With technology development, the non-renewable sources of energy are diminishing rapidly. Though many of us are aware of this problem, we still prefer sticking to the conventional forms of energy for our own selfish needs. Though many websites provide information on alternative energy sources, none of these focus on dealing with the problem at the grass root level. Green DIY Energy is one website that is created to promote the use of renewable sources of energy and the ways of utilizing the same effectively.

Though everyone understands the importance of renewable energy, the cost involved in the process restricts its use. The cost can be in the form of buying the parts to build a solar panel at home or having a dealer install it. In both the cases, the expenditure involved is enormous; something which not everyone can afford. The creators of this website understand all these problems faced by a common man and have come up with solar panel designs which cost even less than $200.

The website, Green DIY Energy provides the subscribers with several guides that have the step by step procedure to build a solar panel which look completely professional. The instructions included in these guides are straightforward and easy to follow. The use of simple language makes it simple for the readers to understand the process. One does not need to be an expert at building to make use of these guides. In fact, these projects are so easy that you don't even require any sophisticated tools for the work. The processes have been made even simpler by providing diagrams with each step as well as supporting videos.

The first guide included in the package is about solar energy. It also talks about ways that can help you find free solar panels. The other information included in the guide covers the maintenance of your solar panel so that it works efficiently for a long time. The other guides included in the package describe various types of solar panels that can be made in less than $98. These also cover topics like soldering, connecting and joining the panels. An entire section is devoted to coupling solar panels to generate more energy.

The website also offers a number of bonuses to the subscribers. Some of these include a 60 minute video and a guide to effectively construct and maintain a wind turbine that will cost you less than $140.

The website not only aims at promoting the renewable sources of energy but also aims at educating the users about these sources of energy and how simple and effective the process of construction is. I can very much certify this statement as I, myself, have purchased these guides and have my solar panel made and installed. I have not only cut down by electricity bills but also feel great about doing my share to save our environment.

No matter which country you live in, almost every household has to deal with power outages and power failures even for short duration of time. This can be a big problem especially in those houses that need to have a constant supply of electricity if they have set up home offices or have some heavy appliances to run.

Moreover, frequent power cuts can actually destroy appliances like computers, refrigerators and TV because the constant power cuts burn the inside chips and parts. For these reasons, it is necessary to have generators for home, which can provide adequate power for furnaces, refrigerators, air conditioners and heaters to work.

Types of Home Generators:

There are two kinds of home generators -

Portable Generators - The portable generators are used when you have to power certain specific appliances like your personal computer or furnaces. Since they are portable and smaller in size, you can have several of these portables in your home and use it according to the capacity.

Stationary Generators - The stationary generators are used to power the whole house during power outage. These standby generators are bigger in size and usually installed in the house basement. Also, there are certain limits in which these generators work. In other words, while installing the stationary generators, you have to decide beforehand the number of electrical items you want to light. On that basis, you create combination's of generator connections and light only those appliances when there is no power.

Ideally, you should select that generator for the home which has more capacity that the maximum wattage requirements of the total number of appliances you are planning to connect it with. Moreover, remember that the total load on the generator should not go beyond the prescribed limit; otherwise the generator for the home can begin to malfunction. Remember that you should not connect the home generator with the home wiring system.

Instead you should connect the portable generator with recommended extension cords; otherwise mismatched cords can cause power overload and catch fire, thereby completely destroying expensive equipments. Generators for the home should be installed with the help of professional electrical contractors.
