Indoor Solar Lights and Other Solar Energy Solutions

The world's traditional sources of energy -- wood, coal, and oil -- are being used at a rate that is greater than they are being created (and oil and coal are not being created at all), so it makes complete sense that we turn to a completely free source of energy: the sun and solar energy. Not only is solar energy easily available, it helps us to control pollution of the environment.

Many people are wary of implementing solar energy solutions in their homes because they think they are expensive, difficult to install, and awkward to manage. In fact if you look carefully into the facts you will find that it is actually very easy to deploy and use solar power systems. Not only will they help you to reduce your energy bills and your dependence on the energy companies, you will be better protected against power shortages and blackouts, and you will also be doing your bit for the environment -- and saving the world for future generations of mankind.

But what are the options for using solar power in your home? Here are the first ones that spring to mind:

Indoor solar lights: Your solar home lighting system will generate electricity that your home can use -- photovoltaic cells receive the sunlight directly and convert the solar energy into electrical energy that you can store for use later; in that way you can have the lights on even at night-time when the sun is no longer shining and hence solar energy is not available! Anyone can install indoor solar lights and not have to worry about your electricity bills ever again.

Solar energy cooker: This is a cooking tool that uses no conventional fuel to operate. Instead of electricity, gas, wood, or coal, this sort of cooker uses the direct heat of the sun. The sort of solar cooker that is now available is more sophisticated than you may at first think: you can grill, boil, bake, and roast your food items on a suitable device. The only issue is that food tends to take longer to cook than with a conventional cooker, and that the sun needs to be shining; but given the free source of energy that a solar cooker uses, this is a great alternative that could cut a great chunk out of your energy bill.

Solar heating: Systems using the sun's power to heat your home have come a long way, and are not inexpensive and will not make your house look like it belongs to a weirdo. The people who provide solar heating systems for your home will ensure it fits properly and does not look out of place. What's more, a solar heating system will pay for itself typically within three or four years, and any solar power it provides after that will be completely free.

So when you are relaxing in the sun, you can derive great satisfaction from the fact that the very same sun you are enjoying is also powering your home and all for free, with no pollution and making no impact on your wallet!
