Alternative energy

In the modern world, the use of alternative energy sources is becoming increasingly popular. Whichever way you look at it, it only brings benefits for the owners. However, in order to realize this opportunity, initially you have to work a little and take care of the right equipment.

We will tell you about the advantages of alternative sources of electricity, as well as about who and why it will be useful, later in this article.

Types of alternative sources

Already in the process of designing a private house, architects are laying innovative energy equipment that will help residents to permanently abandon the services of central electricity supply. This makes it possible for all systems at home to work autonomously even in the event of accidents at nuclear power plants, to provide themselves with the necessary energy, as well as significantly save on the board.

Energy can be taken from the sun, wind and water, as well as using modern combined systems of various capacities.

The most common and simple types of equipment that can be installed in your home:

• Solar panels or photomodules. They collect energy from the sun and, naturally, in the spring-summer period it is almost 4 times more than in winter. For example, for an average house with an area of 300-400 square meters, 12 solar panels will be enough for you, in summer on average their productivity will be 300-400 kW / hour, and in winter about 150 kW / hour. Modules or batteries are connected to a special inverter system via a charger, and a battery is installed underground to accumulate unspent energy. The basis of solar panels are mono- or polycrystals, which have their own operating characteristics and are selected based on the climate in which you live.
• Solar collectors. They are often used in the private sector in the summer, when there is a lot of sun and there is no need to spend money on heating and water heating. Having accumulated solar energy, collectors transform it into heat and use it for direct heating of water in boilers or collect it in a special buffer tank. They are installed on the roofs of houses.
• Wind generators. They work due to huge autonomous structures with a height of at least 25 meters and with a blade diameter of 6-7 meters. They transform wind power into energy, receiving a directly proportional amount of electricity to wind power in a given period. Wind generators are often used together with solar panels, thus it is possible to achieve an optimal amount of electricity - about 700 kW / hour, this is enough for the full functioning of a house with a large number of electrical appliances turned on at full power.
• Heat pumps or geothermal alternative energy sources. They receive a resource from land and water and effectively cope with providing the house with the necessary electricity. They have the only drawback - very expensive equipment initially.

Advantages

• Saving on utility bills is the very first and obvious plus. The equipment pays off in a few years, and you can safely forget about receipts and bills.
• Taking care of the environment – the production of heat from natural sources does not cause any harm to the environment, helps to make electricity consumption reasonable and moderate.
• Full autonomy – independence from central heating and power grids, which often have interruptions or accidents.
• Investments are profitable income. In addition to their own use, residents can earn extra electricity by giving it to Regional Power. So the installation of this equipment can be a profitable investment for people living in their own homes with suitable weather conditions.

Who should install the equipment

1. People who have the opportunity to invest, and they can afford to purchase equipment to save, and in the future, easy passive income.
2. Residents of remote regions who have no other options for obtaining electricity, they can equip the house with the necessary collectors and use electricity in the volume they need.
3. Who wants to use green energy and reduce emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, cares about the environment and the future of our planet. All these reasons are weighty and show how much better life can become in a private house with such equipment.

In order for your house to have a high energy efficiency coefficient, we recommend contacting specialists in order to choose the necessary type of alternative source of electricity with the right power, as well as rationally install it. This will ensure the smooth operation of all systems and appliances in the house, which in turn will increase the comfort level of your life.
