As our nations grows older and the technology
larger and more popular the more energy is going to be needed to power our
homes and our cars and our technology. More people are using more and more
energy these days, peoples electric bill are going through the roof and the
cost of electricity around the U.S. is hurting our economy. Heck the average
U.S. citizen spends $3052 a year on just electricity.
So what is the U.S. doing to find
new ways of collecting free energy, well a lot of things, for example? There
are Connectix roads for cars driving over them collect energy form the cars,
there are wind hills that are generated form wind power, and collect energy
form the wind. There are many more, but I’m here to talk about solar panels.
Solar panels is a very environmentally
friendly source of clean energy, the fuel is free and will never be subjected
to the ups and downs of energy markets. It’s also a clean alternative to the
fossil fuel that pollute our air and water and threaten our health, and help
contribute to global warming. Solar panels work by convert the sun’s rays into
electricity by exciting electron in silicon cells using the photons of light
form the sun. The electricity that is collected can be used to power you homes,
schools, business, and so on. It can power the heat, light, and all around functions
where ever they are placed.
Solar panels are becoming a very popular way to get free energy,
and what is heard to lower people electric bill and save money. The amount of
solar panels being manufactured is growing by the minute, so there are more
home owners, and business owners switching to this clean and free form of
energy supply.
Solar energy is easily becoming the way of the future in energy efficiency |
There are some rough side effects are, such as land space.
Solar panels need a large amount of space defending on the structure or land
scape there supporting on. And there are also hazardous waste. Solar panels may
contain hazardous materials that could be released when a panel is damaged or
disposed incorrectly.
Another strong side effect of
solar panels is that they are extremely expensive, even the smallest on solar
pads can still cost up to 15,000 dollars. And they can cost in the millions of
dollars depending on the size and amount of energy you want to collect from
them, and some has come out and said solar panels have caused their electric
bills to not lower but rise. Which causes worries to the manufactures of solar
panels.
Solar panels are being distributed
throughout the U.S. in homes, businesses, and in schools for efficient clean
and free energy solutions. For examples. My own neighbors have there on working
solar panel system, and Cumberland valley high school invested in over 3 million
dollars’ worth of solar panels for and energy efficient school.
This just shows that solar panels are easily being distributed to not only to business but to local school districts and residents owners thought-out the country. |
The federal, state and local government offer great solar energy tax credits and rebates to encourage homeowners to switch to renewable energy to lower their energy use; solar panels. The amount of solar panels rebates varies by program, but some are generous enough to cover up to 30% of your solar power cost.
So to recap there are many different ways to help this world become a more energy efficient way of life. How you ask? By switching to energy efficient methods to save money, power, and protect our earth atmosphere. And in my opinion (solar panels) are a big impact on the future of energy efficiency, and a helpful hand to the new way of saving our planet.
