Solar energy for use in homes
- Architects are designing houses where living rooms are positioned in the south. This way more sun streams through the rooms. Of course, houses in the southern hemisphere have rooms facing the north.
- On the south side, windows are built bigger to allow maximum sun rays.
- Keep a well ventilated house. Windows and doors should be facing each other. In the evening, opening windows and doors will let in fresh air. This will also cool the house.
- If you live in cold region, ensure that the house is well protected from draughts by insulating roofs.
- At homes, solar cooker can be used for making food and solar heaters can warm water. Hence you save on your gas and electricity bills.
Wind energy for use in homes
- Installing wind turbine in your area can help generate electricity for your home.
- A small turbine produces enough energy for one home at least.
- Ensure that the wind turbine is placed on a high hill.
- There aren’t tall trees or buildings blocking the supply of continuous wind to the turbine.
- The speed and direction of the wind are suitable to give you enough supply to run your house on it.
- Turbines have a long life. They last for up to 20 years or more. Maintenance cost is not very high. So one need not be bothered about service charges.
- Electricity consumption is reduced. Thus helping you with your savings.
