3 Renewable Energy Options for Your Home

Everybody wishes for a home that doesn’t use much energy.

The question is, what is the easiest way to achieve it? The answer varies depending on where you live and what kind of resources are at your disposal. If you happen to live near the ocean, you might do great with the water energy, while someone living in Siberia may not be as lucky as you are. There are three most common sources of renewable natural energy that you might want to consider if you plan on going eco-friendly and reducing your monthly bills.

Solar Energy

It is almost a sin not to use solar energy if you live in a place sunny, more than half a year. The solar energy market is growing around 49% each year. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most effective and versatile renewable energy sources. It can generate electricity, heat water, and provide light. Installing solar energy can be done by building a distributed generator, or a central station, depending on your preferences.

Wind Energy

Another perfect green energy source is wind. It is a solution perfect for people who live in windy places such as ocean islands and costs, or a colder climate such as Antarctica. Wind energy is obtained with wind turbines that capture kinetic energy and generate electricity. A typical home wind turbine uses around 11 000 kilowatt-hours per year.

Water Energy

If you live near the river, lake, sea, or any other reservoir, you might want to consider building a hydropower system at your house to generate electricity. Small, at-home ones usually produce up to 100 kilowatts of electricity. A 10-kilowatts micro-hydropower system is enough to provide energy for an average household with a couple of residents. You can also use a new boiler UK if you live in Britain to save energy and water consumption. 

Conclusion

You can always choose the mixed system and use natural and artificial energy, depending on the season, or part of the day. If that is the case, educate yourself on the power supplying companies in your area. You can read views on Discount Power here and Champion Services reviews here. Choose wisely, keeping both the environment and your monthly expenses in mind.
