Solar Panels come in two varieties -- the type that we call “Solar Electric”  and the type we call “Solar Thermal”.

Solar electric gets all the attention these days. it’s kind of “sexy” to put electric panels designed for spacecraft on your roof and be part of the future. Because there is no doubt that the future is green and clean. The point is for the householder “What makes sense now?”

Prices are coming down as the industrial capability to produce gears up. In particular China sees solar as it’s future and it’s awesome and growing industrial base is designing it’s development to Western -- mostly American homes!

I’ll discuss much more of this later but for now there’s a great video presentation I came across by a solar industry expert. Get yourself something to drink because this is like a regular college lesson it’s nearly an hour long.

I’ll publish a summary of this soon so you can see at a glance if it’s worth your time!

All For Now

Solar Energy is the sunshine energy that powers the whole planet and drives the entire living Earth. Not surprisingly solar enrgy can be used to power lights, air conditiong units and just about any other electrical device we have at home…

And not just at home either.

The focus of  “Solar Panels for Home Use” is naturally going to be on solar panels that we use at home but there are small flexible solar panels you can take when backpacking which you can whip out and power your laptop with!

Solar can be used to cover your entire roof or you can just have a single panel – there’s no need to spend a fortune on installing a complete system which can give you all your home power.

Truth is if you do install a complete system you may be able to sell electricity to your local utility company. I’ve not gone that far – but I can easily imagine how enjoyable that would be.

Solar panels have come a long way and a lot of the money that has gone into the space race has been used to develop solar panel technology. We all expect satellites and space stations to have big panels sticking out but often we fail to notice that these are the solar panels powering the entire electrical system.

Space age technology is now here in the home and is saving loads of people money on their home bills and giving off grid people extra options and freedom

It does sound like science fiction – sunshine hits the solar panel and electricity comes out…

But this is science fact and it is free electricity once the panels are purchased…

…or built!
