  Solar pool heating is by  far the most economical solar application available today.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">How it works</p>
<p>Pool heating technology requires large amounts of water (thousands  of gallons) to be heated to moderate, comfortable temperatures. High  volumes of water are circulated through lightweight polypropylene  collectors. In most cases, solar pool heating uses your existing pool  pump to circulate the water, so no added gas or electric expense is  required to use this technology.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Best for</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People with swimming pools who would like to double their swim season without paying for gas or electricity<br />
Commercial swimming facilities (recreational centers, hotels,  hospitals, universities, city facilities, campgrounds, apartment  complexes or condominium associations) who want to reduce their pool  heating costs</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(2) Solar Water Heating</p>
<p>Solar water heating is considered one of the most economical  appliances for your home.  It offers a short payback period of usually  five to ten years and provides an immediate savings on your monthly  utility bill of up to 30%.  Solar water heating systems always have  electric or gas backup, so you will never be without hot water.  Your  solar water heater should last from 15 to 20 years with minimal  maintenance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">How it works</p>
<p>Collectors designed for solar water heating are made of glass,  copper, aluminum and insulation. Their purpose is to heat relatively  small amounts of water (40 to 80 gallons in a home) very quickly, to  high temperatures suitable for bathing, laundry and dishwashing.  Just  as with an electric water heater, most solar water heaters require some  form of hot water storage like a tank.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Best for</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any homeowner who is replacing their leaking water heater<br />
Any homeowner who wants to save up to 30% of their utility bill for 20 years<br />
Any building that consumes large amounts of hot water</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(3) Solar Electric</p>
<p>Also known as photovoltaic (PV), solar electric technology features  large arrays of collectors made up of silicon-coated cells. Solar  electric systems require major components to properly conduct, control,  convert, distribute, and store the energy produced by the array.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Photovoltaic systems can be designed to provide DC and/or AC power  service, can operate interconnected with or independent of the utility  grid, and can be connected with other energy sources and energy storage  systems. The payback period of a solar electric system can extend to 20  or more years, but with federal and state incentives now available,  payback periods may be substantially reduced.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Best for</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Energy-conscious consumers who plan on staying in their homes for many years<br />
Environmentally friendly consumers who seek independence from foreign oil and local utilities</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Step Three:  Consider a Hybrid Solar Solution</p>
<p>Frequently the best option for utilizing solar is a hybrid, or  combination, of systems.  It is much more cost-effective to heat water  with a Solar Water Heater rather than using Solar Electric to power your  existing water heater.  Solar Electric systems are best utilized for  all other solar applications besides pool or water heating.  Using a  Solar Water Heater in conjunction with a Solar Electric system would  result in a break-even payback period of ten-plus years sooner than an  equivalent rated Solar Electric system by itself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Solar can and does work and is the #1 choice of renewable energy  that’s clean and competitive today – but only if your system is planned  and installed correctly.  To learn more about solar energy for your home  or business, contact the U.S. Department of Energy’s website at  http://www.energy.gov/energysources/solar.htm or UMA Solar at  www.umasolar.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a very nicely done solar water heating system that generally follows the $1K design, but has a lot of excess capacity that can be used for hot tub or space heating purposes.<a rel="attachment wp-att-51" href="http://gmmsolar.com/kens-large-solar-water-heating-system/ken1kroof/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-51" title="Ken1KRoof" src="http://gmmsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Ken1KRoof-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Ken was able to get a set of    older, but unused collectors from  Craig&#8217;s list.  The six collectors    provide  nearly 200 square feet of  collector area, so the system    has excess capacity that Ken plans to  use for hot tub heating and/or space heating.</p>
<p>The tank is a very nicely done EPDM rubber lined tank with a capacity     of nearly 500 gallons.  The design details on the tank are very     nicely done, and it should be a good source of design information if you     are building a tank for your system.<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, it is important to note that this is only my personal story, if you want professional information about <strong>solar energy</strong> <strong>click here.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the beginning when I bought my first property and started as a  yang farmer I had thoughts on how can I save electricity and money.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I went through a lot of problems in these days. I had a friend who spoke to me about creating <strong>electricity through a turbine</strong> connected to the water stream passes through the area of my house, I  did that, just to install this thing it took me a whole two weeks of  hard work and after I completed this complex system I realized that the <strong>turbine electricity</strong> is very minor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I can’t tell you how frustrated I was. I invested so much money to  buy these parts of the turbine and it certainly was not worth it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I kept looking for all sorts of alternatives that worth something, I must say that few people told me about the <strong>solar system </strong>back in these days, but after the turbine thing, almost everything looked like a scam to me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, a friend of mine asked me to help him install a <strong>solar system </strong>in his house, because he knew I had a good technical sense and I happily agreed to help him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In our way to his house my friend told me how <strong>solar energy</strong> is an amazing thing and that he read a lot about it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He also said that an like before, you don’t have to invest thousands of dollars to have <strong>solar system</strong> in your house.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When we got to his home and I saw the guide that he bought, I was in shock!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This guide was so easy and simple with step by step videos telling you how to build a <strong>solar system</strong> in your house in less than 200 dollars.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After one week from that point of time I had a<strong> solar system</strong> already installed in my house.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You are welcome to see to <strong>see the guide yourself</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That’s it my friends, I hope you loved my story ( :</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>residential solar electricity</strong> can save you a lot of money, guaranteed</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Most People Think of Solar Electricity</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-33" href="http://gmmsolar.com/use-the-power-of-the-sun-with-solar-electricity/ps10_solar_power_tower/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-33" title="PS10_solar_power_tower" src="http://gmmsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/PS10_solar_power_tower-300x186.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="186" /></a>When asked about alternative energy or renewable energy, most people  think of solar electricity.  Generating electricity from the sun is a  technology that everyone knows well.  Whether it is your pocket  calculator, home, or workshop, regardless of your power needs, solar  electricity can get the job done.<br />
<strong><br />
Solar Power : Unique Advantages</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Solar electricity has a number of unique advantages over conventional  or grid-based electricity.  Solar electric systems can be designed for a  variety of applications and are extremely beneficial in remote areas  where other electric opportunities do not exist.  In addition,  photovoltaic systems that generate solar electricity have no moving  parts therefore requiring minimal maintenance, are easily expandable,  and with many smaller units, transportable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Environmental Compability</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Environmental compatibility is a huge selling point for converting to  solar electricity.  The fuel for generating solar electricity is a free  renewable resource, the sun.  Solar electricity offers no noise  pollution and actually almost no pollution from their operation.   Another appealing factor for many who choose solar electricity over  conventional electricity is simply the independence.  It is an  attractive offer to many rural dwellers to know that when the lights go  out due to storms or blackouts, theirs are still working.  No longer a  slave to waiting on hold to report an outage to find it will be 10 hours  before their service will be restored.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Hardest Part…<br />
</strong><br />
The hardest part of converting to solar electricity is the cost of the  system.  Investing in a solar energy system can be a substantial upfront  cost.  The value of solar electricity is realized over several years.  A  professionally installed solar array for an average dwelling (avg.  $100/month in electric bills) could pay for itself in 5 years.  You  could reduce that number by building your own solar panel system or by  purchasing a used system.  With many solar energy systems in less rural  areas and only in some states, you can sell your unused solar  electricity back to the electric company.  In these situations the  return on your investment is realized much more quickly.<br />
<strong><br />
Solar Power Benefits</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Using the power of sun with solar electricity is a benefit to the  environment and to your home.  Solar electricity is already being used  to supplement power for a number of large cities in North America.  Take  time to learn more about solar electricity and how you can have trade  in your electric bill for a carefree life with solar electricity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-22" href="http://gmmsolar.com/2011-tax-credit-for-metal-roofing/2478282466_d72563006f/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-22" title="2478282466_d72563006f" src="http://gmmsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/2478282466_d72563006f-300x211.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="211" /></a>There’s good news, bad news and some overall positive news for Metal  Roofing Customers in 2011 who are looking to qualify for the Energy Star  Tax Credit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Good News first:</strong><br />
Legislation extends the 25C heating and cooling equipment and building envelope tax incentives for another year!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Bad News:</strong><br />
At Reduced levels! The new bill extends eligibility to the end of 2011,   but reduces the incentive to the original 10% up to $500 from the   originally amount of 30% up to $ 1,500.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Positive News:</strong><br />
Metal Roofing is still one of the most energy efficient home  improvements you can install on your home. And although the tax credit  has decreased, energy prices are still going up which means installing a  metal roof now can save you even more money in the short and long term.  “Cool” Metal Roofing uses infrared pigments in the paint coating to  reflect the sun’s radiation reducing roof surface temperatures by up to  100 degrees Fahrenheit! In addition, because metal roofing is much less  bulky than asphalt shingles, it doesnt hold heat as long, saving you 1-2  hours each night from running your AC in the summer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, metal roofing is still the most versatile roof system on the planet with the ability to integrate with <strong>thin film solar roofing,</strong> solar thermal and hot water, reflective attic barrier above decking as  well as enkamat synthetic mesh spacer for added insulation.</p>
