Green Home Energy Alternatives

By Michael Como | August 7, 2010 |

The cost of home energy consumption is one of the main problems of people today and governments tell us it’s going up. We think we’re already paying too much for the amount of electricity that we consume.

The fact is unless we revert to the Stone Age, we all need electricity to power our lives. We need and like the level of civilization that can be provided by electricity.

In the true spirit of humanity, people did what they always do whenever there’s something that does not completely satisfy them about life: they innovated.

 Alternative green home energy has been on the roll ever since people have made designs efficient enough to make them feasible. People may think that alternative green home energy is just a recent development, but in fact, alternative green home energy has been around even before electricity was discovered.

 Types of Alternative Green Home Energy

 1) Wind energy – Nowadays, windmills are used in homes to run small generators. These generators produce and store electricity to be used in running small home appliances. However, windmills have been around for a long time. The windmill was true, used to mill grain. As you may well know, grinding grain by hand is very hard work. So in order to make life more convenient and the production of flour more efficient, windmills were used to turn the large grinders. Seeing as how this was so effective, it was inevitable that the windmill evolve into the 21st century in order to be used as a power source.

 2) Solar energy – Many people think of this type of alternative home energy as something that’s technologically advanced. In a sense, harnessing the power of the sun to produce electricity is. But this alternative home energy has already been in use for a long, long time in the form of a clothesline. Yes, we have been using solar energy to dry our clothes, for how long?

This alternative home energy is harnessed nowadays for a variety of tasks. Some use it to heat their homes, others use solar power to heat water, and other people use solar cells to power small appliances and save a little on that electricity bill. The efficiency by which we are now able to convert solar power into electricity is of such a degree that it is very possible to power a whole house.

 3) Hydropower – This type of alternative home energy makes use of water currents in order to turn turbines to run generators. Once again, this is not really a new technology. Like windmills, waterwheels were often used to harness the power of a nearby river in order to grind grain into flour.

 4) Biogas – This is another alternative home energy source. Biogas is produced naturally via the decomposition of different biological materials. By using biogas instead of the common LPG, homeowners can cut back on their heating bills.

 5)  Tidal  Power – A simple generation system for tidal plants involves a dam, known as a barrage, across an inlet. Sluice gates (gates commonly used to control water levels and flow rates) on the barrage allow the tidal basin to fill on the incoming high tides and to empty through the turbine system on the outgoing tide, also known as the ebb tide. There are two-way systems that generate electricity on both the incoming and outgoing tides.

 Next Step

As you can see, there are a lot of different types of alternative home energy. What you need to do is explore these options and discover which type is the best for you to use. Perhaps your Custom Home Builder can help you renovate   your Green Home

Unfortunately, some of the methods of harnessing these different alternative home energy types may yet seem impractical to the common homeowner. However, as technology continues to evolve, you can be sure that the use of alternative energy will be more efficient.

 Benefits

By using alternative home energy, you accomplish two things: you save on your expenses and you help create a better world. You see, alternative home energy sources do not produce any harmful effects on the environment. By using these sources, you harness relatively free energy. Some people may say that the devices used to harness these sources may be too expensive, but in the long run, you’ll end up saving so much more than you spend.
