Everything You Need to Know about Energy Independence

By  Alvin Pacot Post date When most people talk about energy independence, they’re usually talking about major infrastructure for cities, states, and countries. But individuals can also harness energy independence. Energy independence can also refer to households, most of which are tethered to their local and regional electrical grids. Here, the question shifts to how a home or office can keep the power going when the grid, or components of it, fails. The good news is that uninterrupted energy access is possible and, in fact, happening. Solar Energy Is Here Power from the sun has now been harnessed for years, and ongoing research makes this source increasingly efficient. Solar power is renewable, i.e. it cannot be exhausted through intensive consumption. Installed on the roof of a house, solar panels, made primarily from silicon, transform photons radiated from the sun into direct current (DC). Passing through an inverter, the direct current becomes alternating current (AC) which, ...

The Impact of Solar Energy in our Futures

  By  Alvin Pacot Clean energy is a renewable and clean source of energy, solar power, wind power, geothermal and hydroelectric are clean energies. Solar energy has the ability to do a big impact on reducing pollution and saving the environment in the future. This source of clean energy was found billions of years ago and it will be available for us for more than a billion years. Solar energy is not threatened by oil depletion or any other limited resource that can disappear one day like coal, uranium, etc. And also it’s not possible to pollute the atmosphere with this clean energy because there is no such thing as “sky pollution”. So we have to take advantage of this clean sourcing to produce clean energy at home, office, factory, or other uses. Renewable sources of energy will not produce pollution to the environment, clean energy sources include solar power, wind power, geothermal and hydroelectric. At the same time, another benefit from this clean energy is its price which...
