Is It Possible To Be 100% Energy Independent?

Enjoy the following pic ideas. Don't forget to leave us a quick comment below.

And please share this post within your social networks.

  • The most recent reports suggest that it is already too late to stop the planet warming by 1.5°C and that global warming is accelerating.

    The report suggests that the key to reducing the amount the planet warms is in reducing carbon emissions, that is something everyone can help with.

    Becoming 100% energy independent is a step in the right direction, but it is actually possible?

    The good news is that it is!

Going Solar

Notes:

  • Best and Most Efficient Option:

    For many people, this is the simplest way to move toward energy independence. Solar panels are fitted to your roof, preferably facing in a southerly direction to maximize the available sun.

  • The sun warms the panels and causes the molecules inside them to vibrate, this creates heat and movement which can be transferred into electricity. The electricity can then be directed into your home and used for your needs.
  • Of course, there are a few complications which is why you need a reputable business specializing in premium solar installations to do the work for you.
  • Storing the Electricity:

    Alongside working out how many panels you need to supply enough power, you’ll need to create a bank of batteries to store the power. You also need a transformer to convert the DC created by the panels into the AC that your appliances need.

  • It is also important to have a smart unit that directs the electricity where it needs to go, ensuring the excess is stored for later use. Providing you don’t connect your install to the grid and you are careful with your energy usage, you can move completely off-grid and become electrically independent.
  • What else to consider:
    • Is solar right for you:

      It all depends where your location is. If your home is located is a region where you experience a lot of sun throughout the year, a solar investment may be worth looking into.

    • Your home needs direct sunlight exposure that is not shaded by tall trees or other structures. And solar panels may be justified if you live in areas with high electricity costs:

Wind power

Notes:

  • It is possible to add a wind generator to your home. This is effectively a small turbine that turns in the wind and generates electricity. In most cases, this is used as a supplement to other electrical supplies to reduce your dependency on the grid.
  • However, if you have the space, several wind turbines can give you the power you need and you can supplement this with solar panels.
  • What do to with the wind:
    • On Windy Days:

      Wind – it is a necessity of life on earth. It’s the winds that control the movements of weather for life-sustaining needs. But sometimes in many areas, the winds just keep blowing.

    • So what to do? You can enjoy it by having some wind fun. Harness it to generate electricity. Understand it to protect you home and family.

Insulation

Notes:

  • One of the keys to becoming 100% electrically independent is to evaluate the amount of electricity you use and cut down. You will find that heating and cooling your home is one of the biggest uses of energy, by adding insulation you can reduce the amount of heat or cooling air you need to add to your home.
  • This will reduce your carbon footprint and make it easier to become electrically independent. Many new homes are being designed to maximize insulation and energy efficiency, making it easier to become energy independent.
  • Keeping heated and cooled air inside:
    • Finding “Energy-Loss” Gaps:

      How often have you sat at home wrapped in a cardigan or sweater and still felt a bitter cold seeping into your bones?

    • You might wonder how your home could be so cold all the time, but a quick walkthrough of the property may reveal several sources of preventable heat loss.

The closest alternative

Notes:

  • Despite government grants, there is no doubt that a high-quality solar panel installation is expensive. If you can’t stretch to this at the moment you can choose a green electricity supplier. These are suppliers who create’ environmentally neutral electricity and supply it to your home.
  • It’s the next best thing to gaining your own electrical independence; because you are looking after the environment.
  • Plus there is more you can do:
    • Life-style changes:

      Let’s take a look at home behaviors as it relates to energy use. We – meaning the family – often leave lights on in rooms that are not occupied. Run outside to play without turning off the TV.

    • We often forget to pull the blinds at night for added insulation and security. Play with the thermostat to raise heating or cooling temps. Keep the water on insensibly while brushing our teeth. And the list goes on-and-on regarding wasteful energy consumption.
