Pollution control through solar technology

Climate change is something we read about in news stories. But is this real? Is man really to blame for the pollution of the earth? The answer, according to climate experts is yes. Can man do anything to reverse this process? Fortunately, the development of more efficient and cost-effective solar panels is making it easier than ever before to generate your own electricity. Due to technological advances in solar, there are several ways to incorporate solar energy into our daily lives. The energy is free, it’s easily accessible, and producing it is clean. Considering all the benefits, it is surprising that solar power is not more widely used. Advances in technology mean that it’s easier to manufacture solar panels, which makes them cheaper, and today’s solar panels can harness more energy with a smaller surface space. Today, the technology exists to make clear solar panels, which could be used on office buildings to generate large quantities of clean, non-polluting energy.

Take advantage of solar technology with these points

Outdoor lighting: Some people leave electric path lights on all night to light up walkways. This uses electricity, but if they’re solar-powered, you won’t have to worry about checking to see if they’re turned off every night. Because there are no wires, solar-powered path and accent lights are easy to install. Some companies offer strands of solar-powered string lights to decorate your yard or porch, so you can enjoy the lights, guilt-free.

Chargers: Chargers for phones and other devices are a leading source of vampire energy. Place your charging station by a sunny window and try using solar chargers instead. Also keep looking for some cool inventions seen in other countries, such as solar sockets that stick onto a window or a magazine that doubles as a charger. 

Solar toys: Children are impressionable and they love gadgets of all kinds. Get your prospective environmentalists interested in solar power at an early age with the wide range of solar powered toys available. They’re as simple as solar beads that change color when exposed to sunlight or as elaborate as solar-powered robot kits. It’s a great way to educate kids about the power of sunlight. Once they become adults, they’ll understand the importance of this source of energy and hopefully, their generation will find more ways to harness it.

Solar oven: You can buy solar ovens or even find ways to make your own “do it yourself” solar oven. They’re great for camping, but also would be a good way to cook a meal in the summer when turning on the oven is likely to heat up the whole house.

Water heaters: Solar water heaters have helped to reduce energy bills for homeowners since the 1970’s. There are many types of solar water heaters designed for different climates.

Cars with solar features: Some cars already utilize solar technology. People enjoy parking in the hot sun if their car has a solar roof, like some Prius models. The solar roof panels on this car power a fan that keeps the air circulating, reducing the interior temperature of the car while parked. In addition, a new experimental car by Ford has solar panels in the roof that help recharge the battery.

There has never been a better time to install a solar energy system!
